Messi commentator: 'We're hoping more girls will want to play football in Argentina'

Argentina's wait for a first World Cup win goes on after they lost to Italy in their opening game of the 2023 Women's World Cup.

World Football's Katie Smith catches up with Argentinian commentator Andres Cantor, who went viral on social media eight months ago when he got to call the moment that Lionel Messi guided the men's side to World Cup glory.

He discusses whether Argentina's women can galvanize similar support in the country.
