After being surprised by Saudi Arabia and starting with defeat in the World Cup, Argentina is on the alert for the second game, against Mexico, in match that takes place on Saturday (26), at 16h (Time of Brasilia). Argentine fans are already doing the math to find out under what conditions the selection can still survive in the Qatar World Cup.
But what's right, if Argentina loses to Mexico, it's out. The Argentines would have zero points in the tournament and would be eliminated early in the second round. Mexico would reach four points, same number as Poland today. Saudi Arabia would be in third place with three.
If Argentina stall with Mexico, still has (small) chances. The mission would be complicated, as the Argentines would reach a point and still remain in the lantern. Therefore, they would only advance in case of victory by two goals or more over Poland.
If the difference is only one goal, only enter if Saudi Arabia and Mexico stall the other game of the third round. In the final round, Argentina faces the current leader, Poland.
