China cancels Argentina national team friendly match. Football star Lionel Messi was a guest in Hong Kong with Inter Miami, but only sat on the bench during the game.

Organizers in China have now canceled an Argentina game scheduled for March – “for known reasons”. Around 38,000 fans came from as far away as Australia to see the Argentine play. But the 36-year-old, like former FC Barcelona striker Luis Suárez, sat for 90 minutes in the Americans' 4-1 win.
