Sensations in Russia: Mexico brings down Germany on entry, Brazil and Argentina concede a draw!

0

This is the first big sensation of this World Cup. Mexico brought down Germany yesterday in Moscow for the entry into contention of the title holders (1-0). Hirving Lozano scored the only goal in a most intense game in which the two selections obtained a significant number of clear chances. “El Tri” is the biggest success in its history.

But where did the 2014 world champions go? Unrecognizable during the majority of the match, Germany bowed as soon as it entered the field, beaten by an attractive Mexico (0-1) yesterday in Moscow. Drunk by the relentless acceleration of El Tri, Joachim Löw's troop was not reassured, seeming far from its best level. The Central American nation could even have imposed itself more widely by being more correct in its counterattacks.

Germany therefore lost as soon as they entered the World Cup. This is a first since 1982 and its setback against Algeria (1-2). The then FRG had nevertheless reached the final.

Brazil and Argentina disappointing!

In the wake of the defeat of the German world champion against Mexico, this 2018 World Cup experienced another sensation last night in Rostov. Of course, Brazil has not lost. But for the first time in forty years, he did not win his first World Cup match either. Held in check by Switzerland (1-1), the Seleçao began its Russian campaign with a hitch. Not necessarily dramatic on the merits in this group E from which it has the means to emerge unscathed, but not reassuring on the form because, overall, the Brazilians have disappointed. As is Argentina, unable to dominate Iceland (1-1). Messi even missed a penalty.

You said hard, hard for the big names of this 2018 world!

Fortunately, the Blues provided the essential, last Saturday, against Australia! _AF
