Lionel Messi has already played the role of hero for Argentina once in the current World Cup. But the team will once again expect a similar performance in Argentina Vs Poland match on 30th November. Another win will make it easier for the team to make it to the knockout stage. Argentina star Messi is probably playing his last World Cup and he would like to add this FIFA World Cup 2022 title to his collection of trophies. Apart from the World Cup, Messi has been a part of every major title winning team.
Argentina eyeing victory
Argentina suffered a shock 1-2 defeat against Saudi Arabia in their first match and the team is now playing to avoid being eliminated in the group stage for the first time since 2002. This could also be the last World Cup for Poland’s star striker Robert Lewandowski. Talking about the prospects of the team in Group C, a win against Poland will decide Argentina’s place in the knockouts. In the event of a draw, Argentina’s team will either finish second behind Poland or be ousted by Saudi Arabia and Mexico. It is clear that the Argentine team can remain in the knockout race despite the defeat, but it will not be easy for the team to face this embarrassing situation.
The match between Saudi Arabia and Mexico will also be played along with the match between Argentina and Poland. If the Saudi Arabian team registers a win, then it will ensure a place in the knockout. Even with a draw, his chances will remain but then the matter will depend on the results of the other group matches as well as if and when. If Mexico has to keep the hope of knockout alive, then it will have to register a big win against Saudi Arabia in any case. In case of a draw, Mexico will be eliminated in the successful group stage itself.
