&lt;p&gt;The Copa America 2024 passes to the quarter-finals after &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/altro/the-curtain-rises-on-the-2024-copa-america-710890b&#34;&gt;an entertaining group stage&lt;/a&gt; full of surprises, starting with the hosts, the USA, being eliminated and Venezuela’s three wins in all three Group B games. It all went as planned for Scaloni’s Argentina who were spurred on by an unstoppable &lt;strong&gt;Lautaro Martinez&lt;/strong&gt;. On the other hand, Brazil had some issues and finished second in their group.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many Serie A players have been involved with &lt;strong&gt;6 goals&lt;/strong&gt; being scored by players from our league at this stage. With the quarter-finals at our door and the competition reduced to 8 sides, there are still &lt;strong&gt;13 adopted Italians &lt;/strong&gt;in the tournament.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GROUP A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Argentina&lt;/strong&gt; didn’t disappoint and were the first team to qualify for the quarter-finals, winning their group with the maximum points tally, helped out by &lt;strong&gt;Lautaro Martinez&lt;/strong&gt;’s goals, current &lt;strong&gt;top goalscorer&lt;/strong&gt; at the competition with 4 goals. El Toro doubled the Albiceleste lead in his debut at the end of the game against Canada and he scored the decisive goal against Chile moments before the final whistle, once again coming off the bench. Qualification was secured against Peru, Martinez started the game and bagged a &lt;strong&gt;brace&lt;/strong&gt;, thus scoring in every group game for an incredible average of a goal once every 40 minutes. Also called into action by Head Coach Scaloni were &lt;strong&gt;Paredes&lt;/strong&gt; who started two of the three games, missing a penalty against Peru; &lt;strong&gt;Nico Gonzalez&lt;/strong&gt; started against Chile and came on against Peru; and ex-Monza player &lt;strong&gt;Valentin Carboni&lt;/strong&gt; played 13 minutes of the last game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;78829ed1-8adf-473f-8b64-4a8c1c9df397&#34; data-image-id=&#34;78829ed1-8adf-473f-8b64-4a8c1c9df397&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c760d94d-42e2-4965-a20b-472519f5501c/Sito_HERO_argentina.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;78829ed1-8adf-473f-8b64-4a8c1c9df397&#34; data-image-id=&#34;78829ed1-8adf-473f-8b64-4a8c1c9df397&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peru went out having only won 2 points, &lt;strong&gt;Lapadula&lt;/strong&gt; walks away goalless despite starting two games and coming off the bench against Argentina for the last 30 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Canada&lt;/strong&gt; go through to the next round after their defeat to the reigning champions in the opening game but beating the Blanquirroja and securing qualification against Chile. &lt;strong&gt;Buchanan&lt;/strong&gt; (Inter) started the first game and came on as a substitute in the next two. The Copa America campaign ends here for Chile and Sanchez.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GROUP B&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two Serie A defenders shone in Group B, both of them playing all 270 minutes of the group stage but meeting very different endings with their respective sides. To everyone’s surprise, &lt;strong&gt;Venezuela&lt;/strong&gt; won all three of their games and finished top of the group with &lt;strong&gt;Osorio&lt;/strong&gt; (Parma) in action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;aa17fc8f-4b2d-421f-8e81-2725ec3c788d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;aa17fc8f-4b2d-421f-8e81-2725ec3c788d&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/a8980b05-c0f8-4065-80e6-419aae93b3fe/Sito_HERO_osorio.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;aa17fc8f-4b2d-421f-8e81-2725ec3c788d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;aa17fc8f-4b2d-421f-8e81-2725ec3c788d&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mexico and Vásquez (Genoa)&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;failed to meet their goals and were eliminated by &lt;strong&gt;Ecuador&lt;/strong&gt;, finishing on an equal points tally but with a worse goal difference thanks to the 3-1 against Jamaica who finish last with 0 points.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GROUP C&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another National team dominated in Group C with “El Loco” Bielsa’s &lt;strong&gt;Uruguay&lt;/strong&gt; securing qualification with 9 points, 9 goals scored and only 1 conceded. Former Cagliari player, &lt;strong&gt;Nandez&lt;/strong&gt;, started at right-back and Olivera (Napoli) played in the middle of a back four, &lt;strong&gt;scoring a tap-in&lt;/strong&gt; against the USA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;5b443da6-7fda-43a1-be65-95ad7704e264&#34; data-image-id=&#34;5b443da6-7fda-43a1-be65-95ad7704e264&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/66c41c93-f174-4676-af49-d982285e3465/Sito_HERO_olivera.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;5b443da6-7fda-43a1-be65-95ad7704e264&#34; data-image-id=&#34;5b443da6-7fda-43a1-be65-95ad7704e264&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The host nation’s campaign came to a disappointing end as the &lt;strong&gt;USA&lt;/strong&gt; missed out on qualification with defeats to Panama and Uruguay. The golazo from &lt;strong&gt;Pulisic&lt;/strong&gt; (Milan) in the opening game against Bolivia – with an assist from Weah – gave the side false hope as their campaign was complicated by Juventus player &lt;strong&gt;Weah’s red card&lt;/strong&gt; against Panama, leading to an unexpected defeat. The American dream officially came to an end against Uruguay and the team with McKennie, starting every game, and Musah, only on the bench against Panama, leave the competition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;9a39e67a-15ff-4903-b766-a4ae1e645722&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9a39e67a-15ff-4903-b766-a4ae1e645722&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/80e9dfb7-ff2d-45d0-83cc-16d3406259d0/Sito_HERO_usa.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;9a39e67a-15ff-4903-b766-a4ae1e645722&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9a39e67a-15ff-4903-b766-a4ae1e645722&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GROUP D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Group D gave us a surprise with &lt;strong&gt;Brazil&lt;/strong&gt; finishing second in the group, unable to bag a winner in the 1-1 draw with Colombia in the final game. The Seleção started badly with a goalless draw against Costa Rica and only secured qualification with their 4-1 win over Paraguay. Head Coach Dorival Júnior&amp;nbsp;couldn’t leave out &lt;strong&gt;Danilo&lt;/strong&gt; (Juventus), captain and cornerstone of the side who played at right-back, whilst other Bianconeri player, Bremer, was never called into action: new Juventus arrival &lt;strong&gt;Douglas Luiz&lt;/strong&gt;, on the other hand, came off the bench in the second and third games. &lt;strong&gt;Ederson&lt;/strong&gt; (Atalanta) also made his Copa America debut at the end of the match against Colombia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;804f0034-6baf-4369-beac-f0d942f99bff&#34; data-image-id=&#34;804f0034-6baf-4369-beac-f0d942f99bff&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/9520265b-120d-4267-b965-f024a90445b2/Sito_HERO_brasile.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;804f0034-6baf-4369-beac-f0d942f99bff&#34; data-image-id=&#34;804f0034-6baf-4369-beac-f0d942f99bff&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Making the most of the Brazilian misstep was Néstor&amp;nbsp;Lorenzo’s Colombia, top of the group standings on 7 points. Amongst the Cafeteros, &lt;strong&gt;Lucumì&lt;/strong&gt; (Bologna) started against Paraguay but picked up an injury after only 26 minutes, being replaced by Cagliari man &lt;strong&gt;Yerry Mina&lt;/strong&gt;. It was both of the players’ only appearance at the tournament.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quarter-final fixtures (all times in CEST):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;5 July, 03:00, Argentina vs. Ecuador&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;6 July, 03:00, Venezuela vs. Canada&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;7 July, 00:00, Colombia vs. Panama&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;7 July, 03:00, Uruguay vs. Brazil&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
