And we have a first sack of the tournament. The Mexicans defeated the Saudi Arabian selection in the last round of the group stage at the World Cup in Qatar 2:1, but in vain… Poland passed thanks to a better goal difference, although last night they were completely powerless in the defeat against Argentina (0:2). The Sombreros had two extra goals from the 52nd minute, one more would have taken them to the round of 16, but they capitulated in stoppage time and thus ended their participation in the World Cup.Late heartbreak! Mexico lose their place in the last 16 to Poland on goal differenceAfter the match, coach Gerardo Tata Martino confirmed that he has finished his term on the bench of the Mexican national team. Rumors spread even before the match with Saudi Arabia that the experienced expert would ‘lift the anchor’ after the end of the World Cup for the Mexicans. He was also reproached for going too cautiously into the game with the Gauchos. The last dilemma has been removed. A tragic end for the Argentine expert on the bench of the Sombreros, who for the first time since the 1978 World Cup did not pass the group stage.“I am responsible for the result. My contract ended as soon as the referee blew the final whistle and there is nothing more to be done. We outplayed the opponent and created more chances and we could have scored as many goals as needed. That is why we went for the third goal and we added two center-forwards together. We knew that Poland had fewer yellows and we were going out, so it was necessary in that moment. But we failed and I don’t think we were knocked out in the previous matches, rather today. I think we should analyze this more thoroughly when we have a clear mind. This is the reality. We are in a position of fragility because we are out of the World Cup” said popular Tata just after the match. Mexico’s World Cup record of seven consecutive same-stage exits is over. 😲𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟰 R16𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟴 R16𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟮 R16𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟲 R16𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟬 R16𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟰 R16𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟴 R16𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮 Group StageDoes this count as an end to the curse? 🙃(@WrldSoccerShop)pic.twitter.com/v3RULOHfsT— Squawka (@Squawka) November 30, 2022 Former Barcelona and Argentina coach has left Mexico with a 42-12-12 record. This separation was one of those when neither party is sad. Martino reportedly expressed his desire to return to his homeland, in order to be closer to his family, and the Mexican Football Federation apparently had nothing against it. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6853952##
