Yesterday, Saudi Arabia shocked the whole world by defeating Argentina in their first match of FIFA 2022, Qatar. The Middle Eastern team won the game 2-1 and claimed the top place in Group C. Saying that fans were shocked, would be a big understatement. Saudi Arabian fans went crazy as they couldn’t believe the major upset. Lionel Messi and Argentinian fans are hoping that their team repeats the Spain 2010 magic and wins the whole tournament. 

The match was full of notable events, from disallowed goals to physicality. Fans were so crazy during and after the match as they celebrated outside the stadium and trolled some Argentinian fans along the way.

Fan reactions were all over the place

Twitter fans were divided, some were trolling Argentina, some were congratulating Saudi Arabia, and some felt bad for Lionel Messi. This might be the last World Cup for the Argentinian magician. Here are a few fan reactions

Argentina scored 1 goal on a penalty by Lionel Messi in the 10th minute of the game. Apart from that first half went goalless, and the score stood at 1-0 in the favor of the South American giants.

Saudi Arabia started the 2nd half with a goal when Saleh Alshehri scored in the 48th minute of the game and tied the score. They quickly followed up by scoring the second goal in the 53rd minute. Salem Aldawsari scored the match-winning goal from Saudi Arabia.

Had Lionel Messi in his pocket

A YouTuber named AJ Shabeel confused the whole Twitter as he posted a photo of a Saudi Arabian player on the field and captioned, “First game for my country and had Messi in my pocket.” It wasn’t him, but many were triggered and started targeting him for being arrogant.

While fans failed to do the due diligence and start targeting Shabeel and Saudi Arabia, a sane twitter user did try to bring everyone to the light saying he is just some YouTuber.

While another fan cleared the air by saying, “This guy is not even a Saudi, he is from Somalia… he is pretending, the real player is Yasser Alshahrani.”

World Cup is in 5th Gear and we have new stories from on and off the field. Fans are hoping that Argentina will bounce back. Let’s wait for the 27th when they are going to face Mexico.
