Hell of an atmosphere too, effectively it's a Saudi home match

Could be strong contender for goal of the tournament that one!

Saka's first was better

It was deflected. England scored like 3 better goals

Argentina need to bring on a Rattin (one for the oldies) to liven things up a bit 😈

Mexico and Poland in this group opens it right up for carnage !

Cracking game - Argentina look shaken.

Argentina unbeaten in their last 34 matches. And they’re on the ropes against Saudi Arabia.

36 games, they're one away from equalling the record

Would love to know who Algeria played 35-games against... San Marino?

WHAT A SAVE

Saudi and Ghana the lowest ranked teams in the WC.

This has the pace of a decent prem game.
Feels like a 3-2 Argentina but...

Whats worse, is Saudi players arent allowed to play abroad - So its not like they've got anyone with any Champions League experience having tested themselves against these big players etc.

Gribbo

Not watching; have the Argies surrendered?

ForeverAddickted

Haha... Even their Goalkeeper getting in on the tackling now

Not a patch on Huddersfield

Ridiculous free kick

Perhaps it should be called time wasting time.  About time we went back to 90 minutes play per game - only sensible thing FIFA has done for years.

Argentina will nick an equaliser in the 9th minute of injury time.

These attendances Qatar give out are getting stupid.

Lusail stadium capacity listed pretty much everywhere as 80k. Attendance given today as 88,012. And there's empty seats everywhere.

Charlton were consultants for providing attendances for this World Cup.

Are the seats empty though?
All those geezers in white robes make it look like empty seats imho.
I still think they’re fiddling the figures mind.

This game is brilliant 🤩

ForeverAddickted

OFF THE LINE!! - Scenes

ForeverAddickted

This is the last game that I expected to be one of the best of the Group Stages

oohaahmortimer

I wouldn’t want to be the Qatar talent scout 
the Saudi fella has shown him right up with a much better group of signings 

RedChaser

If Garner is watching this anti football he’ll be steaming 😏.

ForeverAddickted

Is this bigger result at the moment than when South Korea beat Germany four years ago? - There were certainly a larger gap in FIFA Rankings in that game

ForeverAddickted

KIN HELL REFEREE... Why the fuck havent you stopped the game for that!!!
