That Saudi result is biting them in the ass so badly. If they beat Saudi, Mexico would have had to come out and attack.... but because Argentina lost to Saudi, and Mexico has Saudi next, they can just sit back and take a draw. They'd fancy their chances of nicking a win against Saudi.

To be fair to Messi, as soon as he gets it, he has 3 on him. They know if they take Messi out of the game, they basically stop Argentina.

When was the last time Argentina only had 1 shot in a half?

Nah... it's they beat Poland, they'll probably go through. But they can't take the chance.

It's basically this with the tactics GK DF DF DF DF NO MIDFIELD AT ALL EVERYONE ELSE UP TOP

Messi hasn't lost it, and when Argentina does look like doing something, it starts with Messi.

Probably the worst Argentina performance I've ever seen. 1 shot in 45 minutes is absolutely shocking. Scaloni has got his tactics wrong. He's basically playing 5 up top and there is no midfield at all. They should be having people come short to work an opening.

It was a freak result where they had all the luck. On another day, Argentina could have been up by 3 or 4 in the first half. The first goal was a half chance which just about went through Romero?s legs?. and the second one was a shot on the edge of the box that went through 2 players, which...

If Poland are conceding 16 shots against a Saudi that doesn?t typically create or score, Argentina will create way more than that.

Just goes the show that Saudi had one of those clinical days against Argentina. They can?t even finish here. Argentina will destroy this Poland team.

And how the hell did Ronaldo get the man of the match in that game? He was absolutely shocking and lost the ball every time he had it.

And when did Messi miss a sitter? Also, failed to keep onside? Was barely half a foot offside. On another day, the pass would have been timed better and he would have stayed onside.

We're not watching the same game at all. He's done none of that. And Messi has been doing that ever since he first started playing at Barcelona.

Huh? Ronaldo has barely moved off the ball and closed down anyone. He's been walking around mostly. Missed several easy chances, had a lot of shit touches and got gifted a pen for diving. He's been bailed out from a shit performance. Messi may not have been great, but at least created more...

The Ghana coach lost the game with those changes. Stupid decision to take both guys off when you were looking the better side.

It was a clear dive, and I'm pretty certain the defender got a touch on the ball. Ronaldo has had a poor game and missed a few chances, but no doubt the media will be calling him the goat.

Argentina should have done better, but Saudi had all the luck on their side. On another day, that half chance that goes through Romero's legs gets blocked.... and that one on the edge of the box gets blocked or deflects wide, or Martinez saves it like he normally would. They only had basically 1...

That's the thing, Argentina didn't have problems against Saudi for 98% of the game. They scored a half chance... which luckily went through Romero's legs. Then they scored a great strike at the edge of the box when he had 2 on him, which also took a deflection. On another day, that first shot...

To be honest, back in 2010.... Spain lost their first match and everyone thought they were out after that loss. These games happen from time to time. Also, Spain just about won in their last group game.... and if they wouldn't have won that and Switzerland won like they were supposed to, Spain...

Their attack was probably better back in 2014, but only because Messi and Di Maria were much younger. Aguero was decent for Argentina.... but never amazing, except for one year. Lavezzi was average. Higuain also never performed for Argentina. Martinez is better than Romero in goal. Their defense...
