Canada will look for their highest international finish since winning the 2000 Concacaf Gold Cup championship when they take on Uruguay in the third-place match of 2024 Copa America. The Canadians are coming off a 2-0 loss to Argentina in Tuesday’s semifinals, while Uruguay lost a 1-0 nail-biter to Colombia on Wednesday. Canada, which lost twice to Argentina in the tournament, won or played to a draw in the three other matches.

Why you should back Uruguay
Midfielder Maximiliano Araujo has put forth a stellar performance so far in Copa America. During group stage play, he got things going against Panama on June 23, scoring the match’s first goal as Uruguay rolled to a 3-1 triumph. He also connected on a goal four days later in a 5-0 victory over Bolivia. Since joining the team last year, he has already recorded three goals in 13 appearances. He plays professionally in Mexico for Toluca, scoring nine goals in 53 matches over the past two years.
Another scoring threat is forward Darwin Nunez. He is expected to play Saturday, although he could face future suspension after climbing into the stands to fight fans after the loss to Colombia. He has registered a pair of goals during Copa America. During group stage play, he scored Uruguay’s second goal in a 3-1 win over Panama. He then added a goal in a 5-0 win over Bolivia four days later. The 25-year-old has played in 28 matches for Uruguay since joining the team in 2019, and has scored 13 goals.
