Where: NRG Stadium, Houston, TX
Watch: FS1, Univision (TV); Fox Sports Go, Fox Soccer 2Go, UDN App (Streaming)
How the US Got Here: 0-2 L, 4-0 W, 1-0 W, 2-1 W
Lost to Colombia in the opener before routing Costa Rica and narrowly beating Paraguay and Ecuador. The US have made expectations but will be missing some star players due to cards. They do have a ton of depth, though.
How Argentina Got Here: 2-1 W, 5-0 W, 3-0 W, 4-1 W
Easily beat all their opponents, Chile, Panama, Bolivia, and Venezuela, and look to be the clear favorite to win the tournament. Lionel Messi or not, this team is for real and is scary good.
Prediction: 2-0 Argentina: Argentina is too good to lose to a North American team. Sure, the US have met expectations and even surprised many, and Mexico had a 22 game unbeaten streak, but Argentina has more depth, more talent, and Lionel Messi. They will win, but the deficit will be closer than you expect.
