November 22 will be remembered as a nightmare for Argentina team ,When World’s 51st Ranked team Saudi Arabia defeated World’s 3rd ranked team in one of the biggest upsets in the World Cup history .Defeating to Saudi Arabia in their opening group match made more difficult for two times world cup champion Argentina to quality to the knockout round .
32 teams are participating in Qatar World Cup 2022 ,which are divided into 8 group, Each group have 4 teams and Each team will play 3 group stage matches with their group teams .Argentina is in Group C along with Saudi Arabia ,Mexico and Poland .Top 2 teams from each group will get qualified for Round of 16 .Argentina will face Mexico in a do or die match on November 27 and in their Last Group stage match,Argentina will have face to face with Poland on December 1.
After loosing their first game to Saudi Arabia, Argentina have the following ways to qualify for the knock out round .
1. The best chance for Messi-led Argentina to qualify for round of 16 to win the remaining both the group stage matches against Mexico and Poland .Winning both the games will give 6 points to Argentina and might be enough to quality for next round .
2. Currently Poland stands first place in the group with 2 games played with one win and one draw and total point is 4 while Saudi Arabia stands second place in the group with 2 games played ,one win and one loss and total point is 3 ,Mexico is on 3rd place with one game played, one draw and total point 1 and Argentina is on the last position of group with one game played with lost result and total point O .If Argentina lost any of their two games ,they will be eliminated from World Cup 2022 .But If Argentina wins their both games and Mexico beat Saudi Arabia in their last Group match then Saudi Arabia will finish with 3 points while Mexico will finish with 4 points then Poland and Argentina will qualify. But If Argentina draw or loss their both group games will be out of the competition. If Argentina wins both of games and Saudi Arabia win their last game against Mexico both the team will have 6 points in that case the team which has scored more goals will go through the knock out round so for Argentina scoring more than 2 goals in each match is also important.
