On that day, no information regarding ticket sales was available until 25 minutes after the ticket sales started on that site. Even the audience was buying tickets for 40 minutes with ease. After 55 minutes at 6:55 many visitors said that they are not getting tickets. Because the ticket seems to have expired by then. Although nothing has been officially announced from the site. After that, visitors could enter the site even at 7:50. But tickets were not available. After a while, the audience started expressing their displeasure over not getting tickets on social media.
Meanwhile, Argentina announced a 32-member team last night ahead of the match against Ecuador and Bolivia. Paulo Dybala and goalkeeper Jeronimo Rui did not have a place in this team announced under the leadership of Messi due to injuries. In addition, Tottenham midfielder Giovanni Lo Celso and Marseille forward Joaquin Correa did not get a call. However, goalkeepers Franco Armani and Anhel Correa return among those not in the final squad. Besides, some of the under-23 team have been called in this World Cup qualifying team. Among them is Alan Velasco, a 21-year-old midfielder who plays in Dallas, USA.
Lionel Scaloni, the coach of Argentina, said, "What is coming ahead, is very difficult." Beginnings are always difficult. Hopefully the players will be fit and the fans will enjoy the team's performance. We will go down to fight. We always like to fight.
