Argentina will defend their Copa America title in the United States this summer under Lionel Messi’s leadership.
Argentina has arrived in Miami for this year’s Copa America with an unusual welcome: Sergio Aguero will be there with a bunch of goats.
At least, so the theory goes. No other Argentinean players are shown, although there are photos of the Manchester City great with some goats. Naturally, the entire situation is a publicity ploy orchestrated by the gambling website Stake.com.
The whole thing is a play on the word “GOAT,” which stands for “Greatest Of All Time.” The stake was smart to say “one of the” before Aguero’s name because he played with the better Lionel Messi.
Aguero said, “I played with the GOAT, and it was great to spend the day with more players like him!” Argentina has the chance to become known as one of the best teams of all time if they win the Copa America.
Argentina seeks to hold onto the 2021 Copa America championship. Argentina’s first victory came in the final against Brazil, where Angel Di Maria scored the lone goal. They will play Canada, Chile, and Peru in the group stage for the season’s first match.
Aguero stated, “Argentina is always a candidate… but, pressure?” in reference to his nation’s prospects. I don’t think so. I believe we’re accustomed to this. It’s time to safeguard the team concept and style we developed. We won what we did because of this.
