In November of last year, 36-year-old Di Mara announced that he was retiring from international football following a stellar 15-year career playing for Argentina. Lionel Messi stated in a Saturday conversation with Direct TV Sports that he hoped Di Mara would score today during the final, just like he did in the 2021 Copa América final against Brazil as well as in the 2022 World Cup final against France.
What all has Angel di Maria achieved with Argentina so far?
Angel Di Mara has made 144 appearances for Argentina and scored 31 goals over his incredible career. He has participated in four World Cups and six Copa Américas. Among his noteworthy accomplishments is his game-winning strike in Argentina's 1-0 triumph over Nigeria, which allowed him to capture Olympic gold in Beijing in 2008.
Based on his work and dedication over the past several years, Angel Di Maria has emerged as one of the most important players for both his colleagues and the younger generation of players that watch him play for the National Team. Di Maria's distinctive playwrighting style has made him a global brand.
He had been seeking for years to win an international trophy as part of the senior national team, and in 2021, Argentina's historic 15th Copa America was eventually won at the famous Maracana stadium after they defeated Brazil. Angel Di Maria remained the only man to score that evening once more.
How has the first half of the Copa America 2024 panned out?
Today in Miami, Florida at the Hard Rock Stadium, Argentina will play Colombia in the Copa America 2024 final. CONMEBOL stated on X that the Copa America 2024 final involving Argentina and Colombia, scheduled for Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, has been postponed by 45 minutes. This is because supporters apparently tried to enter without tickets and rushed the gates.
Colombia had 57% of the ball after 35 minutes, compared to 57% for Argentina. With 15 titles, Argentina, the reigning champion, is presently tied for the most victories in the competition. Tonight, they hold the opportunity to shatter the record and go one ahead of Uruguay in the leaderboard. Colombia only took home the championship once, in 2001 and this is their first final since.
