He betrayed Messi, went unnoticed in Qatar and would be erased in his new country

While the Argentine team shone at the World Cup in Qatar and won the title after beating France, in the penalty shootout, a player born in the country decided to represent another team. He did not have a good time during the competition held in the Middle East and he would never be called up by his new nation again.

It is about Rogelio Funes Mori. The former River Plate striker turned his back on the country and in 2021 he obtained Mexican nationality. Despite having played from the lower categories of the Albiceleste, he thought that going to the Tri would give him more chances of standing out in the World Cup, but he was wrong.

With Gerardo Martino on the bench, the 'Twin' was part of the 26 summoned for the World Cup. However, he barely added a few minutes in the third round of the group stage, when Mexico faced Saudi Arabia. El Tri was eliminated in the first phase and Funes Mori was part of the failure of 'Tata' in the northern country.

The decision of the Mexican Federation with the player born in Argentina:

Funes Mori, who represented Argentina in the South American Sub 20, in 2011, and recorded a friendly with the senior team, would be completely erased from Tri. Regardless of the coach that arrives after Martino's departure (it is speculated that Marcelo Bielsa is in the pipeline), at 31 he would run out of space in the next process in Mexico.
