After Canada’s shock defeat to Jamaica last November, Canada’s interim head coach chose a Canadian squad for Saturday’s Copa América playoff against Trinidad and Tobago without many of the veteran players who led the country to the 2022 World Cup. TSN s Matthew Scianitti has more.
Speaking ahead of today's match, Kamal Miller wasn't trying to look past Trinidad and Tobago, but he did have a conversation with a certain former teammate about possibly playing against him in Copa America: "I actually spoke to (Lionel Messi) about possibly winning this game and playing against each other in Atlanta. He just laughed and said, 'It would be an amazing honour.' "Obviously, we put Canada on the map in Qatar. So, they know all about our team. And it's just going to be an exciting game. And the return to play against him will be special." The winner of today's match will enter Group A in this summer's tournament alongside Argentina, Peru and Chile.
Julian Gressel prepared for life at Inter Miami like any new Lionel Messi teammate would. First, he went for a run. Next, he binged old Barcelona highlights on YouTube. Then he sorted through a move to South Florida in January, as Inter's second offseason signing. And before long, he bought a subscription to Babbel, the language-learning software.
