“Lewandowski and Co. should thank Saudi Arabia”: Tomsk residents are disappointed with the Poland-Argentina match

At the World Cup in Qatar on the night of December 1, the Argentina national team beat Poland and reached the playoffs of the World Cup.

Group C meeting ended with the score 2:0. Alexis McAllister scored (46th minute) and Julian Alvarez (67th). In the 39th minute, Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny saved a 11-meter kick from Lionel Messi.

Messi made his 22nd World Cup appearance and broke Diego Maradona’s national record of 21 matches.

Tomichi, due to the time difference, who watched the meeting late at night, are disappointed with the Polish-Argentine duel.

Tomic Igor said that he wanted to enjoy the confrontation between the two captains – Messi and Lewandowski, but there was no fight on the field.

“I think that the duel of the stars did not work out. But the battle between the two teams did not happen either, only one played – Argentina. Messi did not score a penalty, but gave out several passes, of which, alas, no goals came out, but he dragged the team forward as best he could” , – Igor shared his vision of the match.

Another fan from Tomsk, Alexander, said that the Polish team, from his point of view, was not on the field.

“The Polish national team, together with their captain, showed nothing at all. They “were not” on the field! If not for the goalkeeper of the Poles, Wojciech Szczesny, who made several amazing saves, including Messi’s repulsed penalty, the score could have been bigger” Alexander said.

Ekaterina Tomichka says that she has been following Lewandowski’s career for a long time and really hoped to see high-quality football in his performance in the match.

“The wonderful guy Robert just disappointed me. Moreover, I think that Lewandowski and Co. should thank the Saudi Arabia team for scoring a saving goal for the Poles against Mexico. My opinion: in such a game, Poland did not deserve a place in the playoffs !!! I am sure that they will not go far,” Ekaterina gave her forecast.

The Argentina national team scored 6 points and from the first place in the group advanced to the playoffs of the tournament. The Polish team finished second with 4 points and also qualified for the 1/8 finals. Australia will face Argentina in the round of 16. The Poles will play against the current world champions of the French.
