It's not over for Saudi Arabia, they can still win in the last game and move on. Poland won now and it was a really good game. Lewandowski is his first goal in a World Cup, very nice for him. Who bets on Mexico to win today? The Argentina line-up i missing Julian Alvarez and Paulo Dybala. They should play, so even more ofensiv Football I think.
Hopefully, Mexico will not play a dirty trick on Argentina, or otherwise, it will be game over for Saudi Arabia. The encounter will be more defensive and attacking for Mexico and Argentina, as both sides are battling to qualify and avoid defeat. Saudi Arabia had all of their chances, but they got vulnerable when they allowed the first goal, and to make matters worse, Salem missed the penalty, seems they are still looking for Messi.
The Saudi Arabia vs Poland match has already ended with the whistle of the referee. Poland defeated Saudi Arabia 2-0 in today's match. I think a penalty is a big asset and a big opportunity in a match but if that opportunity is not taken then the match can never be turned around. But Saudi Arabia had such an opportunity but they could not use that opportunity. However, Poland tried to exploit the maximum opportunities that Saudi Arabia could not. I couldn't find any similarities between Poland's game and the game Saudi Arabia played against Argentina. Saudi Arabia's World Cup mission is not over yet, they have a match against Mexico ahead, if they win that match against Mexico, Saudi Arabia will qualify for the second round. Hopefully they will come back much stronger in the next match.
Missing a penalty isn't a big thing, but the trouble arises when the squad becomes obsessive in their pursuit, which is what Saudi Arabia does. A team might lose a penalty and draw the game, and they could also win the game, depending on their strength and ability. Let us not forget that Poland's squad has strong players like Lewandoski and is now at the top of the table, preparing for the next level.
