The group stage of Copa America Centenario concludes tonight. Sitting at the top of Group D with six points, Argentina have already advanced to the group stage. Lionel Messi is healthy, and he proved it by scoring a 20-minute hat trick in a substitute appearance against Panama. Their +6 goal differential has all but wrapped up the group for them.
Behind Argentina, tied on three points, are Chile and Panama, who happen to be playing each other in their final group match. The winner of this match goes through to the knockout stage. Chile has the goal differential advantage, so only a loss to Panama would knock them out. Panama comes in knowing they have to win to go on. It's a de facto elimination game, and we get it before the actual elimination games begin.
Despite Argentina's qualification, there are still questions to ask about their match with Bolivia. Will Lionel Messi start? Will Angel di Maria rest his adductor injury? Can Bolivia muster their first point of the tournament? How do I watch all of this unfold? I don't know the answers to the first three questions, but on the last one I've got you covered.
