What a shock today at the world cup,who would have thought that Saudia Arabia will win south America champions in a world cup game, I must congrats them for winning Argentina that has Lionel Messi in it, their whole country will be proud,they are already heroes already in their first game, I think Argentina were missing geovanni Lo Celso in the middle, the Tottenham Hotspur player brings another energy from midfield he reduced the work load for Lionel Messi. I think they can still qualify in the group.
Argentina was making some blunders at the second half. That has been used by saudi arabia to lead the match by scoring two goals in a row. Argentina can't even make match become draw. it seems like that the attackers of argentina was not even so strong even with messi at the front line of argentina. Argentina must try to accept if saudi arabia was even stronger compared with it. This is a unexpected result from argentina to play such bad game play against saudi arabia. I guess so many people were taking argentina as their main bet. There are so many matches remaining and argentina is still having a chance as long as it can win rest of matches on its group. This may be very harder for argentina but it has no choice other than winning any match.

For most teams, they easily get through the group, but Argentina could be a big problem. You can also lose against Mexico and Poland if you don't play well and then you are out. Great performance for Girous, who was supposed not to play because Benzema was preferred.
Argentina is in big trouble, it is clear from the first match loss at the start of their World Cup mission. Argentina suffered the most from the offside trap and the result of the match showed just how bad it could have been. With the way Mexico and Poland played the match and drew the match, Argentina's worries about advancing to the next round have increased as the road looks tougher now. Mexico's goalkeeper saved a penalty and changed the outcome of the match.
Argentina fell into the trap of offside in the first half, may have brought a different strategy to the field after half time. But the fact that Saudi Arabia will go into attacking mode in the second half was out of Argentina's plan. It was out of Argentina's mind that Saudi Arabia would score two goals within a short period of time. Now everyone's question is that a team like Argentina lost with Saudi Arabia's game plan, which is really sad for Argentina fans. As an Argentinian fan, I would like Argentina to come back with double strength in the next matches.
I didn't like Poland's performance even a bit. They were the underdog according to bookmakers maybe but I was still expecting a decent effort by them. There was just only one shot on target by Poland. Lewandowski missed a penalty and maybe they missed a big chance to get a win against Mexico. Mexico found many goal opportunities but couldn't make use any.
Lewandowski's fails in big games are still seen and people are still making memes out of them on the internet. I wonder when he will be able to fix this problem and start playing better in big games. It has been like that at Barcelona so far and it is still going on in the World Cup as well.

I can say that this match belongs to Mexico they can control the game at least better than Poland it's just that luck wasn't on Mexico side
And about Lewandowski we can conclude that he is no longer a mainstay because of his age and maybe this is his last match with Poland.

Poland really looked bad, Mexico was better today but not by far,they even got lucky because Lewandowski missed that penalty. Well he dosent fail in big games because he scored for his clubs but when he plays for Poland its different. He dosent have so many chances to score like in Barcelona,but today he costed them the win.
Yeah Poland squandered a chance at 3 points in this one, Mexico is always tough no matter the location. Getting a point in this game isn't the worst outcome but they certainly could have positioned them well going into the other 2 games later on.

Watched the whole Argentina vs Saudi Arabia match. I was so impressed by their tactical masterclass. They played a high line of defense with subtle offside traps, and Argentina got a whopping 7 offside in the first half alone, more than they got in their entire 2018 World Cup run with three goals disallowed.
The coach behind Saudi Arabia is a genius and underrated.

My friend bet $100 on the Saudis when they scored 1-1 in the middle of the game and won $400, lucky bastard. Yesterday if you were to ask people what they thought about the odds nobody would bet on the Arabs, but maybe for other Arabs
Probably the biggest shock so far right after the loss of Qatar despite the bribe accusations and being the hosts. I actually feel happy about both matches. Qatar got wasted which is great cause they're so confident, thinking they can buy anything and SA -the underdog- managed to win in style. 
The online world named the manager from Saudi Arabia "Lawrence" for historical and meme potential All kidding aside Saudi Arabia played an offside tactic that hasn't been played for many years because it hasn't worked in today's world and they made it work perfectly. There were so many possibilities where Argentina would have scored if the defense was a bit behind, and because of the offside tactic, all of those goals were gone. The goals they scored were a bit more lucky of course, but their defense wasn't anything related to luck, they played amazing defence and this shows a weakness in Argentina for the rest of the cup.

For now, 4-1 for French victory. Giroud scored 2 goals, Rabiot and Mbappe each scored 1 goal. Safe for France now.
A good statement from the the title defenders. They generally showed composure even after Australia had that opportunity to be in front. The most effective side pushing attack for France in the game was Mbappe's wing where he dealt with the Australian Rightback player with his pace, his side was more effective than Dembele's. When I saw the line up for France, I was also surprised not to see Saliba in the starting eleven. They really have lots of options even in front of goal without Benzema.Giroud scored 2 goals, Rabiot and Mbappe each scored 1 goal.
Congratulations to Giroud, a huge achievement a milestone for him equaling and passing Henry's record. These goals are important to give these strikers (Giroud, Mbappe) confidence as they start their world cup run to retain their title.

It's been an interesting match dag life for sure, where we saw Argentina lose to Saudi Arabia in a 1:2 goals respectively with Saudi Arabia coming from behind to win the match. The first goal just shouldn't have gone through as it was taken from an uncomfortable spot but, somehow, the goalkeeper couldn't manage it and the we had Salem with an incredible finish between 4 defenders and still gets to place the ball in the net.
Denmark just couldn't contend with Tunisia. Its a point well earned for Tunisia and a good game even though it was a draw. They should have won, given by the many chances they created but, the Denish goalkeeper was just a saving grace for his team today.

Maybe France didn't start the game well, but who cares if you then score 4 goals in a row? That also shows how good France is. And when you consider how much individual quality that team has, only Brazil might be better. With this victory, France is almost certain of the next round.

Impressed with how they turn two goals in immediately in the first half but the first few minutes showws how France had no midfeld in the game. Australia made good use of that by scoring first but that didn't see or make the World Cup defending Champions loose focus.
Giroud was available to deliver in the absence of Karim Benzema who missed the chance play at Doha due to late injury. Good win for France, they should prepare very well for what's coming.

It was a good game and a thrilling victory for France who has come from a goal down to score 4 against Australia, and kick start their world cup tournament. The win leaves France firmly at the top of the group with 3 points, while Tunisia and Denmark shared the spoils in a goalless draw earlier in the day. Can France retain the worldcup trophy ?
Australia lost, nothing to he ashamed about that for a fact, they were playing against the defensive champions of the world cup, a team with some of the best players in the world so, Australia wasn't expected to win.
It was good they pose such a challenge, took the lead in the early minutes of the first half with some superb goal but as France would have it, Andrien Rabiot came up with the equaliser and soon created the perfect assist for Olivier Giroud on with all he had to do and score was just to touch the ball.
I almost thought K. Mbappe wasn't going to find his chance with all the opportunities he missed but, I think his persistence gave him an opportunity to come up on the score sheet.

Are you also looking forward to the start of this World Cup in Qatar?
And what about betting?

Well personally, I am a person who since I was a child was a big fan of soccer, in fact I always wanted to play in my national team, but because when I was little I did not have the physique, (I was too thin and somewhat weak) I had to dedicate myself to another discipline without neglecting soccer, from 3-4 years I consider that I played a lot, but when I asked to be put into soccer they didn't put me in for the same reason, so I opted to play in the street and practice hapkido and something boxing, but in the case that if they had gotten me I'm sure I would have taken my team to the World Cup, it's something I know, however the love I have for this sport is great, the bets!? Yes, I really don't know how to bet, I want to see which players will reach this World Cup without injuries, but I think Brazil, Germany, Portugal, France, Argentina and Croatia will be the teams that will shine the most for me, I think I'll put winners in their games.
I understand very well what you are saying in reference to practicing, since I was little I had the opportunity to start in all the categories, children C, B, A and under 17, but almost as an adult the responsibilities and dedication that one must have are very difficult, it is not easy to be an athlete even at an amateur level.
Football is beautiful when you experience it that way, but the great thing about football is that you don't need to practice or play it to get excited as a spectator.
If one day I am lucky enough to meet you, I know I shouldn't mess with you, that si, I say this by yours references of the sports that you practice or practiced.

#Argentina
From what he says you must play very well then, coming from all those categories it is because they have taught you from academies and that knowledge is very good, because it is well rooted, I would also love to coincide one day, balance and play soccer, although to be Honestly, right now I have to catch up, I have to do a lot of physical work, because if I start playing in the conditions I'm in, I think that in less than 10 minutes I won't be able to take much running, and to play soccer you need to be in very good physical condition, except running a lot without getting very tired, something that is very difficult and maintaining strength.
Rabiot the goat, is having his best season ever and he will leave probably Juventus for free at the end of this season.
I really like the strategy and formation used by Deschamps against Australia this time, he placed a rabiot in halfback close to mbappe, rabiot provided 1 assist and 1 goal. The match isn't over yet, it looks like we'll see Francis who scores a lot of goals in this match against Australia. I feel lucky with my choice of choosing Francis after losing in the Argentina vs Saudi Arabia bet.I think that now we must make a break with what has happened in these last games, especially with the stars that we expect the most, the case of Argentina is something that confused many and caused them to lose many thousands of dollars, I am one of the people who got up early to see that game, because it promised a lot, above all I thought it was going to be a festival of goals from Argentina, but I really like the football that Saudi Arabia showed, it can be seen that the Arabs have improved a lot, it is that they played with great ease, I don't know if they played like that it was because they were on their land, but the first time I see Argentina lose against a team that most people considered easy to get the points and a very strong Saudi Arabia, power style.
Well, and Messi's message to the controversial goalkeeper Emiliano (who was eaten this time):
Lionel Messi delivers message to Emi Martinez and Argentina dressing room after World Cup shock
Quote
His captain Messi – who became just the fifth player to score in four different World Cups – cut a frustrated figure after Tuesday’s shock loss in the Group C clash. “It is a very hard blow for everyone,” Messi said. “We did not expect to start this way. Things happen for a reason.
“We have to prepare for what is coming, we have to win, and it depends on us. There are no excuses. We are going to be more united than ever. This group is strong, and we have shown it. It is a situation that we haven’t gone through in a long time. Now we have to show that this is a real group.

Well, today was a day of very diverse matches, the draw between Denmark 0 Vs Tunisia 0, Mexico 0 and Poland 0, but the total class that France showed, is a team that is at a great level, France 4 Australia 1, nothing badly, and playing without his Ballon d'Or, "El Gatico Benzema"
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.They were one of the unfavorables because obviously there were Poland and Argentina but now they are top after Poland and Mexico drew.
