Another game without defeat for the Argentine team.
The team led by Lionel Scaloni managed to stretch their unbeaten record by beating Jamaica 3-0 at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey and deepened their impressive unbeaten record to 35 games.
You have to go back to July 2, 2019, to find the last loss of La Scaloneta, which was in that 2-0 against Brazil in the Copa America that year.
Precisely, an Azzurra record is the next big goal: Roberto Mancini's team went 37 games without losing between October 10, 2018, and October 7, 2021, when they lost 2-1 to Spain in the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League.
With its 30 wins and seven draws, 93 goals scored, and only 12 conceded, Italy surpassed the records of 35 games belonging to Spain and Brazil.
The first national team to reach that number of games without falling was the Seleçao, which began its triumphant path in 1993 and did not record setbacks until 1996. Hence, its unbeaten record even allowed them to be champions in the 1994 World Cup in the United States. For its part, La Roja achieved it between 2007 and 2009, when they won Euro 2008.
In this way, Argentina looks forward to facing a handful of commitments that could rewrite history. First, Lionel Messi's team is scheduled for the final test against the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi on November 16, a week before the debut in the excellent football festival. Will it account for official history?
Then, he is guaranteed three more matches with his participation in the group stage at the next World Cup. Should they obtain positive results in the group stage against Saudi Arabia (November 22), Mexico (November 26), and Poland (November 30) – their streak would become the longest in history for a national team.
