Sorry I dont agree with you, Saudia got though on merit, Italy failed.
Day 3: Argentina vs Saudi Arabia | Denmark vs Tunisia | Mexico vs Poland | France vs Australia
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Who's the last team that won the whole thing while losing their first game? Spain?
1st place out of France or Denmark.Some of these backpasses to Martinez.
Argentina-Brazil as a SF looked a lock. Not so sure now....who would Argetina likely face if they finish second in this group?
Argentina will top their group even if they lose here. But a quarter final vs Netherlands will be very tough for them and I don't think they are better than LvG and Netherlands
That front 3 looks turgidly slow.
Well di maria and messi.
Lautaro is like a inzaghi regen.

ffs I looked at the tele just as her face was blocked. world cup ruined
He's being sarcastic.
88000 attendance?
This has to be weakest Argentina i have seen in terms of individual quality , bar Messi and Di María.
Argentina used to smash these kinds of opponents, now they are struggling, and probably gonna lose.
If they lose here they are forced to beat Mexico and Poland, who won't be easy by any means.

Pedestrian, as they almost always do at these World Cups.
Could do with Garnacho now tbh
Licha is the opposite of Pogba. He'd rather play with his team mates at United than Argentina NT I reckon.
Is that Luo Dipa?
Didn't know that. They're my go to club in fifa when I want a challenge online. They're rated pretty highly except for the defence.
People saw Messi and they automatically had them as title contenders. Crazy
The KSA manager looks like Dr Christian from Embarrassing Bodies.
It's the first time in 20 games that Saudi Arabia scores more than one goal.
It's also the first time in 20 games that a game including Saudi Arabia has more than two goals.
Their record prior to this was 9 goals scored and 11 goals conceded in the last 19 games.

Yeah they've always got a covering defender when Argentina put a pass through the lines. They will surely drop back for last 10 + minutes.
Martinez is pretty slow so can't break away from them even when it's a decent pass played.
Argentina have been seriously lacklustre but I've been impressed with the Saudis, they've really kept their heads on here.
that's not a foul for me
This is perfect territory for Messi.
That is not a free kick.
Messi has been pretty invisible you have to say

How tf is that a free kick for Messi
Diving against Saudi Arabia 
Refs just keep falling for Messi's dives
Does someone have a river for me?
Never a free kick. Messi knew he'd played a terrible pass and went down hoping for the best.
Probably 2-2 then....
Probably 2-2 then....
You'd think 2 years playing in a farmers league would have prepared messi for this one.
Never a foul. And the late decision is suspect, hope the ref doesn’t rob the Saudis of what has been a stunning performance here.
Thats a soft Free Kick
They don’t really have that sort of player who will continue running at you since ADM is kind of past it.
The crowd looks fantastic behind that goal.
Shocking ref decision that. Never a FK, only given as it's Messi
What makes you think that?
South American players are usually far more dedicated to their national teams.
Messi is shameless.
Messi reduced to diving vs KSA
This ref trying his hardest to help Argentina now.
Rubbish free kick.
