How to watch Colombia vs. Argentina in World Cup qualifying on Tuesday, June 8.
Argentina will head to Barranquilla in a highly anticipated meeting with Colombia for its last World Cup qualifier before Copa América begins.
Both nations were originally scheduled to co-host Copa América final before Colombia was stripped due to civil unrest and Argentina lost its right to host due to a COVID-19 surge. The Colombian national team will return home having broken its three-match winless streak in qualifying with a 3-0 win over Peru, thanks to goals from Yerry Mina and Porto teammates Mateus Uribe and Luis Díaz.
Argentina comes into its fifth World Cup qualifier in second place in the CONMEBOL table following its 1-1 draw with rival Chile on Thursday. La Albiceleste took the lead on an early penalty from Lionel Messi only for Alexis Sanchez to cancel out the Barcelona star's effort just 12 minutes later.
