This happens when you are too much dependent on a single player. Karim is also one of key player for real madrid but France must not have too much dependency on him. Now since Karim is out from this Cup france chances of making it to next round are now too slim. This should not be the case.

We think it is appropriate for a coach to rely on Karim Benzema, he is the best European player who is so mature in football, so his contribution and presence is very important in the squad, especially since France has a mission to defend the World Cup. But that doesn't mean that other players are ignored and underestimated, many French players have been injured, so their task this time will be very tough, even though they have many substitutes.

What just happened?

Saudi Arabia never thought in their wildest dream that they would defeat Argentina in the world cup. This might be one of the biggest upset in this world cup. Messi magic did not work at all. A defeat by the Arab team might harm Argentina moral in the upcoming game.

What a win by Saudis they were in control of the ball throughout the second half. I felt they were more accurate in their pass and coordination than the Argentine team. Good to see a new country raising it rank in this world cup.

Argentina was frustrated with the offside trap from a defender from Saudi Arabia, at least 10 offside traps were carried out well and canceled two goals from Argentina, besides that we also saw Argentina being too cool to attack, leaving a void resulting in the process of two goals from Saudi Arabia.
In the second half, Saudi Arabia played a bit more open than the first half, even though statistically Argentina were very dominant in possession. A good strategy was implemented by coach Herve Renard, although many people consider this victory to be good luck for Saudi Arabia.
