Argentina Bests Canada

      Well, there were thousands of fans wearing the blue stripes of Argentina's flag tonight in the Meadowlands stadium. Yes, thee were some fans wearing red of Canada's team color.  Canadian fans were happy to be here in a venue with more than 80,000 fans attending the COPA semi final game. Many came to watch the "Flea", a moniker of Lionel Messi, the legendary boy wonder of South America's iconic team.

Messi did not disappoint: he scored a goal, he made several shots on goal, and he played full time. The Argentines will go to the final, again, and play the winner of Colombia v. Uruguay game. Canada will play in the third place game against one of those 2 teams.
