Six teams have been in action, so far on day 3 of the FIFA World Cup 2022 and this edition of the tournament saw its first major upset. Argentina, the Copa America winner of 2021 was beaten 2-1 by Saudi Arabia in the first match of the day.

Following a draw between Mexico and Poland, Argentina, shockingly, finds itself at the bottom of the table, with Messi’s side the only team without a point in its group.

In Group D, a brace from Olivier Giroud and a goal each by Adrian Rabiot and Kylian Mbappe, saw defending champion France beat Australia 4-1 at the Al Janoub Stadium.
