The Argentine National Team returns to compete after obtaining the Copa América in Brazil, but this time in the return of the South American Qualifiers.
On this occasion, as a result of a rescheduling promoted by Conmebol, three dates will be played: the two corresponding to the month of September and one of the postponed that should have been played in March when the continent was going through a wave of coronavirus cases, with closed borders.
La Albiceleste has its first game this Thursday 2 against Venezuela, in Caracas, starting at 9 pm and with transmission by TyC Sports and Public TV.
In a day of pure South American football, the other highlight of the day seems to be the duel between Chile and Brazil, at 10 p.m., on TyC Sports 2.

Also at 10 pm Peru and Uruguay will collide, which would go on the DeporTV screen.
This is being resolved at the last minute, according to the specialized site Tribuna Deportiva: it is that Public TV could take over the transmission once the Argentina match ends, when Peruvians and Charrúa are playing the second half.
Rare.
But pay attention because in the afternoon Bolivia and Colombia will play, at 5:00 p.m. and on Public TV.
And an hour later, at 18, the match between Ecuador and Paraguay will begin on TyC Sports.
Total Soccer Sunday
In a weekend full of emotions, with the Argentine Professional League championship that does not stop despite the Qualifiers, Sunday will be the turn of the postponed clash in March between
Brazil
and
Argentina
, in São Paulo.
A duel that feels like a rematch after the consecration of Messi and company at the Maracana.
The classic starts at 4 p.m.
and, as always, it will be broadcast in duplicate, both on Public TV and on TyC Sports.
But the football continues throughout Sunday ...
Sunday 9 will be the reunion between Messi and Neymar playing the South American classic.

At 13.30 the Board of Trustees plays against the Talleres leader;
at 19, Racing receives Banfield and at 21.15 it will be the turn of the classic between River and Independiente.
The remote control?
On fire, yes.
End of party

and almost simultaneously
.
From 7:30 p.m.,
Uruguay

And here an asterisk because it remains to know how the channel will organize its grid since at 8:30 p.m. it will be
Argentina's
turn to
receive
Bolivia
at the Monumental, a match that will have as a condiment the return of the public to the fields.
The alternatives of that night full of emotion and expectation will also go through TyC Sports, with a good preview in which
a tribute to the champions of America is announced

The leader is Brazil
Regarding the positions of the
South American Qualifiers
, it is worth remembering that the comfortable leader in the table is Brazil, with a perfect score of 18 units in 6 games.
Argentina follows, with 12
;
Ecuador, with 9;
Uruguay and Colombia, with 8;
Paraguay, with 7;
Chile, with 6;
Bolivia, with 5 and at the bottom of the table are Venezuela and Peru, with 4. Will they remain this way?
