CGTN Sports Talk EP202 Saudi Arabia make Asia proud.mp3
The 2-1 loss against Saudi Arabia nearly exposed all of the problems Argentina have: their defensive line is unstable; they lack control in the midfield; their attackers are clueless about how to beat the blanket defense.
By contrast, Saudi Arabia have every reason to celebrate: it's the first time for the team to win their first group game at the World Cup; they beat the two-time World Cup champions; they now lead Group C.
France almost suffered the same misfortune as Argentina did after Australia scored first, but Kylian Mbappe, Olivier Giroud, Adrien Rabiot and Antonio Griezmann stood out to save Les Blues.
The two 0-0 draws between Denmark and Tunisia, Poland and Mexico, only complicated things in their groups.
