In a rematch of last year’s final,we see penalties once more,as the Argentines get revenge after a 4-1 loss. Messi finally gets to kiss the trophy,as the US reach an all-time high in the Copa.Messi finishes as top scorer,narrowly ahead of the USA’s Clint Dempsey and Brazil’s Phillipe Coutinho.America’s Brad Guzan is top keeper,and USA’s Christian Pulisic is the best young player.
