But Saudi Arabia won against the current champions, Argentina. That might give them a boost in the selection process.

It was perhaps the most unexpected result during Qatar 2022. No one expected Argentina to go down against Saudi Arabia, and that too in their first match. But to their credit, Argentina recovered well, and never lost another match in the tournament. Saudi Arabia on the other hand failed to qualify for the round of 16. But then, the edition of 2022 was full of surprises. Brazil lost to Cameroon, France lost to Tunisia, Germany lost to Japan and so on. I just hope that in 2026 also we will be able to witness similar upsets.

In football, we can usually see many unexpecting results like this one between Argentina and Saudi Arabia because Saudi Arabia is not even the strongest team in Asia, and even the Saudi Arabia fans were waiting for the team take to have another result and a draw but they won and we saw other results like this one Germany lost to Japan and that's one good thing we usually see in the world cups, not spring to see these results again in 2026 world cup.

This is common in football, especially if it is a big match at the World Cup, not only the match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia gave many surprises, but many matches ended with scores that were not predicted beforehand. These surprising things are the main attraction in the world of football, no matter how far the difference between the two teams that are competing, if they are unlucky they will get defeat. But we will see in the end that Argentina can still get up and then come out as champions in the World Cup.

It's really funny that you are still discussing the Saudi Arabia vs Argentina match. I think Saudi Arabia won that match, it was lucky for them, after Saudi Arabia secured the win, they humiliated Argentina in a big way. In the end, we saw Argentina become the world champion and Saudi Arabia did not exist in the World Cup.
