The first upset of Qatar 2022 is here. Saudi Arabia pulled off a shocking, come-from-behind victory over FIFA World Cup favorites Argentina in their first game of the group stage, which continues to make noise.
Lionel Messi‘s team arrived in the tournament in very high spirits, with a Copa America title and a fantastic unbeaten streak under its belt. Now the outlook has changed, with their World Cup chances looking at risk.
The question nolonger is who could Argentina face in the knockout stage, it’s whether they will make it out of the group stage. Of course, their title chances look lower now – but they wouldn’t be the first to be crowned after losing their first match.
