When asked “How was soccer practice today?”, most kids’ answers usually aren’t “It was great, we scrimmaged Argentina & I fielded shots from Lionel Messi & Sergio Aguero.”

In preparation for Argentina’s opening Copa America Centenario match vs. Chile at Levi’s Stadium, the world’s top-ranked team trained at nearby San Jose State. Argentina were seeking a professional academy to train with for the week, leading into what would eventually result in a 2-1 victory over Chile at the sold-out home of the 49ers.
