Mexican defenders didn't give Martinez, De Paul, and Messi any breathing space. They played like their lives depended on it and I totally loved it. On the other hand after Wales, I would rank Argentina in the same group of disappointing world cup teams. I had earlier predicted that Argentina would have 1 goal in the first half but boy was I wrong. Kudos to Mexico, well played. Looking forward to the second half.
De Paul and Lautaro Martinez played very badly, they didn't play as well as they did when defending their respective clubs. It's a shame that Argentina hasn't scored a single goal in the first half, this is so sad. The second half has started let's see what happens.
Most matches during the first half of play has been poor in terms of quality and attacks made in this world cup. But the second half has always provided an explosive atmosphere with more goals score and attempts made and Again most controversial actions have occurred mostly in the second half.
I would agree that the match has been boring so far with the Mexican playing defensive and closing all angles for the Argentine. But I expect a totally different atmosphere in the second half and I believe Argentina will find themselves a goal in the second half and secure their three points.
Yes everyone in argentina today wants to win and to see them go further in the world cup. Mexico's defense is very strong and they managed to break every attack from Argentina. On the bench there are still the names Paulo Dybala and Angel Correa, I hope they both can come on and become super subs who will score goals.
