2022 Fifa World Cup: What’s the deal in group C? - Argentina, one of the tournament’s favourites, have been dealt a kind draw, but they cannot allow their 2018 dressing room politics to resurface
The Fifa World Cup brings the possibility of upsets, unforeseeable circumstances and the teeth-grinding vexation of controversy. It also brings contenders to a table that has often allowed only European and South American nations as diners. Before the competition begins, thewill be looking at each group to determine which nation might replace France as world champions. Group C includes Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland.
Argentina begin their campaign against Saudi Arabia before two tricky tests against Poland and Mexico. Nevertheless, they should comfortably win this group. Argentina certainly seems like a complete unit this time around. There is no doubt that they will feel more comfortable at the back than they were in 2018. Lisandro Martinez and Cristian Romero will be crucial for La Selección to provide the rock-solid foundation for a team that has loads of attackers.
The only problem for Saudi Arabia is that in two of the three matches they play, their defence will have to cope with Robert Lewandowski and Messi. It’s a tough ask and it could be a very short tournament for them. While the Arab nation will have to remain defensively sound, their main threat comes off the left. Playmaker Salem Al-Dawsari presents unique traits that can help boost Saudi Arabia’s chances in attacks.
Their first game against Poland might just be a six-pointer as Argentina are favourites to win the group and Saudi Arabia are all but destined to finish last. A good performance against Poland and the Mexicans might well be on their way to the next round.Hirving Lozano’s pace is sure to trouble defences and he will bring a winning mentality to the national side as he arrives from unbeaten Serie-A side Napoli.
