Argentine fans wearing white and sky blue flooded the streets of Times Square on Monday afternoon – dancing, jumping and signing “Soy Argentino, Es un sentimiento, Que no puedo parar. (I am Argentine. It’s a feeling that I cannot stop).”
About 20 miles away at the Hilton Short Hills on Monday night, fans parked at a nearby mall and waited for hours to see Messi and several of his teammates, before staff members served two large sheets of dulce de leche cake, an Argentine favorite.

Argentina wins Copa América opener, while Chile plays to draw
Messi waited until the 88th minute to leave his mark in the Copa América 2024 opener. He delivered an assist to Lautaro Martinez, while Julián Álvarez scored shortly after halftime to help Argentina beat Canada 2-0 last Thursday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
Chile and Peru played to a scoreless draw last Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Argentina and Chile have won three of the last five Copa América tournaments.
Argentina’s win came in 2011, setting the stage for its 2022 World Cup title run.
But Argentina endured losses to Chile at the Copa América finals in 2015 and 2016 – the latter causing Messi to briefly retire from the national team.
