Saudi Arabia beats Leo Messi’s Argentina 2-1 in one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history.
. Thousands of Saudi fans were seen on social media dancing, banging drums and singing after the match in the Doha sunshine.
The South Americans weren't just beaten, they comprehensively outplayed by a team known as the Green Falcons, few of whom are well-known outside their homeland except to the most committed soccer followers. For Messi, one of the most recognizable faces in the sports world who is almost certainly playing in his last World Cup, the defeat raises the possibility that he could end his career without winning the prestigious tournament — one of the few achievements he has yet to conquer.
For Argentina, the defeat brought back memories of their 1-0 defeat to a spirited Cameroon in the 1990 World Cup in Italy, then led by another storied megastar, Diego Maradona.
