The 2022 Qatar World Cup race brings extraordinary surprises. Surprisingly, Saudi Arabia beat Argentina 2-1, a team that is predicted to be the favorite to win the World Cup this season.
Saudi Arabia managed to beat Lionel Messi thanks to the brilliant goals of Saleh Al-Shehri and Salem Al-Dawsari. Herve Renard’s troops also top Group C with 3 points, followed by Poland, Mexico and Argentina.
Thanks to this victory, it is reported that the Saudi Arabian team will receive a Rolls-Royce Phantom limousine as a prize. Discussion about it began to spread on the social media network Twitter, although the truth of the news is still in doubt.
For information, Saudi Arabia is in 51st place in the FIFA world rankings, while Argentina is in 3rd place. Argentina are the favourites, having won the Copa America last year.
Unfortunately for Argentina, their three goals (2 goals by Laotaro Martinez, 1 goal by Messi) were declared offside after checking the VAR technology by the referee. As a result, Argentina’s unbeaten record of 36 times had to stop in Qatar.
On the other hand, the Polish team, which drew against Mexico in the first round, has only collected 1 point, ranking second in Group C. If Poland loses to Saudi Arabia in tonight’s game, there is basically no hope of qualifying for the round of 16. .
The team nicknamed Biało-czerwoni actually has a big chance to win over Saudi Arabia. They have great players who have played in five European leagues, one of them is Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona).
