Saudi Arabia manager has used rare tactic that offside trap lately hasn't used anymore for most of famous managers but he used it yesterday against Argentina and the result is Argentina players looks confused start to attacking because their players were trapped in the same tactic so i have to says Saudi Arabia manager is briliant and besides that they know the quality of Argentina players were above them so that's why Saudi Arabia used 5 midfielder players attempts to guard midfield players from Argentina and this also successfully to implemented and it caused lack of ball supply to Martinez and Messi during the match which is Argentina didn't get much opportunities to scoring goals

Argentina may fail to qualify for the next round. They need to win the remaining two matches and even a draw in one of the matches would mean that they finish at the 3rd place in the group. Argentina's remaining matches are against Mexico (26th November) and against Poland (30th November). One good news for Argentina is that the match against Poland and Mexico ended up as a draw and therefore they have only one point each. We can assume a lot of permutations and combinations, but one thing we can agree on is that Argentina is definitely not in a comfortable position at this moment.

Eriksen had a good performance but he was not able to bring Denmark to a win. Anyway it is a very good return of Eriksen after his serious medical problem in Euro 2020. At that moment, I did not imagine that Eriksen will be able to come back to football at highest level. Eventually he returned to Premier League and played well in Manchester United. Now, he played good in World Cup and is one of most important players of Denmark.

Poland and Mexico is a very balanced match but Mexico has more chances to score goals in the match in general and in the first half in particular. Lewandowski can feel very bad by missing a penalty but Ochoa again is a goalkeeper for World Cup. It is a third World Cup he played very well even his career in clubs is not too impressive.

Again, if a team can not convert ball possession and opportunities to goals, later it is likely they will be punished by an opponent. Argentina did played well in a first half but Saudi Arabia simply had 8 amazing minutes that all decide the match result.

These results, a defeat for Argentina and a draw for Poland and Mexico, together make this group is very interesting. Argentina has to win a next match if they don't want to be out of World Cup after the group stage. Poland and Mexico are under pressure with their next match, one defeat will put them at risk of beyond first two positions in this group.

Losing at the first games on World Cup most shocking for Argentina because have unbeaten record until 36 games and Saudi Arabia success destroy with impressive record from Argentina. Excited with defensive games from Saudi Arabia, success made several time Argentina forward got offside and three goals disallowed due and offside position. Have effective defensive and Saudi Arabia attractive when building counter attack for scoring goals, based on statistic Saudi Arabi have two shots on target but success scoring two goals than Argentina with 6 shots on target but failure for scoring many goal.

I think Argentina have lucky moment with other match between Mexico vs Poland have draw and chance qualify to next round still opening, but have to get full points left two match later against with Mexico on second matchday and later have beat Poland.

No one could have imagined that Saudi Arabia would win the match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia tomorrow.  Not only you, millions of you like me bet on Argentina vs Saudi Arabia.  I lost $114 yesterday by pulling out for Argentina.  However, betting is completely uncertain, it is impossible to say for sure when any event will happen.  Like Argentina's humiliating defeat against Saudi Arabia yesterday.

I just won 2 matches tonight when putting a draw for Denmark and Mexico.



I don't surprise because have been experienced in the last world cup, (when lost put a big team draw versus a team who was not famous for football). And Ussually the players who have best peformance in club not always better on the national team because maybe not suitable for each player and still not compact due of rarelly play together.


Then I just bit lucky than you, I put my bet after Saudi player create a 2nd goals, the odds still high 4 

Yup unfortunately i lost my money yesterday. my bet was 1.13 for Argentina . But nobody was prepared for what happened in the Argentina vs Saudi Arabia game.  Think for yourself when a team offers 100x within 20 minutes of the game, who dares to bet for that team! Anyway congrats to Saudi Arabia for showing such a good match. It will be a memorable match in World Cup games in 2022

Saudi Arabia 3pts
Poland 1pts
Mexico 1pts
Argentina 0pts


Argentina Vs Poland
Argentina Vs Mexico

Of course, Argentina must win against Poland and Mexico to survive the group stage.  A draw will definitely put Argentina out of the group stage.

Saudi Arabia Vs Mexico
Saudi Arabia Vs Poland

A win against either Mexico or Poland will secure the group stage for Saudi Arabia.

After all, Argentina has no choice but to win two matches to survive.

Saudi Arabia is very happy because of the victory in this match. The government of Saudi Arabia has announced the closure of all educational institutions in Saudi Arabia because of the victory in this match. I am very happy to see this incident. However, this is a matter of great difficulty for the people of Argentina. The people of Argentina are very worried.  The problem is that their team lost the first match.

It was pure stupidity from Argentines. They have some of the most experienced players in the world, and still they fell in to this offside trap. It could have easily backfired on the Saudis, but their opponents were unable to make use of it. If I am not wrong, the odds for the Saudis were something in the vicinity of 21.00-22.00. Those who made a bet on them got a fortune yesterday. I didn't placed a bet, but would have never gone with a Saudi win. At the most, I would have placed a bet for draw. A win for Saudi looked just impossible.

The Saudis had a good skill level, both goals show that, but most importantly I would say that the Saudi coach won the match. The defense offside trap was just brutal against Argentina. It could have easily ended 4 - 0 for Argentina if the Saudi coach was playing in a more standard way.

Saudi Arabia was underestimated, I think that was the main reason why Argentina lost the match, they don't believe Saudi Arabia can win the match, am sure most people didn't believe also, but Argentina coach shouldn't have underestimated saudi, no country should be underestimate in this world cup, am sure this will serve as lesson to other countries also.
Saudi Arabia suprised people yesterday, most people bet on Argentina to win, I haven't seen anybody that bet on Saudi Arabia to win or draw, even one was too confident that Argentina will win, but unfortunately they disappointed most people, I think we all should be cautious when gambling in this world cup.

Argentina shocking lost to Saudi Arabia 2-1 in their first game in the world cup. Argentina had three additional goals in the first half but all we're disallowed due to an offside position. It's really pain to see one of the tough country to lose their opening game, especially now that they will have to fight for a winning in their next game. Pretty an amazing results for Saudi Arabia and they have even declared a public holiday in accordance to celebrate their winning.

I will be very happy to see it lmao. I dont like Argentina because of Messi and I still believe that Argentina wont win a big event like World Cup if Messi is still in the team. I dont even understand why the coach did not try to keep him on bench to play against Saudi and Messi can be super sub if something is not working without him. If I am managing Argentina for the match against Saudi, I would have Dybala, Correa, J Alvarez, and Lisano Martinez on the starting lineup. By the way, congrats to anyone who placed bet on Saudi in this match, I think many supporters bet on their National Team.

That would be a devastating end to Messi's career in the world cup.

It's actually a possible scenario now, considering that Mexico and Poland are reasonably good teams. I can see the Mexican goalkeeper stopping a penalty from Messi for example, and Poland's Lewandowski scoring against Argentina...

They were underrated in the game and no one expected a win from them. Saudi Arabia have one of their biggest win in their first game in the world cup against Argentina. It's really frustrating to see the big country lose to Saudi Arabia, who thought Saudi who be victorious in the game, definitely nobody. Leo Messi will be very dissapointing to watch his side lose the game with narrow escape score of 2-1. Argentina dominated in the both halves with enough goal scoring targets but failed to achive any in the second half.

Even though I'm Brazilian (Argentina's main rival), I would never bet on her losing to Saudi Arabia. In fact, that was the first big surprise of this world cup.
The worst part is that Argentina still has to face Mexico, which is a team with a reasonable performance, but much better than Saudi Arabia.

Can you imagine Argentina, one of the favorites in this world cup, being eliminated in the group stage?

I saw a part of that game and I saw a Mexican dominance while Poland was playing defence too much. Lewandowski missed a penalty and wasn't able to score a single goal for Poland for many games which draws many criticism but that doesn't mean that his days are over imo.
For Australia now, after a good start, they were crashed badly by France by 4 goals. Australia chances to stay became very low tho.

Well yes, in context and on a global level we could see it that way, but I could consider making a break, at least in analyzing the Japanese team, the Japanese have been improving their style of football with a lot of technique and strategy that are very good, the Japanese team He has great acceptance and respect now, there are very good players, apart from that they had a great program to make the Japanese improve certain characteristics such as their height to be a little more competitive, in that sense, I think you have to have a certain c Watch out for Japan.

On the other hand, Spain is a very good team, Germany too, there is no denying that they are very good and that they can do great things if they want to prove it, both are World Cup teams that have won World Cups and that is something that must be recognized.


Well I've been thinking about this, and if I can come to the conclusion that the Arabian manager is a great coach, and I'm sure they'll drag him to Europe, in fact I'd like him to be at Man United rather than Ten Hag, apart from this I think that the forward they have in Arabia is unique, I think that they have a phenomenal future if they continue to explode, because apart from playing well, I think that Arabia has a very great explosiveness and their players are quite good as to follow the same model of strategies that they used for Argentina, what I see from here is that if Arabia continues to play like this, they can be very successful.

It remains to be seen how it continues to unfold in the next matches, but the future I see for this World Cup can make many appusetas go down, because this World Cup is giving many surprises.

I agree with this.
Regardless of how most people think that Saudi Arabia is playing quite boring, I feel that it is indeed difficult for them to play openly against a team of Argentina's caliber which is very much the favorite, so carrying out a defensive scheme like this is definitely something that is really good to do.
On the other hand, for the world cup this time, there have been 2 surprises, indeed what happened after England played with the highest score. of course this will be a little difficult for their competition in reaching the next round.
