World Cup 2022 has produced its first shock result.
Argentina, one of the pre-tournament favourites, have gone down 1-2 to relative minnows Saudi Arabia. Lionel Messi may have become the first Argentinian to score in four World Cups, but it’s most certainly an afternoon to forget for the little magician.
As you can imagine, Twitter is going nuts right now.
