Canada seek Copa América upset vs. Argentina: “We believe”

The emanating pride for Canadian soccer is new, especially for their 14 Copa América players currently in MLS. For Crépeau, in particular, it’s a full-circle moment.

When he put pen to paper as a young 18-year-old goalkeeper prospect with CF Montréal, Marsch was in the room as the club’s head coach.

“I remember we talked about his professional career and what we hoped he could become,” Marsch recalled with OneSoccer. “Now, getting to know him again, when he’s 30 years old, it's almost like a lifetime ago. I’m impressed with the man he's become, the husband, the father, and the team leader.”

Crépeau, who could be in the running for the tournament’s Golden Glove award, has an easily relatable journey to many of the players who have come through MLS and built up to this moment.

For Davies, a former Vancouver Whitecap, it’s about taking on the captaincy and a defined role at left back, knowing he doesn’t have to freeflow and tackle every task himself. For Shaffelburg, it’s about growing into a new team, and for Derek Cornelius, alongside Bombito, taking on the weight of facing world-class attackers as go-to center backs.

With millions watching from home and thousands of Canadians expected in the stands at MetLife Stadium, MLS stars and the rest of Les Rouges get set for arguably the CanMNT's biggest-ever match.

They’ve got every belief they can come out on top, despite the challenge posed by Inter Miami CF's Messi and La Albiceleste.

“We’re a completely different team than we were 20 days ago; it’s going to be a different match,” said Toronto FC fullback Richie Laryea. “We didn’t come here just to make a semifinal against Argentina and wash our hands and be like, ‘that’s good enough.’ This is a game we think we can win.

" … We want to win [Copa América], as bold or as crazy as that might sound.”
