This should be without too much trouble. Down to the bone, one could say in the stands. There are just a few hours left for another “final” of the Argentina national team, now with Poland and for the third round of Group C. First key assessment, standings: 1st Poland: 4 points (+2) – 2nd Argentina: 3 points (+1) – 3rd Saudi Arabia: 3 points (-1) – 4th Mexico: 1 point (-2).

If Argentina wins, they qualify for the round of 16, e They would only be runners-up should Saudi Arabia outscore Mexico by four goals or more. But the shock of the first round, with Argentina’s 1-2 defeat by the Arabs, rattled the peloton and in such a short match immediately set off the alarms.

Consequently, there are several possible scenarios for what happens this Wednesday from 16:00, with the two simultaneous crossings: those of Messi and Cía. against Robert Lewandowski’s team and Mexico against Arabia. That means…

Scenario 1: If Argentina beat Poland and Mexico beat Saudi Arabia, ranks first.

Scenario 2: If Argentina beats Poland and Saudi Arabia draws with Mexico, ranks first.

Scenario 3: If Argentina beats Poland and Saudi Arabia beats Mexico, both are classified and the leaders will be defined by the goal difference (for now Scaloni has +1 and Renard -1).

Scenario 4: If Argentina draws with Poland and Mexico draws with Saudi, runner up.

Scenario 5: If Argentina draw with Poland and Mexico beat Saudi Arabia by three goals or fewer, runner up.

Scenario 6: If Argentina draw with Poland and Mexico beat Saudi Arabia by more than three goals, it is removed.

Scenario 7: If Argentina draws with Poland and Saudi Arabia beats Mexico, it is removed.

Scenario 1: If Argentina loses to Poland, it is removed.

For the start time of the match, the group that will meet Argentina in the round of 16 will already be defined. France, Australia, Denmark and Tunisia. With the world champion already classified, but still with issues to resolve.

But as Lionel Scaloni said, “First you have to qualify, then we’ll see who you play against.”
