Let’s deny the god of football and fall into the fire of Argentina’s peons. He saved everything, Wojciech Szczesny. Once (at the start, to warm up, in a very difficult shot by Leo Messi), the second (deceptively: directly from Di Maria’s corner), the third (asking Alvarez to raise his hands to stop him), and even the fourth. , the most difficult: The penalty is like this for hitting Messi himself, who was expected to go out.

To guide the recall, the Juventus goalkeeper had the push of millions of fansCertainly not those in Stadium 974 (there was no match in the stands), but those sitting in front of the TV, asked for compensation for what seemed a half-injustice: he gave it to them, going to update his impressive statistics, saving 26 penalties in 86, the third goalkeeper to win two in one edition of the World Cup ( The others are American Brad Friedel and another Pole, Jan Tomaszewski). The specialty of the house against Arabia.

A detail that will prove fundamental to Poland’s qualification will be decided by goal difference. “Happy to save Messi’s penalty – his words -, we need luck, I enjoy the moment. However, with France, more is needed, this time we cannot defend as we did. But to be precise, Messi can be mocked, and nothing can be done on the diagonal.

Now everything will change because he is the game breaker And to get Australia in the round of 16 easily. At the first call to the national team, Messi intervened to defend him: everyone called him “El Colo”, the red one, given his Irish origin, he didn’t like it, God forbid. Mac Allister is the winning entry: he wasn’t there for the defeat against Arabia, which was one of the reproaches leveled at Scaloni.

By eye the place is now assured to us. as well as Julian Alvarez, 21, took his place from Lautaro Martinez yesterday.. Julien (nicknamed “Spider” because he looks like he has more than two legs when he plays) is a well-known talent, already married to City, it’s true, but could be a dedication to the World Cup. Certainly more inspired than Toro, he scored a brilliant speed goal from a pass by Mexico’s hero, 21-year-old Enzo Fernandez. Puns for short means until yesterday.

Ps: The “old” Szczesny then restarted by solving them all, including a low shot with a sure shot by Messi. However, in the end, they were able to celebrate together.
