Another year, another final for Lionel Messi and Argentina.

They made it to the championship match at the 2014 World Cup — and lost 1-0 in extra time to Germany. They made it to the 2015 Copa America final — and lost on penalty kicks after a 0-0 draw against Chile. Two games, and no goals for Messi, or any of his teammates.

Now with a special Centennial Copa America celebrating the 100th anniversary of South America's championship, La Albiceleste get a rematch against Chile on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, seeking their first major title in 23 years.
