If Santiago Giménez or Henry Martín stay out of the World Cup, it would be one of the greatest injustices in recent years at the level of national teams.

Santiago Giménez left Liga MX in J5 and still has one more goal than Rogelio Funes Mori here… the difference is that after that Santi is triumphing in Europe (top scorer in the Europa League) and FM is injured , but Tata Martino prefers his nephew.

Santiago Giménez and Henry Martín the forwards of the World Cup, the third place that the others fight for. A tremendous madness if it does not happen like this.
