Saudi Arabia rocked the footballing world with its biggest surprise – at least for now – at the tournament, “falling victim” to Messi’s Argentina. Hervé Renard’s team won 2-1 and caused trouble for Albicelesta, who are at risk of an early farewell to Qatar after clearly tougher matches against Mexico and Poland.

Argentina only took the lead with Messi’s penalty in the 10th minute, but Saudi Arabia responded in the second half to Al Shehri (48 minutes) and Al Dausari (53 minutes), the latter scoring a stunning goal. It was Argentina’s first defeat after three years and 36 games, when the media in the country even spoke of “tragedy” and “casio” while, on the other hand, a holiday was declared in Saudi Arabia today to celebrate the great win.

In another group match, Mexico and Poland drew 0-0, with Guillermo Ochoa saving Lewandowski’s penalty to become MVP. Tunisia’s 0-0 draw against Denmark could also be described as a bit of a surprise as the second team players put into practice what they announced and played with performances where the badge was the same color as the jersey and was not on. in protest against awarding this event to Qatar.

Finally, France, although trailing in the score, beat Australia 4–1, with Giroud scoring two goals (32′, 71′) to catch up with Henry in first place among the tricolor scorers with 51 goals. Rabiot (27 minutes) and Mbappe (68 minutes) also scored in favor of the trophy winner. The Australians opened the scoring thanks to Goodwin in the 9th minute.

White tied with Mexico – Poland and Denmark – Tunisia – in the center today Spain, Germany, Belgium.

Today the World Cup continues with four matches. The schedule begins with Morocco playing last year’s finalists Croatia, followed by Germany playing Japan. Hansi Flick will not have Leroy Sane at his disposal. Spain and Costa Rica, Belgium and Canada also play.

ANT1+ issue resolved

In terms of streaming, there was a major issue on the ANT1+ platform yesterday that resulted in the games being moved to a free-to-air channel. Until late at night there were strong rumors that the project was probably a failure and that all matches from now on will be broadcast on ANT1 and possibly on TV Makedonia. All that remains is the official position of the club regarding both the television future of the tournament and what will happen to those who have already paid for the subscription.
