The Burkina Faso national team 🇧🇫 is still stuck in Morocco and has not yet joined Argentina 🇦🇷 while the match is scheduled for this weekend... On two occasions in recent days, the players were ready to leave the hotel with their luggage, but there has always been an issue related to the flight. As was the case against Mauritania last March, the Argentine Federation has hired a company (Eurodata Sport Ltd) managed by Jairo Pachon, a FIFA match agent, to handle the matches - the AFA paying the costs and travel but not giving any participation bonus or a share of the revenue generated by the match to its opponent. The proposed travel conditions are simple: a commercial flight (the cheapest possible). However, Mauritania had refused given the number of travel hours and had taken a private flight at its own expense.

I would have been really happy if Ljubicic had taken Cahill's place. On paper, he was (is, always will be) the perfect fit. In terms of mentality, rationality, and the way he reads tennis, he has always spoken a language very similar to that of Sinner. But this was precisely what did not persuade me completely. In my mind, therefore it counts for zero, I would like a gram of chaos within the order, to explore all the margin that Jannik still has. In my opinion, it is bigger than one might think. Good luck to Felix, he made a great move! (translated)
