2022 World Cup scores, takeaways: Argentina should not panic, France fine without stars, goalkeepers shine.

France beat Australia 4-1 in their opening game. Kylian Mbappe scored one goal and Olivier Giroud two. They are without Paul Pogba, Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante. They have 23 shots and seven on target. The scoreline could have been worse for Australia.

Argentina lost 1-0 to Saudi Arabia. Messi is worried about the future of the team. Argentina has not lost in three years. They play Mexico next. They have no margin for error the rest of this group. Rodrigo de Paul, Leandro Paredes and Nahuel Molina played poorly. There will be changes in the starting XI for the next game. It could be a chance to see Alexis Mac Allister create in attack. If they don't win, they could crash out. The team is led by former manager Tata Martino.

Meme Ochoa and Mohammed Al Yami were outstanding in goal for Mexico and Saudi Arabia respectively. They helped their teams to earn a point.
