I had not plan to watch this match but woke up at 4 a.m. and couldn't go back sleep. That was great! What an atmosphere.
Lol. Literally the same happened to me. Glad I woke up. I'm certainly no fan of KSA nor am I an Argentina hater, but schadenfreude is a nice way to start the day. As bad as yesterday was, Argentina fans feel much worse than we do.

Would be awesome for all 4 teams to come into matchday 3 with 3 pts

I think that was part of the plan. Frustrate Argentina with the offside trap. Come out and give it them all the pressure they could in the first 20 mins of the second half to try to get a goal or two, then pack it in for a point, or three if they were lucky.


That said, the Saudi players were very good. The goalie was outstanding. The rb was awesome. The attackers were good. The beat Argentinas finesse with direct play, speed, aggression and athleticism.

They also made very few mistakes

My wife got up to get a drink of water at 3am and ended up dropping a glass on the tile. Woke up to shattering glass and helped clean it up. Was already awake so...

Holy s##t this is not what I expected to see when I checked in this morning.

I suppose I should expect some crazy s##t to happen that will allow a meh Mexico squad to go through.

Otamendi was offside (and that was a foul on the keeper) but that Saudi defender didn't know that. Heck of a clearance.


I only saw highlights and it was not explained at all what happened. Was the Arg player offsides and that's why the foul on the GK (yellow card) was not a PK?

Mexico was likely to go through anyway, but this gives them a great chance to finish top of the group and avoid France in the Round of 16. This is Mexico's golden chance of making it to the quarterfinals!

Just saw a score that is surely fake news regarding Argentina.

Can someone confirm if it's real?

HOLY ***** Argentina coach will be thrown from plane at max altitude.

Pretty sure, yes.

The FIFA feed generally sucks re: replays. I don't know why they're waiting 10 minutes to show the VAR graphics (or maybe I do)

Been watching the matches on Fox, FS1, but for the Mexico game might just have to tune in to Telemundo.

Damn.

Hate to say it, but the biggest winner from that game is Mexico.

Eh...they're still screwed if they lose to Poland and in good shape if they win. I don't think this result changes things for them that much. Maybe now they are more confident of getting a result against Argentina (their bogey team) which is a plus. But Saudi Arabia will definitely have something to play for in the final group game and that's a negative.


I'm actually more worried than before. Made today an absolute must win.

That said, **** ARGENTINA.

I watched all of it. It wasn't a fluke.

Once Saudis got the lead, they played bunker ball. They didn't care about the aesthetics, just wanted to win. Something that USMNT could have done.
