I'd imagine they came to the game thinking this would be an easy start. Then they got pushed around and paid the price. I think Mexico will dump them out of this tournament. That team always shows up at a tournament and they are very hard to play against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael 1,116 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Well, that's the shock of the tournament so far, Saudi Arabia beat Argentina. Argentina along with Brazil, were the favourites to win this tournament with the bookies going into this World Cup. They Argies will now have to regroup and make sure they get wins against Mexico and Poland, if they want to secure qualification from this group. For the Saudis, they've just won their most difficult group game on paper. They will be feeling very confident against Mexico and Poland, even a draw against both those teams, would see the Saudis qualify. What a win though, the 2 Saudi goals were excellently taken as well. They look like a really physically strong and hardworking team, with several technically talented players as well. They will be tough for anyone to play against, if they manage to keep up these performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael 1,116 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 6 minutes ago, Cicero said: Certainly makes it a difficult task. Need to beat both Poland and Mexico now. No slip ups. The pressure will certainly now be on for Argentina. But they are obviously capable of getting two wins, but it's not going to be easy. Argentina has to look for two wins in their remaining games, but Poland and Mexico are likely to find Saudi Arabia just as tough. So it could be that Argentina might still go through, even if they don't get 6 points in their remaining games. Who knows, but I think all the games are probably going to be tight in this group.

Cicero 5,265 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Shocking how not one ball was played over the top from Argentina. Always out wide. Very bad performance all around but this day belongs to the Saudi’s. Fantastic upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, it was great run and shot to score, but nothing compared to Al-Dawsari's goal and Saudis 2nd goal. Al-Dawsari cut inside from outside the area, beat 3 or 4 players in the process, and then unleashed an unstoppable swerving thunderbolt of a strike. That's more the contender for goal of the tournament in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argentina were naive, complacent, arrogant. Saudi Arabia disciplined, organised and actually believed they could win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reluctant Striker 134 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Well, I did have an odd strong sense & predicted Argentina may somehow end up 2nd in this group. Just not off this game. Huge pressure on their next 2 now. But given the offside goals, that on another day could have been 3 or 4 to Argentina before half time, I wouldn't put it beyond them coming good. I think I randomly included in a post just the other day, they won in 1990 after starting off with defeat to Cameroon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
