Argentina–Mexico football rivalry
Sports rivalry / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Argentina–Mexico football rivalry is a sports rivalry that exists between the national football teams of the two countries.[2][3][4][5] Although the rivalry is not a very competitive one with Argentina holding 16 victories, 12 draws and only 4 losses in 32 meetings, the game draws a lot of attention from the media in Mexico. In fact, this rivalry is more keenly felt by Mexican supporters than Argentines, with the latter viewing Brazil, England, Uruguay and Germany as bigger rivals. A majority of Argentines do not consider Mexico as rivals. Argentina has not lost to Mexico since 2004, with the last 4 meetings being shutout victories. Mexico has not scored against Argentina since 2015 in a friendly.[6]
