As upsets come, it may not get much bigger than the shocker we saw on Day Three of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The day started with a huge upset — one of the biggest in tournament history — as Saudi Arabia stunned Argentina to shock the tournament into life.
Few football fans would have heard of Saleh Al-Shehri and Salem Al-Dawsari before this match, but they stunned La Albiceleste and earned their whole country a national holiday, as they struck with a pair of goals to win it 2-1.
Poland then couldn’t find a way past Mexico in a 0-0 draw, the same scoreline we saw between Denmark and Tunisia.
In the final match of the day, injury-hit France made light work of Australia, and despite going a goal behind, Olivier Giroud bagged twice in a 4-1 win.
Will we see another shock on Day Four with the likes of Germany, Spain and Belgium all in action?
