Argentina in great danger
Starting the World Cup with a defeat against the 51st nation in the FIFA rankings, Saudi Arabia (1-2), is never a good omen.
But who knows, with this Argentina, anything is possible.
This will require forgetting the hard blow of a historic defeat and refocusing on the fundamentals.
Pointed out for its lack of intensity in the first match, the
Albiceleste
will have to roll up their sleeves or risk experiencing incredible disappointment for Leo Messi's last World Cup.
Third in the FIFA rankings and winner of the last edition of the Copa América, in Brazil against the
Seleção
, Argentina must do better.
Even though their 36 match unbeaten streak has come to an end, anything is still possible for the South Americans.
Obviously, the Argentinian team seemed dejected after the shock of a humiliating setback, but, as coach Lionel Scaloni reminded us, it only takes two victories for the Argentinians to forget this faux pas.
Mexico has a good shot to play
In a totally open group, the Mexicans know that they can qualify for the round of 16 after their draw when they entered the competition (0-0).
Despite their domination against Poland, thanks in particular to the attacking duo Vega-Lozano,
el Tri
almost lost on a penalty from Robert Lewandowski.
Fortunately, his veteran goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa (37) was there...
Mexico arrives in Qatar with justified ambitions.
It must be said that it remains on an elimination in the round of 16 of the World Cup, every four years, for seven editions …
Dominating against Poland, the
Tri
players will have to be more effective against Argentina to try to obtain their first victory in this group C and, who knows, their ticket to the round of 16.
For the record, the coach of Mexico is none other than Gerard "Tata" Martino.
Born in Rosario and trained at Newell's Old Boys, like Lionel Messi, the former Barça coach aims to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
He could at the same time condemn his country of origin and his greatest modern legend...
