As has become customary, Argentina once again eliminated Mexico in an international competition. This time, the Albiceleste U-20 defeated La Tri 2-0, thanks to goals from Carrizo and Silvetti, reaffirming once again a dominance that has lasted for years.
After the match, one of the most anticipated reactions was that of Mike Máquina del Mal, a controversial Mexican influencer, who had been extremely confident beforehand with phrases like "Today we're going to spank them" or "Today we're taking everything from them". Mike streamed his reaction live with a couple of friends, and, once again, he suffered Mexico's elimination at the hands of Argentina.
At the end of the match, Mike posted a video expressing his anger and disappointment: "It's impressive that every time you play against Argentina, the result is the same. They always beat us, they always humiliate us".
"Today was supposed to be the day, today was supposed to be when we got rid of the ghosts... A team that had been playing well in the U-20 and the result is the same, we lose again. Since 2004, we haven't beaten these guys at anything. I'm fed up".
With this victory, the Albiceleste continues its steady path toward the final, reaffirming its historical dominance over Mexico and consolidating a project that aims to win the world title in this category.
