The announcement of the Argentina vs. Mexico match has not gone down very well with the fans of the Albiceleste, who have begun to underestimate the Aztec team's match, considering it to be of a lower level than the Mexican team and a risk for the Argentine players, especially for Lionel Messi.

The announcement made by Claudio "Chiquito" Tapia regarding the FIFA date agenda on the eve of the start of the World Cup that will be held for the first time in three countries Mexico, the United States and Canada, instead of generating a positive attitude among the majority of Argentina fans, have begun to mock the benefits and disadvantages of facing the Mexican team, which they describe as the son of their national representative.

In this way, social networks have been saturated with mocking and ironic comments about the true benefits for Argentina of facing Mexico when the dominance of the Albiceleste has been total for at least the last 19 years, but especially in the World Cups of Germany 2006, South Africa 2010 and Qatar 2022, as well as in the Copa America of 1993 (final 2-1) and Venezuela 2007 with a score of 3-0 in the semifinals.

Even the recommendation from Argentine fans for Lionel Messi to not play said match has gone viral, as there is a risk that the Mexicans could injure their star and he would miss the World Cup, which would mark his retirement from these World Cups.

The mockery has even gone so far as to consider Mexico as second-tier for the simple fact that they have not been able to beat them in important matches, still remembering Maxi Rodriguez's great goal in the 2006 World Cup or later the performance of Messi, Tevez and Higuain in 2010, without forgetting the 2-0 in the last World Cup where even the Argentine coach of Mexico Gerardo "Tata" Martino was accused of having given away the match due to his tactical approach.

The truth is that in Argentina’s planning to face Mexico is important in their plans and along with Honduras, they are the confirmed duels in the dates prior to the World Cup that should serve as a prelude to the debut of both teams in this international competition.

The provocations and mockery of the Argentine fans

For now, among the comments of contempt, mockery and warnings to Messi about facing Mexico, some could be listed, but most are redundant, making less of the Tricolor supported by the coldness of the numbers.

– There will be one or another who wants to injure Messi before the World Cup

– The Mexican penalty overs are sick

Never a rival at the height, right?

It's already boring to play against Mexico

Great Mexico, our inflatable doll

They have to put all the substitutes

The Mexican crying is coming

Look for decent national teams at least

Poor Mexico... he will arrive at the World Cup traumatized

The background

But beyond everything, Argentina has demonstrated its superiority over Mexico by eliminating them in the Round of 16 of the World Cups in Germany 2006 and South Africa 2010, and has triumphed in the Group Stage of Uruguay 1930 and Qatar 2022.
