Argentina vs. Brazil in the World Cup qualifiers in September is set to be cancelled.
The postponed World Cup qualifying match between Argentina and Brazil which was set to take place in September will not be taking place. According to Pedro Ivo Almeida, Brazi national team coach Tite has asked CBF president Rodrigues to cancel the match.
Tite is worried about suspensions and with the match taking place in South America, he is worried about being able to find a second opponent which would be willing to travel to South America.
Lionel Scaloni and the AFA have been vocal about not wanting the match to be played. For Argentina, they are rumored to play Canada or the United States of America in September.
Initially, the match was going to be against Mexico but with both Argentina and Mexico being in the same group at the World Cup, that match will not be taking place. There is also the match against the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi in November.
Either don’t play or both teams field their B or C teams.
Hellas Verona are looking at signing Matias Retegui, Tigre striker, who is the top scorer in the league, if Giovani Simeone moves to Napoli.
Belgium club Genk have completed the signing of Matias Galarza from Argentinos. He will team up in midfield with fellow Argentine Nicolas Castro.
Canada are ruled out, i hope for USA or only weak opponents remain again. Maybe rather go to Asia and play with Japan and South Korea as Brazil did.
Canada ruled out?? Why?? This is bad preparation strategy
Canada dont want to play with us, imo dont want to risk a big lose due moral reasons before the WC.
Exequiel Zeballos tibia was fractured yesterday after an idiot defender murdered him. Boca coaches and now this…i hope a fracture not that serious nowadays.
He won’t play until February 2023.first el negro was not giving him a chance now this sad
There should be 2 friendlies atleast for the month of September. Why can’t we play Egypt or senegal before wc
The real reason is since it’s a World Cup qualifier and an official match, yellow and red cards Could lead to suspensions in the World Cup. Not worth the risk.
good point..
18 yr old Velez winger Julian Fernandez scored again today against Talleres in copa liberators who also scored in first leg. Villarreal interested in him…
It should have been a done deal a month or so after the Brazilians cowardly stopped the game after it had already started when they could have stopped it days before when FIFA and CONMEBOL both sanctioned the game and awarded ARG with the 3 points.
Tite is scared shitless to get beat a few months before the WC, otherwise they would have openly welcomed the game. The Brazilians are dirty and playing them might risk the health of some players, especially Messi
Good news for both teams. No need to play in high tension. Be prepare for the WC. As WCQ have passed over. Yesterday was a a burden, put it down
Only one match in September? Why?
As I understand 2 friendlies in September and 1 friendly on November 16th vs UAE.
I’m reading November 13th is deadline day for WC squad announcement, meaning September friendlies are extra important to sort out remaining question marks
