Hervé Renard has backed Argentina to advance from the group
stage and further clinch their third World Cup in Qatar Renard embellished his
renowned international football résumé masterminding Saudi Arabia's
greatest-ever result Up next for Renard's Saudi Arabia is a tie against Poland,
who shared the spoils with Mexico while Argentina lock horns with El Tri
Arabia manager Hervé Renard has tipped Argentina to win the
2022 World Cup in Qatar despite their opening-day loss. Hervé Renard
masterminded Argentina's first defeat in 36 matches with a stunning 2-1 victory
at the Lusail Stadium on Tuesday, November 22. Renard's mammoth feat against
one of the front runners of this year's Mundial ensured Saudi Arabia became the
first non-European nation to beat La Albiceleste in the history of the
tournament, as noted by Sky Sports.
Following the end of the game, the Saudi manager reckoned
Argentina's opening day slump against his side is only a blip and even tipped
them to win the tournament.
"Argentina are going to advance out of the group stage
and will be champions," via Olé as quoted by Roy Nemer. Messi speaks after
shocking defeat Lionel Messi has called on his side to be "more united
than ever" as he insists his country has no excuses after a shock defeat
to Saudi Arabia in their World Cup opener on Tuesday. Saudi Arabia produced the
upset of the World Cup after coming from behind to claim a famous 2-1 victory
over a nation considered one of the favourites to win this edition of the
global spectacle.
The shock result leaves Argentina needing a positive result
against Mexico and Poland to stand any chance of making it out of the group
stages, and Messi is all too aware of this fact. Saudi Arabia announces public
holiday Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Saudi Arabia has declared Wednesday,
November 23 as a public holiday after its historic FIFA World Cup victory over
pre-tournament favourites Argentina.
The Green Falcons of Saudi Arabia stunned two-time world
champions Argentina with a 2-1 comeback victory that will go down as one of the
greatest-ever upsets in the history of the World Cup. Lionel Messi put La
Albiceleste in front after just 10 minutes and had three goals disallowed for
offside, but Saleh Al-Shehri and Salem Al-Dawsari struck in the space of five
second-half minutes to turn the game on its head.
