Group C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland

[B8's REVENGE]

Don’t get what point you’re trying to make, They were 2-1 down. You not a fan of random people predicting something on a football forum? Must be a scream at parties

Even at 2-1 down BALLSY prediction mate.

Great result for the KSA but can't celebrate this too much. Shame Argentina didn't lose to a less murderous nation.

Thats an awful way of viewing things. You can feel happy for the Saudi people and their fans without supporting their government. End of the day, this Saudi team are doing it for their people and to make them proud. Not everything has to be about politics.

Agree completely

Remind who's been funding their training camp, wages and league and why? It is impossible to separate sport and politics. Your reaction is, by the way, as valid as anybody else's. It's a complex issue.

Even at 2-1 down BALLSY prediction mate.

They were 11/10 at the time. Do you only make predictions that are over 100/1?

I actually like the added time, sick of seeing 65 minutes of football in a 90 minute match

100% Do this enough and the time wasting “tactics” become less frequent. 3 minutes of added time for 10 minutes of stoppage makes my blood boil.

the Saudis looked like they were on the klopp juice, they were everywhere! what an upset, bookies must have been buzzing

To be fair, Argentina have a history of murder too , especially the Junta in the 70s and Galtieri who got his arse kicked in the Falklands

In 2010, Spain lost their opening game to Switzerland and went on to win the tournament.

It’s far from over for Argentina, but Saudi we’re excellent there. I feel Argentina took their foot off the gas, almost as if they expected the win, coming out for the second half.

It’s what the World Cup is about. We’ll done Saudi Arabia, you put in one hell of a shift now. Will be interesting to see how Mexico-Poland goes later.

Aye. The pressure is now bigger for the Argies but i don't think there's ever been a final contested between two teams who won their three group games. So, that proves that one of the finalists- sometimes even both- often has a dodgy game (upset loss or draw) at the group stage.

I guess you’d rather have your off day when you’re allowed to have slip ups then when it truly matters in the Knock outs.

Excited for the next game now, feel it’s a HUGE game.

Looking forward to seeing Mateusz Cash make his world cup debut

Loads of happy Saudi Lid's in town today.

Gallardo at left back for Mexico has to be quick, doesn’t he?
