He opened the scoring for the team and also scored his first goal in this World Cup!"
"In less than ten minutes after the opening, Argentina took the lead! It seems that this game will be a big-scoring 'massacre'! No matter what arrangements Saudi Arabia has before the game, they will be in vain in the face of the absolute strength gap.
live!"
"After leading by one goal, Argentina completely gained the upper hand and suppressed Saudi Arabia. They launched continuous attacks on Saudi Arabia's goal. It seems that Argentina plans to respond to the outside world's optimism with a hearty victory!"
"Cantero——! Good goal! Argentina leads Saudi Arabia 2:0! The game has only lasted twenty-one minutes! Oh my god! Argentina is on full fire! Ha!"
"Eh? Wait...offside?! The referee ruled that Cantero's ball was offside? Let's see what the video referee team thinks...Ah, it turns out that Cantero did pass the ball when Melli passed the ball.
...Half the ball of the foot... Well, the foot is indeed the effective position to touch the ball, so even if it goes over half the ball of the foot, it is considered offside. Unfortunately, Cantero's goal was cancelled, and Argentina still led Saudi Arabia 1:0...
"
"Although the goal was canceled, Argentina's advantage is still huge. They completely suppressed Saudi Arabia on the scene. As long as they continue to play like this, winning is not a problem. The only suspense is how many goals Argentina can win in the end!"
"Argentina's offense is back! Farias' diagonal ball... This time it's Melli who receives the ball in front! Good ball! Melli! Melli! Single shot! Passed the goalkeeper! Pushed into the empty goal - 2:0!
!Melli scored twice!
Hearty! Completely suppressed...Eh? Offside again?! My God...this is too...ah, VAR line, Melli was half offside, this time it was still harder than last time
Tello's offside was more obvious... Sigh! What a pity!"
"This ball...is this ball offside again? Sure enough, it's offside again. Now Saudi Arabia's overall defense is very high, and there is a huge space behind them. But as long as Argentina passes the ball forward, it will fall offside.
Trap... Now through the technology of sensors inside the football, receivers and high-definition cameras throughout the stadium, it is possible to calculate in real time whether the football is offside. In many cases, there is no need to rely on the linesman or the referee to judge whether it is offside, they just confirm the result at the end.
...Saudi Arabia obviously made full use of this technology to formulate tactics. Argentina was unprepared for this and always fell into offside traps frequently, which also made the players more impatient...I think during the halftime break, Argentina head coach Feiso
You should make some adjustments..."
"The first half is finally over. Contrary to what everyone thought, Argentina took the lead early, but they have been unable to continue to expand their lead. They then frequently fell into offside traps carefully arranged by Saudi Arabia. In the first half, they had a total of
There were five offsides, four of which directly resulted in shots... Frequent offsides also made the Argentine players restless, and their performance in the second half of the first half was greatly compromised..."
"Although there were some accidents in the first half, I believe that after halftime adjustments, Argentina will be able to find the rhythm of the game again. At the same time, Saudi Arabia's tactics of frequently causing offsides have huge risks. If it fails once, it will
Putting the team into a desperate situation. So they can't stick to this tactic forever. As long as Argentina is patient, they can still win this game..."

"Hey, guess what? Not only did we not win, we also lost! Who would have thought of this?"
"Family, who understands this whole big speechless incident! Argentina, the favorite to win the championship before the game, lost to Saudi Arabia in the first group match! There is a 48-place difference in the FIFA rankings between the two teams!"
"I feel that Saudi Arabia's crazy offside tactics in the first half broke the mentality of the Argentine players... By the way, Saudi Arabia's offside tactics are really awesome. They are really not afraid of missing! If they miss once, they can win.
Being beaten into a sieve by Argentina..."
"Saudi Arabia's luck is incredible. They were called offside so many times in the first half without ever turning over. Just at the beginning of the second half, they scored two goals in five minutes... I feel like they have used up all their luck in the past four years.
!”
"It's so funny! Before the game, Argentina was still the favorite to win the championship, and the odds of winning were second only to Brazil... but they failed in the first game. And they still won the championship? I don't even know if they can get out of the group stage! If it really happens then
It would be really embarrassing if we were eliminated in the group stage!"
"Ah? This is my first time watching a game. Is this what everyone calls the favorite to win the championship?"
"Football is round! Anything can happen in the World Cup! Don't think that just because the stronger teams won before, Argentina will definitely win..."
"Argentina: Shame on the seeded team!"
…
The momentum behind Argentina's upset loss to Saudi Arabia 1:2 was so great that even after one night, the Chinese Internet was still in a state of carnival and excitement.
The reason why it is called a "carnival" is because many people on the Internet are indeed gloating about Argentina's loss to Saudi Arabia.
In fact, Argentinian football used to have a large number of fans in China. After all, it is a traditional world powerhouse, and it has given birth to "soccer kings" like Fiorijo Ingovara. While its football style is full of passion, this team is also
Like my own country, it has a strong sense of tragedy.
These complex factors are intertwined, allowing Argentina to always have a large number of fans in China.
But in the past ten years or so, the personal competition between Melly and Hu Lai has also affected the mentality of fans in China and Argentina.
As a Chinese fan, if you want Argentina to perform well, it means that if Melli plays well, he can suppress Hu Lai.
Naturally, Chinese fans still have to stand up and do whatever they want.
Especially this World Cup.
Hu Lai is still more than two months away from turning thirty-one, while Meili is already thirty-one.
It can be said that this was the World Cup at the peak of their careers.
If the Chinese team cannot win the championship, then Chinese fans hope that Argentina will not win the championship either.
Otherwise, once Argentina wins the championship, Melly will have the biggest advantage in the showdown with Hu Lai.
Out of this simple emotion, the vast majority of Chinese fans are happy to see Argentina's misfortune.
This is why Chinese fans were particularly happy after Argentina was defeated by Saudi Arabia.
They hope that this game will be the beginning of Argentina's defeat, and then they will go home after playing three group matches.

Argentina's 1:2 loss to Saudi Arabia is definitely the biggest news of this World Cup so far, and its influence has not dissipated even after one night.
Even the four games on the fourth match day failed to steal the attention.
Under the influence of Argentina as a "top player", France defeated New Zealand 4:1, the Czech Republic defeated the United States 2:1, Italy defeated Yin Lang 2:0, and Uruguay's 1:1 draw with Nigeria all lost the heat of discussion.
In addition, after the game between Argentina and Saudi Arabia, the game between Serbia and Tunisia that started immediately was completely submerged in the "traffic" of Argentina's upset, without even making a splash.
Many people know that Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia, but they don’t know that on the same day, Serbia defeated Tunisia 1:0, and Milos Vukovic, Hu Lai’s teammate in Madrid Pirates, won the first World Cup in his career.
victory.

"Argentina can be defeated by Saudi Arabia, and we can be defeated by Canada. I hope Argentina's defeat the day before yesterday was a wake-up call for all of you. It made you realize that this is a World Cup, unlike any competition you have experienced before.
It’s different. Here, there is no absolute strength gap. I know, we were the World Cup champions four years ago, but so what? That can only show that we have done well in the past, but it cannot explain the present, let alone the future.”
Before the start of the match between Brazil and Canada, the head coach of the Brazilian national team, Pedro Garcia, was admonishing his players.
"As the defending champion, we are outnumbered. Even Canada will aim to defeat us. So don't think that we can scare away our opponents with the title of world champion. In order not to repeat the mistakes of Argentina, each of you
Individuals must be highly focused during the game! Don’t give your opponents any chances or unrealistic illusions!”
When Garcia said this, his expression was very serious.
As a Brazilian, with his understanding of his compatriots and these players, he might really treat this game like a party.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, the Argentina team lost to Saudi Arabia at just the right time. While causing a big upset, Garcia also found a reason for the players to deal with Canada seriously.
He truly thanked Argentina, an old enemy in South America, from the bottom of his heart...
Others are crossing the river by feeling for stones, but they are crossing by feeling for Argentina's head.
Kabangka, who was wearing the captain's armband, stood up and expressed his opinion: "Before the World Cup, there was media hype about the so-called 'curse of the defending champion group not being able to qualify.' I believe everyone will sneer at this statement. Now we have such an opportunity to pay tribute to the team."
They proved that the so-called curse that the defending champion group cannot qualify does not apply to the football kingdom Brazil!"
