Honest question - are there nations’ best players representing their countries at Copa or is it like a second tier type tourney?

It's a big deal. It means alot in south America and it is indeed a best on best tournament.
Toney was directly involved in their two goals against Slovakia he is also Supreme with his penalty kicks 37/39 is just sick.

The fifa rankings aren't great, but it's unquestionable that the usa has a greater collection of talent.
What gets obnoxious though is how the American talking heads continually prop up this as some golden generation, yet their results don't reflect anything special about them.
This is someting I noticed also. I know the US has some great players that are now playing a little all over Europe now. But together they can't find any great success.
I am excited for Tuesday, but I can't shake the impossibility it will be to win against Argentina. Games are played on the field, but this anxiety is all in my head

Its all icing on the cake since getting through the group stage.
If they beat Argentina, it would go down as not only the biggest win in Canadian soccer history (with all due respect to the 2000 gold cup winners), but also in Canadian sporting history.
Edit: before someone mentions 1972, I'm talking from an upset angle.

It's coming home
How about France?
They both suck, to be fair... Hopefully, Spain and Netherland take care of them.
