The final is set for Sunday night in Miami

Lionel Messi’s Argentina face off against James Rodriguez and Colombia on Sunday night in the Copa America final in Miami, kickoff set for 8 p.m. ET. It’s a poetic Copa America final as Colombia will meet the last team that defeated them for a chance at their first title since 2001 on Sunday in Miami. It would be only their second title ever and to do it, Los Cafeteros would need to get past the reigning champions in Lionel Messi and Argentina. Already setting one record in tournament play, James Rodriguez now has the most assists in any single Copa America with six but he’ll be eying at least a seventh to run Colombia’s unbeaten streak to 29 matches in all competitions.

Storylines

Colombia: Rolling through every obstacle in their path, Nestor Lorenzo will have yet one more to overcome if Colombia are to win a Copa America title. Right back Daniel Munoz will be suspended for the final after picking up two yellow cards in the first half against Uruguay. After Rodriguez, Munoz has arguably been Colombia’s second-best player during this tournament scoring two goals while playing excellent defense. Likely to be replaced by Santiago Arias in the final, it will cause a slightly different look to Colombia’s attack.

Argentina: Need more of the Argentina that faced Canada and less of the side that has performed below expectations for most of this tournament. While Messi has been dealing with fitness concerns, he was still able to score against the Canucks but it has been the form of Lautaro Martinez and Julian Alvarez that has powered Argentina during this tournament. They will need more from their defense, especially on set plays where Rodriguez has assisted four goals, but if there’s a team that can stop a high-powered attack in a final, it’s Argentina.

Prediction

Colombia will come full circle to win Copa America and extend their unbeaten run. With yet another victory, who will end up stopping this team? Pick: Colombia 2, Argentia 1
