Argentina to play two African countries

Argentina will still have time to test itself ahead of the World Cup, but it’s hard to imagine a better opportunity than the now-cancelled clash with Spain national football team. Instead of facing the reigning European champions, the world champions will take on Mauritania national football team on March 27 at La Bombonera. Because the Finalissima was postponed too late—just two weeks before it was supposed to be played—both teams had limited options for replacement opponents. Spain managed quite well, arranging friendlies against Serbia national football team and Egypt national football team. Argentina, however, had far fewer choices and ultimately accepted a match against a clearly weaker opponent.AMISTOSO CONFIRMADO DE LA SELECCIÓN ARGENTINA.🇦🇷 ARGENTINA – MAURITANIA 🇲🇷 🗓️ 27 de Marzo de 2026.🏟️ La Bombonera. pic.twitter.com/r58pyCEmUE— Info Argentino (@GonzaLog84251) March 20, 2026 Mauritania currently sits 115th in the FIFA rankings, and their last win came against Togo national ..

FALSE 10: You are an embarrassment

After the first leg of the Round of 16 Champions League games (March 10/11th) the English public was shocked. None of the six clubs in the competition won in the first game! What is worse, three of them suffered heavy defeats (Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City) and one was expected to lose in the return leg anyway (Newcastle), while Arsenal and Liverpool were expected to go through. Eventually, it happened like that this week and only the Reds and the Gunners went through to the quarter-finals. Others lost their ties with a combined aggregate score 28-11! A big blow for the ‘best league in the world’, which also gets the most money for TV rights of all other Top 5 leagues. Not to mention that the wealthiest owners are in the Premier League, and that the biggest transfers happen in England every season. So, what is the problem then? Why are the clubs from the best league so awful?🚨Money spent in the last 13 seasons5- Ligue 1: 8.5 Billion4- Bundesliga: 8.6 Billion3- La Liga: 9.2 Billio..

Amorim, is that you? United refuse Cherries’ gifts and “commit suicide” instead

After a 4-4 draw at Old Trafford four months ago, last night they drew again, this time with half as many goals – 2-2.Even though both sides created chances during the opening 45 minutes, the true showdown started after the break.The Red Devils had the lead in their hands twice. First, after Bruno Fernandes converted a spot kick at the hour mark, and then, thanks to James Hill’s unfortunate own goal 11 minutes later. In the meantime, Ryan Christie briefly levelled the score.”One more year, Casemiro”, fans chanted – Man Utd boardroom don’t think soAlthough conceding from an own goal just four minutes after scoring the equalizer would dishearten many, Andoni Iraola’s men were ready to fight until the end, and were rewarded for this brave approach, as the Red Devils entered their well-known “confused phase” – usual for the days prior to Michael Carrick’s arrival.In the 80th minute, Harry Maguire reminded everyone..
