Argentina‘s debut in Qatar 2022 didn’t go as predicted. Lionel Messi and company blew a 1-0 lead to Saudi Arabia, who produced one of the biggest upsets in FIFA World Cup history with acome-from-behind win.
The conversation around La Albiceleste has therefore taken a huge twist. From wondering who would they face in the knockout stages, now many even doubt they can get past the group stage.
