I've been listening to footie pundits all over, raving about Argentine and making a big deal about this being Messi's last world cup
I haven't believed it....... any of it.
and this is why. Humbled by Saudi Arabia.
Argentina found the net 4 times. They had 3 goals ruled out, correctly btw, for being offside and only scored with a penalty from the VAR reversal of the Harry Maguire decision from yesterday. I know VAR is sometimes criticised for being slow, but after 17 hours of deliberation they finally came to the right decision during a completely different match.
The two goals that KSA scored were excellent goals, the second in particular was an absolute stunner. Early contender for goal of the tournament, I reckon. His control under pressure was excellent, his composure was complete, the shot itself was a snorter rifled into the top corner
I laughed my socks off when I saw the scoreline
Argentina favourites to lift the WC?
