Well-known journalist Roberto Morales talks about the confusing situation in Group C of the 2022 World Cup on the eve of the 3rd round of the group stage of the tournament. Now the position of the teams in this quartet is as follows: Poland - 4 points, Argentina - 3, Saudi Arabia - 3, Mexico - 1. Poland - Argentina, Saudi Arabia - Mexico will play in the final round.
“Before the start of the tournament, it was believed that Argentina and Poland would go to the playoffs. But now there may be doubts about this, despite the fact that the Poles and Argentines occupy the first two lines of the group before the final round. The Argentina national team confused all the cards with their defeat from the Saudi Arabia team (0:2) in the first round. Then the wards of Lionel Scaloni defeated Mexico (2:0).
In Poland, everything is going quite predictably so far. In the first match, she broke the world with the Mexicans (0:0), and then won against the Saudis (2:0), coming out on top in the group.
So the rivals are now separated by one point. To be sure of reaching the next stage, Argentina needs to defeat Poland. The victory in the group is also an opportunity to avoid meeting with the French team in the 1/8 finals. But the Poles, even if they lose to Argentina, can count on the playoffs, but then they will have to count the difference between goals scored and conceded if the Mexicans defeat Saudi Arabia in a parallel match,” said Morales.
