Saudi Arabia has stunned Argentina on Tuesday, November 22, defeating the two-time winners 2-1 in an amazing Group C match, and now it is considered to be one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history.
The pre-match talk mainly focused on Lionel Messi, widely regarded as one of the greatest players ever, who is playing in what could likely be his last World Cup.

That's the most beautiful thing about soccer, we don't know what can happen in a 90 minutes match, the first surprise in the World Cup, that will help the other teams not to trust and try to give their best in every minute.

yeah,probably one of bigest suprises in wordl cup history and something that all fans will remember,especially after 1:0 for argentina and 3 goals that var didnt allow ( all fair decisions),so who would expect that in second half they will score 2 goals in just 5 minutes!argentina will regret for this lost for many years!

soccer is like that, it never ceases to give us surprises, that is why it is considered the best sport in the world, argentina came with 36 games undefeated, with a great streak and with a great confidence, but we do not know what happened in the match with saudi arabia, it was very strange to see them play like that to argentina.

things like this happen if you are careless and think you are playing with a weak opponent. I wish for other surprises because that's nice and they don't always have to beat the favorites. Football must also be surprising
Oddly I enjoy when big teams suffer defeats on these tournaments but the real suprise results are used to come on the third round of the groupstage when teams are sometimes rest key players for the next stage where the tournament gets real.

Crazy result for sure . I couldn't predict this , I wonder if anyone has predicted it , it's completely crazy to me , to lose to Saudi Arabia . Of course of small teams can win the famous very good teams that's good advertisement for football, for the sport. I watched some reactions of Saudi people , they went crazy watching their country winning , it was unexpected .

tomorrow argentina will define its pass or elimination from the world cup, it is obliged to beat mexico, i hope they unite as a group and show that they have the team to win, we know that it is hard to beat mexico, but we must always keep them focused on scoring.

This will be just cherry in the pie for them.
Posted by Haymore277: This is the biggest upset in world cup since 2006 if I'm not mistaken
Italy - Costa Rica 0:1 on the 2014 World Cup groupstage had a similar feel to be honest, but of course Costa Rica did not have 22x odds to win that match pre-game.

there will always be surprises and the sports betting houses are the most advantaged of this. They enjoy the most because they earn more money from these surprises. It is interesting what will happen next

They deserve it for sure, Argentina play poorly. But now i think they will get out of the group. The one of the biggest suprises was 20 years ago if someone even remember Senegal vs. France. France was last euro and world cup winners. I think Papa Buba Diop score. And suprise was too to get south Korea to semi finals. But we all who watch know hor the get there.
