Argentina is facing a fierce competition in the soccer landscape of the Americas. The "King of Balls", Mez, was unfortunately injured and diagnosed as having a torn adductor muscle, with the same symptoms as during his visit to Hong Kong at the beginning of the year. It is reported that he needs to recuperate for 10 to 12 days. Considering the schedule of the tournament, he will undoubtedly miss the final game of the group stage against Peru. 55 goals of brilliance, America's box office has also suffered as a result.
Argentine media revealed that Mace stuck around for the full match in Chile. Although he felt uncomfortable in the first half, he did not train with the team for the past few days. Injury assessment shows that the recovery of the adductor muscle will take 10 to 12 days; since the Chilean game, he must also miss the Peru game. With the top eight matches scheduled for 10 days from now, his return to action is still unknown. If Argentina advances to the top four, he is expected to return.
Earlier this year, Mace visited Hong Kong with the International Miami team and caused quite a stir when he did not sit on the bench on race day. The match ended up on the water. At the time, the injury was announced as adductor discomfort and edema. After recovering in Japan, he fought hard in the race, and many of the accolades he received at the time were considered to be overstated. On this tour of the Americas, Mays suffered the same injury again, and 10 days of rest and recuperation seemed to be his routine.
The figure of Mace always creates a frenzy wherever it appears. Half of the venues at Hong Kong were vacant, forcing the game to move to the water. Previously, Mays was on the road in Vancouver in the AFL and received half-price support from the Vancouver Whitecaps. For the Americas trip, ticket prices were generally cut by 22%. If the eight-team tournament is absent, the Americas' ticket sales are unlikely to pick up again.
