After suffering one of the biggest World Cup upsets of all time, Argentina have to dust themselves down and go again as they look to kick-start their tournament against Mexico on Saturday.

When Lionel Messi stroked in a penalty after 10 minutes, it seemed as though his side were on their way to a routine victory in the Group C opener but Saudi Arabia had other ideas – producing a phenomenally gutsy display to turn the tables and claim a 2-1 win that was celebrated back home with two national holidays.

There was a concerning lack of urgency from Messi and everyone in blue and white but the good news is that five past tournament winners have done so after losing their first game of the group stages, including Argentina themselves in 1982.

Mexico were the better of the sides in their goalless draw with Poland in the other Group C opener but lacked cutting edge – something they'll need to find if they're to get a result that would be a massive boost to their hopes of making the knockout stages.

All eyes will be on Argentina, however, to see how they can bounce back from Tuesday's stunning defeat.
