Lionel Messi remains a doubtful starter for Argentina. Neymar under fire in Brazil

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:59:48 GMT

SAO PAULO (AP) — Lionel Messi’s involvement in a 1-0 win over Paraguay last week doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be fit for Argentina’s next game in World Cup qualifying against Peru. Messi played most of the second half against Paraguay last Thursday despite struggling with muscular pains in the weeks leading up to the game.But there’s no certainty he’ll play against Peru on Tuesday despite practicing with the squad.Meanwhile in Brazil, Neymar is under fire for his lackluster performance in a 1-1 draw against Venezuela last week that ended with some fans throwing popcorn at the Arena Pantanal in Cuiabá. He will have a tough challenge at Uruguay to show he is back in form.The next World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada is expanding to a 48-team format, meaning direct entry to the top six teams in South America. The seventh-place team will contest an intercontinental playoff for a berth.World Cup winner Argentina leads continental qualifying with 9 points, follo...

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — The second half has become a problem for the Arizona Cardinals.After surprising the NFL with their competitive play through the first three weeks of the season, the overhauled Cardinals are now struggling to stay in games after halftime, with it happening again in their 26-9 loss at the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.“Nobody’s coming to save us,” defensive end Jonathan Ledbetter said. “We know that. We got to save ourselves. We got to play football how we know how to play football.”The Cardinals (1-4) were outscored 20-0 in the third and fourth quarters. In their past three losses, at San Francisco, against Cincinnati and now at Los Angeles, they have been outscored 51-12 in the second half.This defeat was all the more frustrating because the Cardinals had played well in the first half. They ran for 103 yards to the Rams’ 5. They protected quarterback Joshua Dobbs, allowing him to distribute passes to six receivers.What they had not done was put the ball in the ...
