      I can see to outcomes just as easily:
      1- Argentina doesn't react, doesn't change, and Mexico embarrasses us.
      2- Argentina returns to form and plays like the Saudi Arabia game never happened, smashing Mexico.

      It's do or die for both teams, Argentina more than Mexico, but regardless both teams will be out for blood. Argentina is the more talented side, but they've already proven that doesn't really matter. It will surely be a thriller.

      FIFA referees are lacking in this world 🌎 cup without looking 👀 at the VAR for verification to give penalties in the eighteen range without touching or pushing.The FIFA needs to upgrade their referees officiating their matches 😅😂.?????

      I don’t really understand the rules very well can someone please help confirm this info? So if Argentina loses tomorrow, they’re out for the World Cup since it’s 2 losses in the group stage correct? 😊

      As a Honduran who doesn't really like the Mexican team merely because of the obvious competition…. I really really hope they win today…… They're an excellent team and honestly I think Argentina are in trouble. Also I'm a cr7 fanboy so I'm biased here lol

      Oh no Pablo!!! I can't believe what Dan Thomas did to you. Pablo actually said 'I know the south american qualifier are not as strong as the Euros!!!!!' Nooooo Pablo, Dan caused this loooo. Reminds me of the time when Dan asked him a question and said something like 'south american qualifiers are easy' but i'm pretty sure Dan was being sarcastic (copying Mbappe comment) and Pablo didn't understand his sarcasm. Even though Pablo replied 'yeah I understand your sarcasm' it was clear he didn't looool. Now they have pablo thinking European qualifier is easier than South american, when European have teams like San Marino who lose plus 5-0 often. It is crazy. Pablo is a legend though, he is always entertaining on here.

      My prediction is argentina will lose all 3 matches and it will be the worst world cup for messi and his colleagues.

      After giving one of the most moving speeches I’ve ever seen before a Copa America final, Messi “isn’t that guy”. Yeah.

      Other than Messi and DiMaria Argentina have no threat. Martinez is awful, Depaul and Peredes are just ball winners. Messi has to drop back leaving martinez isolated.

      messi for me is already the goat. however i dont think his the best captain…a captain has to also marshal the rest of squad and be at the necks of every player to make sure they are awake,fighting and keeping a high standard. messi is introverted and humble by nature…its not in his character to be that leader to shout at all the players and wake them up during a tough period in the match.
