The Copa America 2024 quarter-finals kick off Thursday with defending champions Argentina taking on Ecuador.
Argentina easily topped Group A with three victories and are expected to challenge for the trophy once again. They were able to rest Lionel Messi in the final group stage game but questions persist about injury concerns for the 37-year-old superstar, who would obviously be a huge absence should he not be able to play.
As for the Ecuadorians, they edged past Mexico to claim second place in Group B, as both teams finished on four points but the South American nation earned a better goal difference over the three group stage matches. Their reward is a knockout stage meeting with the World Cup champions, whom they haven't defeated since 2015.
