Copa America Centenario will conclude Sunday at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium with a rematch of last year’s final between Argentina and Chile. The final, which will be shown live on StarTimes World Football Channel 254, has all the stakes for a tantalizing finale to a tournament celebrating 100 years.
On one hand, Chile will be looking to retain the trophy it acquired after beating favourites in last year’s competition. On the other hand, Argentina will be looking to win its first major trophy in two decades.
Argentina suffered an extra-time loss to Germany in the World Cup final in Brazil, and Chile came out on top on a penalty shootout in last year’s Copa America final in Santiago.
Five players involved when the Argentina won the most recent of its Under 20 World Cup titles in 2007 – Sergio Agüero, Ángel di María, Éver Banega, Gabriel Mercado and Sergio Romero – will be part of a lineup that takes on Chile on Sunday night. All are now 28 or 29 years old, right in their primes.
