LONDON: The biggest of World Cup shocks paid out for at least one prescient punter who correctly predicted Saudi Arabia would stun Lionel Messi's Argentina 2-1 in their opening match in Qatar on Tuesday (Nov 22).
BUENOS AIRES : Argentines woke up early in the capital Buenos Aires to cheer on their team in the soccer World Cup over morning pastries and coffee, but were left with a bitter taste after the team was humbled in a shock loss to Saudi Arabia.
LUSAIL, Qatar : Saudi Arabia coach Herve Renard is no stranger to success during a nomadic coaching career spanning two decades but will now forever be remembered as the man who masterminded one of the greatest World Cup shocks of all time.
Gasps gave way to stony expressions of disbelief and then tears as Argentina fans gathered in Buenos Aires watched the humiliation of their football team unfold at the World Cup in Qatar.

Saudi Arabia's French coach Herve Renard warned his players not to celebrate for too long after their "totally crazy" 2-1 win against Argentina in their World Cup opener on Tuesday.
AL RAYYAN, Qatar: Tunisia held European Championship semifinalist Denmark to a 0-0 draw Tuesday at the World Cup. Coming three hours after Saudi Arabia beat Argentina in a shocking upset — and before a stadium filled almost entirely with Tunisia supporters — it was another big result for two of the four Arab nations competing at the first World Cup in the Middle East.
Lionel Messi said Argentina's shock loss to Saudi Arabia was a "very heavy blow" but vowed the South American champions would bounce back from the defeat.
