Saudi Arabia and Mexico are playing each other in Doha on Wednesday. Mexico needs a win to have any hope of reaching the World Cup knockout rounds. Saudi Arabia stunned Argentina 2-1 in Lusail to open the tournament.

The Saudis have been the most fun team at the World Cup. Salem Al-Dawsari was very good in both games, but his missed penalty against Poland looms large. Mexico has not scored at this tournament so far and Raul Jimenez has only been used as a super sub. Hirving Lozano and Alexis Vega combined for just three shot attempts before being subbed out of the Poland loss.

Poland and Argentina are playing in a World Cup Group C match on Wednesday. Poland remains unbeaten in Qatar after beating Saudi Arabia 2-0 in Al Rayyan. Argentina beat Mexico 2 -0 to reach the knockout round. Saudi Saudi can still advance with a win over Mexico.

Argentina is playing a World Cup match against Mexico. Lionel Messi is the main storyline for this match. Lautaro Martinez and Paulo Dybala are yet to make their tournament debuts. Robert Lewandowski has a goal on his resume. Piotr Zielinski has been very good for Poland. Wojciech Szczesny was sensational in the win over Saudi Arabia.

Portugal and Uruguay play each other in the World Cup on Monday. Argentina qualified automatically from CONMEBOL. Lionel Scaloni's team won the qualification. Argentina has won two World Cups (1978 and 1986).

Bruno Fernandes is playing well with Ruben Neves. Uruguay's Luis Suarez has been here before. Rodrigo Betancur and Jose Maria Gimenez give La Celeste a chance at clean sheet every time they take the pitch.

Brazil and Switzerland play each other in the opening match of the World Cup. FIFA world No. 1 Brazil beat Serbia 2-0 in Lusail. Switzerland beat Cameroon 1- 0 to set up Monday's match. Uruguay have won the last two World Cups.

Brazil will not have Neymar for this match. Granit Xhaka will be one to watch as the Swiss try to balance a desire to get forward with the danger of doing so against a potent Brazil.
