What Messi’s Argentina Need to Qualify for Round of 16

FIFA World Cup 2022, Football, News, Sports, World

Argentina was one of the favorites to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup. However, in their first game, they were shocked by a 1-2 loss to Saudi Arabia. La Albiceleste had a hard time against Mexico for most of the game until Lionel Messi scored with a great shot in the second half. Enzo Fernandez also scored a great goal for Argentina, making the score 2-0. With the win, Argentina moved up to the second spot in Group C. Poland, which has won two games and tied for one, still has the top spot thanks to its two wins and one draw. As the last round of Group Stage games starts, the Group C teams’ chances of qualifying are a little strange.

Poland, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico are all still in the running for the two spots in the Round of 16. Here’s how it works to get into the Round of 16:

Poland: As the top team, Poland will advance whether they beat Argentina or not. If the team led by Robert Lewandowski wins, they will get the spot as the group winners. If they tie, it will be up to the game between Saudi Arabia and Mexico to decide who gets the spot.

Poland can move on even if they lose, but Mexico would have to beat Saudi Arabia for that to happen. If Saudi Arabia and Mexico played to a draw, the qualification scenario would depend on the number of goals scored.

Argentina: A win guarantees that Argentina will move on to the Round of 16, but a tie will do if Saudi Arabia and Mexico also end in a tie. If Mexico beats Saudi Arabia by a big margin and Argentina only gets a draw against Poland, Lionel Messi’s team will be eliminated.

Argentina will be out of the World Cup if they lose.

Saudi Arabia: Only behind Argentina in terms of the number of goals scored, Saudi Arabia will advance if they beat Mexico. If Saudi Arabia gets a tie, Poland would have to beat Argentina or lose by a lot for them to win.

If the Middle Eastern team lost, they would be out of the tournament.

Mexico: Since Mexico only has one point, their chances of making it to the next round aren’t very good. Not only do they have to beat Saudi Arabia, but they also need Poland to beat Argentina. If Poland and Argentina tie, it would come down to the number of goals scored by Argentina and Mexico.
