Argentina was shocked by Saudi Arabia 2-1 in their first match of Group C of the FIFA World Cup, while Mexico and Poland drew 0-0, where El Tri were hardly their best self and needed the heroics of Memo Ochoa to stay in the match.
Now the two clash once again at the World Cup, in their last two World Cup meetings Argentina defeated Mexico in 2006 and 2010. In 2006 a Maxi Rodriguez extra time banger put la Albiceleste through to the quarterfinals, in 2010 led by Diego Maradona as the coach, Argentina defeated Mexico handedly 3-1.
The fanbases have no love loss for each other as games can get quite hectic with chants and insults being hurled at both ends of the stands. Now only 48 hours from kick off the two fanbases clashed in Doha.
