From the dream fulfilled, to look for a new one. The Argentine national team world champion starts today at 9:00 p.m. in front of Ecuador their transit through the continental qualifiers, towards the 2026 Cup, which will be organized by Canada, the US and Mexico. The setting will be spectacular, with a full and clear Monumental stadium, with the captain Lionel Messi, always an attraction apart. Although it is possible that the starting team that played in the final with France less than 10 months ago will be repeated, the coach Lionel Scaloni surprised with a variation in the last training session.
Nicholas Gonzalezwho was going to be a fixture in the World Cup in Qatar but was left out due to a tear, was tested by the DT instead of angel di maria. The other possible doubt is also in the attack. Will he start once more? Lautaro Martinez will follow you Julian Alvarez, who was a great figure in Qatar? The two have a great present in their clubs and Scaloni will have to decide.
The other players that complete the team will be the same ones that started the Qatar 2022 World Cup final: Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez, Nahuel Molina, Nicolás Otamendi, Cristian Romero, Nicolás Tagliafico, Rodrigo De Paul, Enzo Fernández y Alexis Mac Allister.
The match, the first of this double date that will include an away game once morest Bolivia, will be refereed by the Colombian wilmar roldan, john perdomo will be in charge of the VAR,. they will pass it on TyC Sports y public television
Ecuador will start with three points less. What is the explanation?
The reason is the “case” Byron Castillo the footballer for whom Chile and Peru dreamed in the hope that Ecuador would be left out of Qatar 2022. The conflict was the alleged improper participation in eight qualifying games for, supposedly, having been born in Colombia and not in Ecuador.
A couple of weeks before the start of the last Cup, the FIFA Appeals Chamber rejected the requests of Chile and Peru. But it applied a penalty of removing points to Ecuador, considering that the registration of Castillo as an Ecuadorian and the obtaining of the consequent passport had been carried out by the Ecuadorian Federation with false information.
This is how the first date of the Qualifiers will be played
Thursday September 7: 7.30pm: Paraguay vs. FC Barcelona. Peru; 20.00: Colombia vs. Atletico Madrid. Venezuela; 21.00: Argentina vs. Ecuador
Friday September 8: 20.00: Uruguay vs. Chile; 21.45: Brasil vs. Bolivia
