damn, Argentina was a real surprise. I was actually expecting to see it doing a goal showdown. On nthe other hand, Saudi Arabia may well be the diamond squad of the cup as they performed really well in front of the south american squad.
From what I've seen from their first appearance, if Argentina keeps up with this flawed tactic, it will probably not reach the following phase.

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
I watched the match and it was not that spectacular i have to say but of course that has to be expected because in very important games the teams usually try to play it pretty safe obviously because a loss already puts them under a lot of pressure in the group stage. The penalty for Poland was definitely deserved and some referee experts even said that the player of mexico should have received a red and not only a yellow card. Unexpectedly Lewandowski missed that penalty even though he usually is very efficient with his penalty taking and i also think that the penalty was not that badly taken from him but that the mexican keeper just had the right corner and made a great save.
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.
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.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.
and for the next match, namely France vs Australia, I hope the match will be more exciting and not boring without a goal.
Poland was given an opportunity to beat Mexico but they missed use it that made the game to ended up draw 0:0. Mexico players really played a fantastic game that made many people to rate their goalkeeper as the best goalkeeper in the whole world, because he catch the penalty that was given to Poland player. I guess, Poland will learn from their mistake in this game so that it will not repeat itself again.
Poland should have won this game, but Lewandowski failed to convert the penalty into a goal. Yes of course they have a lot to learn from this draw but every team now including Argentina only have 2 games to improve.Argentina were the most unlucky team in Group C, they lost to the underdogs in Group C and somehow Saudi Arabia actually managed to stay that way during the second half. I have no other reason for Saudi Arabia other than they just got lucky with the Argentinian anti-missile defense system. It would be surprising if in the end Argentina failed to qualify for the next round and Saudi Arabia leads Group C with 9 points in the next 2 matches.

I see Argentina badly, they conceded many goals from a team they drew with last year
honestly I miss portugal (even if Ronaldo says otherwise) I see him as a possible champion
spain or germany are the favorites for me to win, brazil doesn't seem totally in shape

That was a special surprise today from Saudi Arabia. Would we be selling that team short if we say it was luck? Of course Argentina had some bad luck that the 2-0 turned out to be offside, but that 1-2 was a beautiful goal. In the afterthought, they also call that player the Messi of Asia. And now Argentina could also have a hard time, because if they accidentally lose to Mexico or Poland, they are almost certainly out. Mexico and Poland played 0-0, but Lewndowsky will not sleep well tonight because of his missed penalty.
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.
other surprises may be coming.

This happens most of the times that teams like Argentina when they have match with less experience teams they underestimate them and get a bit overconfident and result is this that world is experiencing today.

Very few people risked their money for Saudi Arabia. I did place a bet for both team to score and Argentina to win. Sadly lost one of the bets. It was unexpected indeed but not a lot of surprising when it's Argentina. I don't know if you watch cricket or not; Pakistan is the same team as of Argentina. They lose some matches which no one expects lol. Pak vs Zim was the same in the last T20 world cup while Pakistan at the end, played final though they didn't win.

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.

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. 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.

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. 
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 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

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.

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.

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.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

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
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!
