Match Preview

Prior to the start of the Copa America, United States coach Juergen Klinsmann had set the semifinals as a target but will now need a new goal as the hosts prepare to take on top-ranked Argentina for spot in the final.

After an opening 2-0 loss to Colombia a last-four appearance seemed a lofty objective but Klinsmann's squad responded with wins against Costa Rica, Paraguay and Ecuador to set up a clash against the South American giants in Houston.

The United States will enjoy home-field advantage on Tuesday but that is likely to be the only thing in their favour as they take on the world's top-ranked team led by the world's best player in Lionel Messi. "This is a special moment. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity," Klinsmann said in a report on the US. Soccer website. "You got into the semi-final, you made yourself proud, now go for more." Reaching the Copa final would be the greatest achievement of Klinsmann's five-year tenure with the United States and quiet speculation about his future with the team. Argentina, world champions in 1978 and 1986, will be determined to return home with the Copa silverware for the first time since 1993.

Certainly all the pressure will be on Argentina, who are the only team in the tournament to win all four of their matches, including a ruthless 4-1 quarter-final win against Venezuela. If the US. are to have any chance of reaching the June 26th final they will have to find a way of containing Messi, who is one goal shy of becoming Argentina's all-time top scorer. Messi, who turns 29 on Friday, has a trophy case packed with individual and club honours but the Barcelona man is still seeking his first international trophy in Argentine colours.
