Nice statistics, but I can't believe only a few people believe Argentina and Saudi Arabia will cause an upset and qualify from the group. Saudi players either become billionaires with private jets or are buried in the desert as their king promised. I'm putting my life in their hands.Thanks for the nice words guys, we're glad you like it and that you're having fun.

I believe Saudi Arabia's kings promises can only be nothing but a source of motivation, that really doesn't connotes that it will determine the outcome of the said fixtures, I really do commend Saudi Arabia for their performance against Poland, they played really well but at the end of the day, they lost the game, while the heroics with the victory vs Argentina was a source motivation for their next game, but in the game vs Argentina they weren't competitive in the first half of the game and just keep their high defensive line, If Argentina had won that game, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have been as courageous and attack minded like they were in the 2nd game vs Poland.
I'll back Mexico not lose the game (more likely a win), but a draw would also not be enough for Saudi Arabia to make it to the next round, except if Argentina fails to emerge victorious against Poland.
I understand that the death part is only to motivate the players not to give up, but he actually kept his promise after they beat Argentina, giving each player the latest Rolls Royce, but you never know what would happen to the coach and players if they failed to qualify after giving the country so much hope. I am aware of an African Olympic team that was imprisoned following a poor performance at the Olympics; the country gave them everything, but they did not return with a single medal. They returned every penny spent to their government. The Mexico team looks old, and Argentina and Saudi Arabia deserve to go through for the beautiful football they have given us thus far. If Argentina wins by four goals and Mexico-Saudi Arabia play a 0-0 tie, Saudi Arabia qualifies on goal difference.
This simply proves that you can't pay a player or a team to be better than someone else. I didn't watch the game but they might have won just because Argentina had a bad day. If that was the case then all the money in the world can't make them qualify for the next round if they are not good enough. Besides, this is football. It's normal for a weaker team to win one game.
