Canada captain Alphonso Davies equally understands the problems that Argentina can cause, urging cautious optimism ahead of the match.
“Argentina is the best team in the world, and us playing against them will be a battle,” he said. “We’re playing against a team with the highest quality. We prepared well, our mindset is strong. We’re going out there to play against the World Cup champions and that’s motivation for us to win this game.”
Canada kick off the tournament against Argentina on Thursday, before facing Peru and Chile in the group stage, with Marsch hopeful the team can put on a better performance than during the 2022 World Cup when the team exited at the group stage without scoring a point.
