As they join their respective nations’ teams during the international break, Fire defender Miguel Angel Navarro and midfielder Gaston Gimenez have the chance to make history both personally and for the club. Navarro can make his full international debut for Venezuela on Friday against Colombia, having previously played for the Venezuela U20 and U23 teams. Gimenez, who previously played just two minutes for Argentina in a November 2018 friendly, could make his debut for Paraguay against Peru on Thursday after filing a one-time change of association with FIFA earlier this year.
However, it is each player’s second World Cup qualifying match of this window that Fire fans will want to keep a particularly close eye on as Paraguay and Venezuela face off on Tuesday night.
