World Cup
3.5 years undefeated. Argentina’s incredible streak ends at 2022 World Cup
The Argentina national team had an incredible 36-game winning streak before the World Cup started, and the last defeat was in the summer of 2019.
Since then, Lionel Scaloni’s team has been undefeated with 25 wins and 11 draws, but on Tuesday the team lost in a sensational 1:2 score to Saudi Arabia in the first round of the 2022 World Cup.
In the group of the Argentina national team, apart from Saudi Arabia, Poland and Mexico play, so it will definitely not be easy for the South American team.
Saudi Arabia ended Argentina’s 36-game unbeaten streak in the opening game of the 2022 World Cup. 🇸🇦
