The miraculous victory of the Saudis over Argentina put them in a position where they can hope for another miracle at this World Cup, which is the placement in the next phase. For that to happen, they need a win in the match against Mexico with a favorable result in the match between Poland and Argentina. In the event that Poland loses, and the Saudis win their match, they will advance to the next stage of the competition. All this is one big IF, but miracles are not impossible and if they were able to beat the mighty Argentina, who can guarantee that the Saudis can't pull off another big surprise? I got the impression that they won the hearts of many neutral fans at this World Cup, with their great fighting spirit and sacrifice in the game on both sides of the field. The great advantage of this team is the great coordination. As many as seven first-team players play for the same team, Al-Hilal, and know each other very well, which was best seen in the match against Argentina. As many as 7 times in the first half, they successfully caught the Argentinians in the offside trap, which is truly incredible data. Since the Mexicans also have a lot of fast players, there is a great possibility that they will try with passes behind the defense to get to the goal of Saudi Arabia, but they must be careful of the extremely coordinated defense of the Saudis. There are a lot of factors that can be decisive for the final outcome of this match, which favor Saudi Arabia. The playing conditions in Qatar are certainly closer to them than to the Mexicans, they will certainly have huge support from the stands, and we must not forget their coach, Herve Renard, who, in addition to being an excellent expert, is a very good motivator. We could see his half-time speech against Argentina which made it impossible not to get chills. Saudi may have gotten a reality check in the match with Poland, but they still believe in miracles. Al Dawsari left the biggest impression on me personally and I expect that he will be the best player of his team in this match as well.

As for Mexico, nothing other than victory in this match is going in their favor. Even a draw means they are eliminated from the competition. They surely need a win here, and like Saudi Arabia, they need a favorable outcome in the other fixture in the group too. In general, so far they have shown the game below all expectations. They did not score a single goal in the two games played and that is certainly not encouraging before the decisive match in the group. As I already mentioned, they have extremely fast players and quite logically they use it to the maximum. The greatest danger from their team will certainly come from the excellent Hirving Lozano, but he will have to count on the serious support of his teammates if they want to do something more in this match. The fact that Ochoa is in goal, who when he plays for his national team, becomes one of the best goalkeepers in the world, has certainly been providing enormous security to the team for years. But despite all the qualities he undeniably possesses, one of his biggest flaws, at least in my opinion, is his lack of height. For goalkeepers, height and a wide range of arms are very important, which was perhaps best seen in the match against Argentina. Although both goals scored by the Argentines were very nice, I don't think those shots would have been converted into goals so easily if the goalkeeper was taller than Ochoa. To summarize, both teams will certainly want to win this match, but I expect a certain amount of safe play from both teams and maybe only in the second half will we see a game in which both teams will go all or nothing. According to many, Mexico is the favorite in this match, but even if they win, I'm not so sure that it will be by more than one goal difference.

沙特队对阿根廷队的奇迹般的胜利让他们有希望在本届世界杯上再创造一个奇迹，也就是下一阶段的出线。要做到这一点，他们需要在对阵墨西哥的比赛中取得胜利，并在对阵波兰和阿根廷的比赛中取得有利的结果。如果波兰输球，沙特赢得比赛，他们将晋级下一阶段的比赛。所有这一切都是一个大大的假设，但奇迹并非不可能，如果他们能够击败强大的阿根廷队，谁能保证沙特人不会再制造另一个大惊喜呢?我的印象是，在本届世界杯上，他们以伟大的战斗精神和在赛场两侧的牺牲赢得了许多中立球迷的心。这支球队最大的优点是协调能力强。在同一支球队阿尔希拉尔(Al-Hilal)效力的一线队队员多达7人，他们彼此非常了解，这在与阿根廷队的比赛中表现得最为明显。在上半场，他们有多达7次成功地抓住阿根廷人的越位陷阱，这真是令人难以置信的数据。因为墨西哥人也有很多速度快的球员，他们很有可能会尝试在防守后传球到达沙特阿拉伯的球门，但他们必须小心沙特人极其协调的防守。有很多因素可以决定这场比赛的最终结果，有利于沙特阿拉伯。卡塔尔的比赛条件当然比墨西哥更接近他们，他们肯定会得到看台上的巨大支持，我们不能忘记他们的教练，埃尔韦·雷纳德，他除了是一个优秀的专家，也是一个非常好的激励者。我们可以看到他在对阵阿根廷的中场演讲，这让我们不可能不感到不寒而栗。沙特也许在与波兰的比赛中得到了现实的检验，但他们仍然相信奇迹。达沙里给我个人留下了最深刻的印象，我希望他在这场比赛中也能成为球队中最好的球员。

至于墨西哥队，除了这场比赛的胜利，没有什么对他们有利。即使是平局也意味着他们被淘汰出局。他们当然需要一场胜利，就像沙特阿拉伯一样，他们也需要在小组的另一场比赛中取得有利的结果。总的来说，到目前为止，他们的表现低于所有人的预期。他们在两场比赛中一球未进，这在小组赛的决定性比赛之前肯定不令人鼓舞。正如我已经提到的，他们有速度极快的球员，而且很有逻辑地他们将速度发挥到极致。他们球队最大的威胁肯定来自于出色的洛萨诺，但如果他们想在这场比赛中做得更多，他必须依靠队友们的认真支持。奥乔亚是守门员，当他为国家队效力时，他成为了世界上最好的门将之一，这无疑为球队多年来提供了巨大的安全感。但是，尽管他拥有所有不可否认的品质，他最大的缺点之一，至少在我看来，是他不够高。对于守门员来说，身高和宽臂是非常重要的，这一点在对阵阿根廷的比赛中得到了最好的体现。虽然阿根廷人的两个进球都很漂亮，但如果守门员比奥乔亚高的话，我不认为这些射门会那么容易转化为进球。总而言之，两队肯定都想赢得这场比赛，但我预计两队都有一定的安全发挥，也许只有在下半场我们才会看到两队要么全赢要么全输的比赛。很多人都认为，墨西哥队是这场比赛的夺冠热门，但即使他们赢了，我也不确定比分会不会超过1个净胜球。
