{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}FOX Sports soccer journalist Doug McIntyre noted that the favorite Argentina faces a tough test ahead as it prepares for "a third consecutive major tournament final."
And regarding underdog Colombia, FOX Sports soccer analyst Alexi Lalas noted that it is the "strongest" team physically.
"I think that this Colombia team is awesome in a number of different ways," Lalas said on a recent "SOTU" episode. "This team has personality. And I think this team — from a practical perspective — is the fittest team at the tournament."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Doug McIntyre's prediction for tournament winner (pre-tournament pick)
"It won’t be easy for Argentina to repeat Spain’s feat from earlier this century and sandwich its World Cup win between a pair of continental crowns. But the Albiceleste is more than capable of doing so, even though Lionel Messi turns 37 four days after his country kicks off the 16-team event, and despite the stiff challenge they could face from a Uruguay team that recently handed Messi & Co. their first loss since becoming world champs.
"Another reason Argentina is the prohibitive favorite? Brazil, which Argentina beat to win the Copa América in 2021, is in dreadful form with USA 2024 now less than six months away."
