The Argentine National Team lost on Thursday against Uruguay in the Bombonera for the South American Qualifiers. It was a blow for the world champion team. Nothing serious, it’s true, but it is a message: all their rivals give – and will give – more than they have to beat Lionel Scaloni’s team.

The good news for Argentina is that they will have revenge very quickly, and against another great rival. On Tuesday, at the Maracaná, he will visit Brazil in a high-voltage duel in search of returning to victory.
The phrase and gesture that angered Rodrigo De Paul
The Argentine National Team was surpassed by Uruguay with authority. As usually happens in these classics, it was played with strong legs and a lot of back and forth on the playing field. One of the hottest moments was when Uruguayan Manuel Ugarte made an obscene gesture at Rodrigo De Paul.
That naturally bothered the Argentine midfielder. But the phrase that made him explode was the following: “Chupav…, Messi’s bottle.”
After the game, De Paul did take it easy. “For me it’s a bowl… that stays inside the court, nothing happens,” he said. “I like to talk about football and Uruguay did it better. Now we have to get up and play a good game in Brazil,” added the midfielder.
Finally, he continued: “Sometimes football is unfair. The last thing remains and we must take care of everything we achieve, win and all the respect we have earned in all this time. That is done on the field and nothing else.”
