| In this group Poland are leading with 4 points. Czeslaw Michniewicz's team manage to drew 0-0 vs Mexico in the first game and then win 2-0 against Saudi Arabia with the help from goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, who made several great saves. Argentina had to lead the group if wasn't the surprising loss against the Saudis. In their second game Albiceleste won 2-0 vs Mexico. The favorite role is of course clearly divided before kick-off. The Albiceleste were not only favorites but they have their claims to win even the World Cup. Led by superstar Robert Lewandowski, Poland have a few other strong offensive players like Piotr Zielinski, who has already created three chances for his teammates. Defensively, they are also difficult to crack, led by veteran Kamil Glik. They haven't conceded a goal yet. Lionel Scaloni's team could not show such a stable defense recently. Even the good performance by the defense led by Otamendi against Mexico in the second group game there were still offensive problems in many places. The first goal shot by Argentina came in the 40th minute of the game. In general, the encounter with Mexico was very tough. There were only nine shots on goal in the entire game. |
