Argentina and a victory ahead of the World Cup, Varsky's chronicle 6:23
(CNN Spanish):
There are just a few days left before the start of the long-awaited World Cup in Qatar 2022, and the teams refine details and seek the latest set-up for the competition.
Within this framework, an important day of friendlies will take place this Wednesday and Thursday, the last ones for the majority, and will have Argentina and Mexico as protagonists.
The South American national team, which, led by Lionel Messi, seeks to once again lift the highest trophy in world football after almost 40 years, thrashed the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi 5-0 (with goals from Messi, Julián Álvarez, Joaquín Correa and two by Ángel Di María).
The team led by Lionel Scaloni had its 26 footballers available to face a team that, in style, is quite similar to Saudi Arabia, the rival of the debut in Group C of the World Cup next Tuesday, November 22.

Another who had action was Mexico, who is also part of Group C. The team led by Argentine Gerardo "Tata" Martino fell 2-1 against Sweden in a match that was played in the city of Gerona, Spain.
More doubts for "Tri" before his debut.
