ICYMI: Unheralded Saudi Arabia notcheS one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history with a 2-1 win over Lionel Messi’s Argentina thanks to a scintillating second-half comeback.
Despite plenty of possession after that, Argentina was unable to penetrate Saudi Arabia, which was competing in its sixth World Cup but had never previously won an opening game.
Both teams have Mexico and Poland to come, with Argentina needing an immediate reaction if Messi is to have a realistic chance of matching Diego Maradona’s immortality in his homeland by bringing home the World Cup. “This hurts a lot. We were dreaming of starting the World Cup with a win,” said Messi’s strike partner Martinez. “But it’s happened and now we have to train and think forward.“We lost this game because of our own mistakes, most of all in the second half. There are details that make a difference and we need to correct our mistakes.”
