In the exciting build-up to the 2024 Copa America, Canada has announced their roster, with key players like Kyle Hiebert and Jacen Russell-Rowe making headlines. Jesse Marsch, the Canadian coach, sprung surprises by including late call-ups Ali Ahmed, Tani Oluwaseyi, and Russell-Rowe in the squad. The anticipation is high as Canada prepares to face Argentina, the reigning FIFA World Cup and CONMEBOL Copa America champions, in a debut match.

Meanwhile, in a shocking turn of events, Brazilian legend Ronaldinho has publicly criticized the current Brazil squad selected for the Copa America. Ronaldinho expressed disappointment in the team's performance and stated that he will not support or watch Brazil play in the tournament. His remarks have caused a stir in the football community, with fans eagerly awaiting Brazil's response to the criticism.

On the Canadian front, Coach Marsch faced tough decisions, leaving out prominent players like Dominick Zator, Charles-Andreas Brym, and Iké Ugbo from the final roster. As the Canadian team gears up for their first Copa America appearance, Marsch and the players are determined to make a mark and showcase their talent on an international stage.

As the Copa America 2024 draws near, all eyes are on Canada and Brazil for different reasons. Canada's unexpected inclusions and Brazil's internal critiques have set the stage for a thrilling tournament. Whether Canada can prove themselves against the likes of Argentina and how Brazil responds to Ronaldinho's criticisms remain pivotal storylines to watch in the upcoming Copa America.
