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.

Lionel Scaloni‘s men were expected to claim a comfortable win in their debut, now they have a lot of work to do. They still have two games left, first vs. Mexico and later against Poland. But can they lift the trophy?
