Poland and Argentina surely didn't plan to reach the marquee match of World Cup Group C with their knockout round status in doubt, but it's been that kind of tournament in Qatar.
Poland remains unbeaten in Qatar after beating Saudi Arabia 2-0 in Al Rayyan, adding to the point it earned from a scoreless draw with Mexico In Doha to give it top billing in the group heading into Wednesday's match.

Argentina, meanwhile, rebounded from a 2-1 tournament-opening loss to Saudi Arabia In Lusail to bear Mexico 2-0 behind a goal and an assist from Lionel Messi.
Saudi Arabia's three points means it can still advance with a win over Mexico, who itself can add to its one point. So everyone's alive in Group C.

Key storylines, players to watch closely
The storyline for every Argentina game this tournament from this point forward - and really since the lead-up to the Mexico match - is that any loss means the end of Lionel Messi's World Cup career (at least according to the living legend). The Albiceleste would be thrilled to get something more out of Lautaro Martinez, while Paulo Dybala's yet to make his tournament debut.
Robert Lewandowski finally has a World Cup goal on his resume, while Piotr Zielinski has been very good for Poland. Former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was sensational in the win over Saudi Arabia.
