All eyes will be on Lionel Messi and his Argentina side tomorrow as they look to turn around a dreadful start to the World Cup.

Argentina was humiliated when they threw away the lead to lose 2-1 to Saudi Arabia in their opening Group G match at the World Cup.

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, who has yet to lift the World Cup trophy, didn’t hide from the embarrassment of Argentina’s defeat.

When asked about the team’s morale Messi replied: “Dead.”

It is not the first time that Argentina have lost their opening game unexpectedly.

In 1990, Argentina was on the receiving end of one of the greatest shocks in World Cup history, losing to Cameroon.

Because Mexico and Poland drew, it is not quite do-or-die yet for Messi and Argentina, but they cannot afford to lose again if they want to progress from the group.

Argentina will face Mexico tomorrow morning at 7am.
