AFTER gruelling group stage clashes and quarterfin­als, Argentina, Brazil, Peru and Columbia managed to book their places in the semifinals.

The 2021 Copa America is marching towards its business end with only four teams left as the contenders to lift the coveted cup on July 11.

After gruelling group stage clashes and quarterfin­als, Argentina, Brazil, Peru and Columbia managed to book their places in the semifinals.

Brazil, who are the defending champions, have been the most dominant team in Copa America this season so far.

They have won four of their five matches. While Argentina are the other title contenders who have also won four out of five clashes, they have relied more on the brilliance of their talisman Lionel Messi. Peru and Columbia have shared ups and downs in the tournament but they broke several barriers to seal places in semis.

Messi has been the top-scorer in Copa America 2021 with four goals and the Argentine also leads the race in most assists with 4.

A dream ‘Argentina vs Brazil’ final is on the cards and that is exactly what the fans are praying for ahead of the Copa America 2021 semi-finals.

Both Argentina and Brazil have the opportunit­y of making the summit clash and fans cannot keep calm about the prospect.

The two traditiona­l footballin­g rivals and giants from South America could meet each other in what could be a ‘once in a lifetime’ final.

But for that to happen, Lionel Messi, who has been in sublime form, would have to come up with the goods once again when Argentina takes on a resilient Colombia in the semis. On the other hand, Brazil would lock horns with Peru’s side for a spot in the final.
