Canadian rapper Drake recently made headlines with a bold online wager that Canada could upset World Cup winners Argentina at the Copa America. Known for his penchant for betting, especially on Canadian sports teams, the 37-year-old rapper has never shied away from making daring bets.

In the semifinal matchup between Canada and Argentina, the Toronto native placed a hefty $300,000 bet on Jesse Marsch’s side, despite Canada having suffered a 2-0 defeat to Argentina in their opening Copa America match.

Argentina, who is having a disappointing tournament has been reliant on individual brilliance, and have seen Lionel Messi powering through despite a hamstring injury. Conversely, Canada, with only two goals scored in the competition, reached the semifinals by upsetting Venezuela in a penalty shootout. A potential victory over Argentina to reach the Copa America final would undoubtedly mark the greatest achievement in Canadian soccer history.
