Argentina vs Mexico preview
After Messi’s early penalty, La Albiceleste looked to be cruising to a routine victory against the lowest rank side in the group, but things soon fell apart. Two second-half Saudi goals in five minutes were enough to cause one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history. Though they managed 70% possession, Argentina’s midfield in particular looked devoid of quality and composure as their 36-match unbeaten run came ended with a thud. Manager Lionel Scaloni will hope to have solved the problem in time for this huge clash.
Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa loves World Cups. He has produced some incredible performances at previous tournaments and maintained his high bar by saving a penalty from one of the best strikers in the world. Unfortunately, the rest of the team didn’t quite reach his level as they drew a blank against an uninspiring Poland side. Manager Gerardo Martino will not only be facing his home nation but also comes up against Messi, one of his former Barcelona players.
A victory could make or break the tournament both of these sides, Lionel Messi will be determined not to end his international career with a wimper while Mexico will be desperate to break their round of 16 curse. The Argentina vs Mexico live stream should not be missed.
