❤ ❤ ❤Copa America Final 2016: TV Channel, Prediction, Latest Team News For Argentina vs. ChilennEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — On the eve of Argentina’s latest attempt to end a 23-year wait for a senior international title, coach Gerardo Martino had little interest in discussing the agonizing near-misses of the past, including last year’s Copa America final defeat to Chile in Santiago. The same teams will face off once again for the trophy Sunday, this time in New Jersey. And asked what one thing he learned from that penalty shootout defeat 12 months ago, Martino was straight to the point.n“We can’t lose another final,” he said in his final press conference at MetLife Stadium.nArgentina came out on top against Chile in a 2-1 victory.nSince then, Argentina has won four more matches by an aggregate score of 16-1. In the semifinals on Tuesday, Martino’s side swept aside host team the United States, 4-0, in Houston. One highlight was a brilliant free-kick from Lionel Messi, who has struck five goals in the tournament, nContinue Reading BelownFor Messi, the match represents another chance to add to his vast array of titles for Barcelona with one with his country. But he also has been in the spotlight for other reasons ahead of the match, like describing the Argentina Football Association as a “disaster” after the team’s flight from Houston was delayed Thursday.nBut far more significant for Martino is that Messi, who looked physically spent the last two summers, appears fresh and in form this time around. And the Argentina coach now believes the 29-year-old is playing at the same level for his country as he has done with such unnerving regularity for his club.n“I think for a long time now, he's been performing very well with the national team, many more positive performances than not-so-good ones,” Martino, who coached Messi for a season at Barcelona, added. “Like in Barcelona, he's been playing with the same people for a long time. It makes him feel good, happy and in a good place.”nMessi could be joined on the starting lineup Sunday by one of his chief collaborators, Ángel di María. The Paris Saint-Germain man starred in the first match against Chile, registering a goal and an assist, making it no surprise that Chile coach Juan Antonio Pizzi described him as Argentina’s most influential player after Messi.nAnd now, having been out with an abductor injury since that opening game, Martino has confirmed that Di María is in contention for the final, along with Javier Pastore, who has yet to play a minute in the tournament. Still, Pastore appeared to train separately from his teammates at the start of Argentina’s final training session Friday, and subsequently, midfielder Ever Banega’s place was thrown into doubt by muscle strain.nWhatever team he ends up fielding, Martino is expecting to take on an improved Chile side from the teams’ meeting June 6. While Argentina has been strong throughout the competition, Chile has very much grown into the tournament.nDíaz and (almost all) the players who will feature against Argentina on Sunday have been in this position before, but for Pizzi, who was born in Argentina but represented Spain as a player, it will be something new. The former Valencia and San Lorenzo coach admitted that Sunday would be “Without a doubt, the most important match of my career.”nAnd he knows that in order to come out on top, he is likely to have to figure out how to stop Messi.n“Statistically, I think that playing against the most transcendental player in history,” Pizzi said. “It will be no easy task for us to be able to stop the statistics that Messi has been putting up. Despite these statistics, we think we are able to compete against Argentina and overcome Argentina, and we’re going to put in our full efforts to do so.”nnPredicted Score: Argentina 2-1 ChilennFINAL DE LA COPA AMERICA 2016!!!
