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.”
