Copa América Team of the Tournament: The Best XI from Argentina 2024
The Copa América 2024 has come to a close, with Argentina set to face Colombia in the final on Sunday. As we reflect on the tournament’s thrilling matches, goals, and individual performances, I’m excited to share my pick for the team of the tournament. Here’s the best XI that caught my eye:
Goalkeeper: Martínez (Argentina)
Argentine fans can breathe a sigh of relief with Martínez between the sticks. He boasts an impressive 90% save percentage, and his crucial saves in the quarterfinals against Ecuador and the semifinals against Canada secured Argentina’s path to the final.
Defenders: Muñoz (Colombia), Romero (Argentina), Pacho (Ecuador), and Caicedo (Ecuador)
Colombia’s Muñoz is a force to be reckoned with, displaying incredible defensive skills and scoring crucial goals. Romero’s leadership and presence in the Argentine backline are crucial to their success. Pacho’s maturity and reading of the game are undeniable, while Caicedo’s impressive tackling and interceptions make him an asset in defense.
Midfielders: Ugarte (Uruguay), Rodríguez (Colombia), and Shaffelburg (Canada)
Ugarte’s consistency and solidity in the midfield are a testament to his exceptional skill. Rodríguez, the reinvigorated star, has shown his creative and goal-scoring prowess. Shaffelburg’s grit and determination have made him a threat on the flank.
Forwards: Díaz (Colombia), Rondón (Venezuela), and James Rodríguez (Colombia)
Díaz’s flair and hard work have earned him a spot in this XI. Rondón’s aerial prowess and goalscoring ability make him a valuable asset. James Rodríguez’s incredible goal involvements (1 goal, 6 assists) are a highlight of the tournament.
This team is not just about individual talents; it’s about the chemistry and camaraderie among the players. Each of these individuals has brought something special to their respective teams, and it’s no surprise they’ve made it this far in the tournament.
