A make-or-break game awaits for Argentina at the 2022 FIFA World Cup when they face Mexico on Saturday, November 26.
Tipped to be title contenders at the tournament, Lionel Messi’s side suffered a shock 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia in their opening game earlier this week.
With Mexico holding Poland to a 0-0 draw in the other Group C clash, Argentina now find themselves bottom of the section and need nothing less than three points in this match.
Can Messi keep his World Cup dream alive or will Mexico turn Argentina’s Qatar campaign into another nightmare?
Below are all the details to follow the Mexico vs. Argentina match, including the kickoff time for fans around the world.

Group C scenarios
Argentina need nothing less than a win to keep their World Cup campaign firmly alive. Another loss would all but end their hopes of progressing to the knockout stages.
If Mexico were to win, they could go top of Group C depending on how the earlier game between Saudi Arabia and Poland played. A loss though could well seem drop to the bottom of the section.
This really is a make-or-break game for both sides.
