A fictional series on Disney+ Hotstar brings to the screen one of Argentine soccer fans' worst nightmares: their national team being disqualified from the World Cup.

In Robo Mundial (Stolen World Cup), Lucho Buenaventura invests all his savings to travel to the World Cup with his 11-year-old son, who recently lost his mother, only to see Argentina shockingly eliminated during a qualifier match with Brazil - and replaced with Chile's team.
