There have been some really strong challenges in the game so far. Saudi Arabia aren't here just to make the numbers up.

Better from Saudi Arabia as they work the ball well down the right. Saud Abdulhamid then plays a low ball towards the near post but Emi Martinez is alert to the danger and smothers it.

Why are we still talking about Maguire's non-penalty? Maguire had his hands on the defender first, pulls him down, defender had his arms around Harry so England fans scream penalty. Learn the rules.

Saudi Arabia have a free just inside the Argentina half. Salman Al Faraj floats the ball into the box but the South Americans are able to clear.

This is a game where if you want to be the Golden Boot winner, Lionel Messi will be thinking about filling his boots.

A great ball from deep to Angel di Maria out wide but he takes his eye off the ball for a brief moment and the ball bounces out of play.
Di Maria, like Lionel Messi, is also likely playing in his final World Cup.

I am struggling with that penalty. There is contact, but there isn't loads of contact. It is just the consistency.
Argentina 1-0 Saudi Arabia
What do Saudi Arabia do now? Go for it to try and make Argentina uncomfortable or enter damage limitation mode? They are on the attack at the moment.
Argentina 1-0 Saudi Arabia
Each of Lionel Messi's last four World Cup goals have come in the first half of games, with his first three coming in the second half. Bodes well for Argentina.

Harry Maguire didn't get his penalty for England yesterday, but Argentina are awarded one in very similar circumstances today.
How calm was Messi though?

Please explain how that's a penalty but the England one wasn't? It wasn't even looked at.

Was it ever in doubt? You looked at his face and he was very confident. He didn't even run up to it, he just ambled up. It is a fantastic penalty.

There was hardly any pace on the ball but he was just waiting for the goalkeeper to move. It is as easy as you like.

Lionel Messi is up and running!
Ice cold from the forward as he waits for the goalkeeper to commit and rolls the ball into the opposite corner.

The consistency so far in the World Cup has been a joke.
The Harry Maguire one from yesterday was much worse.

It probably is a foul, but the bar seems to have been moved because Harry Maguire was absolutely wrestled to the ground.

The referee awards the penalty for pushing inside the box and the chance for Argentina to make the perfect start to this game!

... Lionel Messi sends the ball into the box from the free kick. There's some pushing and shoving and the referee is going to have a look at the monitor...

Now Argentina have a free kick.
