FIFA 2022 world cup

[Furious 7]

Almost everyone was surprised by Argentina defeat I don't know if this is just luck or indeed Saudi has a strong quad
To prove it we have to see their next match against Poland and Mexico. I can't imagine Argentina going out in the early stages
Because Poland and Mexico are not easy opponents based on statistics these two countries are stronger than Saudi Arabia.

I didn't watched the match since I thought it will be an easy win for Argentina but KSA surprised all of us. KSA performance in fifa worldcup is not very good but this win surely boost there confidence for next game against Mexico and Poland. The tournament is still open for Argentina provided they win all of there upcoming matches.

The Argentinian players could not learn from some mistakes, especially with the offside trap that Saudi Arabia continued to do.
They had 3 goals disallowed as they were always caught in the excellent traps of saudi arabia which made this even more difficult.
Indeed, this match seems to be a shock that is quite difficult to accept but it can be used as a good lesson, especially for Argentina when receiving quick counterattacks.

Can someone explain how that was not a penalty for Tunisia? Player (I don't remember which one) clearly touched the ball with his hand and changed it's direction and in the end only a corner was given to Tunisia.

I don't know what happened but what I saw in the replay was clearly the ball hit the Tunisian player's hand but the referee didn't give a penalty and there wasn't even a corner kick or free kick that was being given to Tunisia I honestly don't understand it.

This match was boring no goals happened even though the two had opportunities in sight but they were able to brush each other off especially Denmark had many chances but the keeper was able to hold off well from his edges.

Unfortunately again I have to lose this bet, tonight it seems a little unlucky.

I expected Denmark to win. They had good players in their team. However, the opponent, Tunisia, showed a great game. However, Denmark failed to create good chances. Hopefully Denmark will take the mistakes from this match, work on it and do better in the next match.

Really amazing to watch a comeback from Wales against USA. The game was one best of the best game I have witnessed in the world cup. USA did very well in the first half but didn't get multiple goals compare to the pressure Wales apply in the second half. Gareth Bale was the keyplayer in the team and his presence pull a big threat to USA defenders. The both sides did share points in their first game in the group. Something to start with in Qater.

Bale who plays for the US club must finally be a hindrance to the US victory. the US game succeeded in implementing their strategy by stopping Bale's movement. it makes not have many opportunities Wales gets.
however, Bale's penalty late in the second half should have forced the US to share the points in the first game. this is not a big loss. Fair enough for both teams. and we can see that the next match will be even more exciting to fight for points.

I honestly still can't believe Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia. It was also Argentina's first game at the World Cup. However, the defense of Saudi Arabia has to be praised, they have resisted the Argentine attack in a great way. Hopefully, Argentina will learn from this loss and give the best game in the future.

Actually, Saudi Arabia's defense was not too strong in this match. However, Saudi Arabia seems to be able to cover their weaknesses with an offside trap strategy. and if you follow every Saudi Arabia match. then of course you will get used to seeing this strategy always carried out by Saudi Arabia.
since the beginning of the first half it was very clear that Argentina controlled the game until one goal was created which put Argentina ahead. but yeah, Argentina seems to be careless in strengthening the defense. so that Saudi Arabia can take advantage and always make counterattacks which are quite troublesome.

But to be honest, I too still didn't even think that Argentina could lose to Saudi Arabia. and it seems that this match also brought defeat to many people who bet. because even without direct analysis, I was sure of betting with Argentina. and then here's what happened.

[MAAManda]

So it's a draw between Denmark and Tunisia  both of them tried alot to score the goal but couldn't make it. It was a fast pace game ,their defense was on point but attack didn't work for any of two teams.
Both have many chances but nothing gained out of it.

Until the first half was complete, both teams were unable to score a goal, as a result, the Denmark vs Tunisia match ended 0 - 0. Likewise in the second half, until the referee blew the final whistle, both teams were still unable to score. Denmark vs Tunisia match ended with the score 0 - 0. Actually, Andreas Skor Olsen had scored in the 55th minute. Unfortunately, this player's goal did not count because one of the Danish players, Mikkel Damsgaard, was caught offside first.

The surprise occurred when the Saudi Arabian national team defeated one of the candidates for the 2022 World Cup, the Argentine national team. Argentina had scored first through a penalty kick from Lionel Messi in the 10th minute. However, Saudi Arabia then scored two quick goals early in the second half through Saleh Al-Shehri (48') and Salem Al-Dawsari (53'). Unfortunately, until the match ended, Argentina was unable to score again and suffered a defeat against Saudi Arabia. This defeat also ended the Tango Team's unbeaten record which was stopped at 36 matches.

I expected Denmark to win. They had good players in their team. However, the opponent, Tunisia, showed a great game. However, Denmark failed to create good chances. Hopefully Denmark will take the mistakes from this match, work on it and do better in the next match.

Denmark did have many chances, especially when Andreas Cornelius fired a kick that hit the goalpost and a penalty opportunity for a failed handball and only gave a free kick.
Tunisia also strengthened its defense so that it was difficult for Denmark to break down.
In terms of ball possession and accuracy, Denmark is superior, but both teams are equally strong and end in a draw.

Tunisia likewise should have scored too, they will take the lessons from this game, and hopefully they will do better in their next game too. From the way the game went, I knew that it was going to be a difficult game for both teams. The Tunisians started confidently and were able to maintain their high spirit all through. Mexico and Poland game is still without a goal, If it ends like this, the Argentines will be happy to an extent.

[hyudien]

Mexico and Poland game is still without a goal, If it ends like this, the Argentines will be happy to an extent.

Failing to execute a penalty cost the Poland players the only hope they had. Facing the onslaught launched by the Mexican players, Lewandowski wasted this opportunity. It will be an advantage for Mexico to continue to put pressure on the Polish players. The mentality of the Poland players is now unable to show enthusiasm, it's a shame that the Mexican goalkeeper has become a nightmare for Lewandowski. You're right, at least Argentina has some hope of catching up. With that, I believe Argentina will not disappoint the fans for the second time.

But to be honest, I too still didn't even think that Argentina could lose to Saudi Arabia. and it seems that this match also brought defeat to many people who bet. because even without direct analysis, I was sure of betting with Argentina. and then here's what happened.

I think few people believed in a victory for Saudi Arabia. It was the biggest surprise so far in this World Cup.
What probably happened was that Argentina underestimated the opponent, so they entered the field believing that they were going to have an easy victory, which later did not happen.

This is a warning for all the big teams, that don't devalue their opponents.

One thing is for sure, Saudi Arabia's second goal was a beautiful goal. He will certainly be a candidate for the best goal of the World Cup.

[Jatiluhung]

The Argentinian players could not learn from some mistakes, especially with the offside trap that Saudi Arabia continued to do.

Indeed, this match seems to be a shock that is quite difficult to accept but it can be used as a good lesson, especially for Argentina when receiving quick counterattacks.

And one of the causes of Argentina's defeat was because Argentina underestimated Saudi Arabia a little. and the Saudi Arabia defense line I think is really disciplined in making offside traps because Saudi Arabia is used to carrying out this strategy. and in the second half we can see that Argentina's mentality has become a little weaker. because of course Argentina was a little surprised by the goals that Saudi Arabia managed to get. and I also see the luck factor that Saudi Arabia hangs on. because even in the second half, Argentina almost broke into the Saudi Arabia goal several times but was always saved by the goalkeeper and by the defender of saudi arabia and i think this match has been the most surprising match in the world cup this time. although other surprises of course still can happen.
temporary score mexico vs poland still 0-0.

[Haunebu]

What a crazy upset. I expected Argentina to comfortably win against Saudi, but they totally proved me wrong. This is the beauty of the soccer world cup to be honest because underdogs win way more often than expected.

Looks like Mexico and Poland match will end up as a goalless draw just like the Denmark-Tunisia match earlier. Boring results overall!

There are many surprises in football games. Who would have thought that powerful Argentina would consider losing a game to Saudi Arabia? Let me just suggest that it would be premature to predict that Argentina wouldn't make group C.

This is exactly how Argentina lost their debut match against Cameroon in Italy in 1990. However, they ultimately compete in the 1990 World Cup final. The same is done in Spain. In 2010, they were defeated by Switzerland in their inaugural game in South Africa. In the end, they triumph by winning the world cup.

Since this is only the first game, anything might happen. The semifinals or finals will be reached by Argentina that's what am sure of

[lizarder]

The Mexico vs Poland match is going on right now and the two teams are playing well. Both teams are trying hard to score goals. Of course, Mexico is a strong team in today's match, but Poland should not be considered a weak team. There are many good stars in Poland and this match will show which team can play well and bring them victory. Right now the two teams are playing in the contest let's see what they can do in this series in the next times. Of course, if you keep attacking like this, one team or the other will score in no time, so let's see how the team performs in this beautiful service game.

The game lasted up to 90 minutes of normal time, even though Mexico dominated the match in the first half to the second half, but was unable to score a single goal. El Tri always looks good in the opening matches of the World Cup, but this time they were forced to draw by Poland. Robert Lewandowski missed the best chance through the penalty box, because Guillermo Ochoa was able to save his goal from Robert Lewandowski's kick so that a goal was not created for Poland.

A draw in this match made Saudi Arabia temporarily lead Group C, which was surprisingly able to beat Argentina 2-1 in the previous dramatic match and made Argentina in the lowest position at the moment.

Well you are right. this should be an important lesson for all national teams in this world cup. although surprises like this are common in every world cup. but of course many did not expect that the surprise would come from Saudi Arabia who managed to beat Argentina.
other surprises may be coming.

in fact, it's not only argentina that undermines saudi arabia but in fact we both do it. because to be honest, I underestimated Saudi Arabia a little. in fact i bet for argentina without thinking and without hesitation.

[Velvet78]

It was a really terrible result for Argentina. Saudi Arabia's winning odd was incredibly high and big congrats to who gave them a chance.  

Not much time after Messi scored a penalty, Martinez was so close to scoring their second goal as well. This goal would have secured a win for them I assume. However it was disallowed due to offside. Everything started to go an interesting way after that. In the first minutes of the second half, Saudi Arabia scored 2 goals in 5 minutes which was a big shocker for Argentina. After that Argentina did their best to find the equalizer but they were so clumsy to do so. This is the worst start for Argentina and I wonder how good they will move on from now on. Because the other opponents are even tougher.

[impulse709]

FIFA World Cup 2022 Group C, Poland vs Mexico at full time neither team scored. A fierce contest was played between the two teams. However, Poland football team's Lewandowski missed a penalty in the second half. It is a huge failure for the Poland team. Despite repeated attacks by both teams, neither team managed to score

One thing everyone should remember is that those who play in the World Cup, every teams comes after qualifying. I think it is very foolish to play as a big team and think that the opposing team is small or weak as happened in today's match. Argentina's performance in the first hour was not very good and they didn't go for much attacking mode. But when Saudi Arabia managed to score two goals, they showed a different kind of speed that ultimately did not bring the success. Whatever the opponent is, he should be countered with utmost importance.

I think the strongest team in this group was Argentina, in fact, a team that can beat Argentina can beat other teams. But there are also luck and other factors involved. So I'm skeptical that Saudi Arabia's performance could be high.
They won a very difficult match and surprised everyone, but it is very difficult to say that their other matches in this tournament will end like this

[_BlackStar]

I think few people believed in a victory for Saudi Arabia. It was the biggest surprise so far in this World Cup.
What probably happened was that Argentina underestimated the opponent, so they entered the field believing that they were going to have an easy victory, which later did not happen.

True, Saudi Arabia's win today was a very surprise, but I don't think they played well other than just piling up a lot of players in defense and playing with physical strength.

This is a warning for all the big teams, that don't devalue their opponents.

Argentina only failed to score because of the dense defense of Saudi Arabia, they were only lucky with the most boring strategy during the match. But I don't think Argentina underestimated Saudi Arabia, and this defeat really shook the world. Argentina's defense failed to anticipate counter-attacks and 2 Arab goal opportunities, that's their real weakness.

[MAAManda]

Mexico vs Poland took place quite fiercely since the referee blew the whistle as the start of the match. Both teams, in turn, launched attacks in order to take the lead first. Until the end of the first half, Mexico got two chances in a row. But the opportunities that Jorge Sanchez and Luis Chavez got, have not yet produced a goal.

Entering the second half, Poland was awarded a penalty, after Hector Moreno committed a foul on Robert Lewandowski in the 56th minute. Lewandowski advanced as executor. However, Lewandowski's kick which was kicked towards the left of the Mexican goal could be read correctly by Guillermo Ochoa.

Moments later, Mexico put pressure on Poland until they had a chance to score in the 64th minute, Edson Alvarez's measured pass was headed in by Henry Martin, but the header was kept out by a superb effort from Szczesny. But until the end of the second half both Poland and Mexico could not score a goal, and made the match score draw without a goal.
