I don't celebrate, I was surprised by the favourites underperforming this bad. And I enjoyed good match.
Argentina had Messi for 15 years and they never won World Cup. Ahead of this one, they talked about it being (his) last chance and everything coming together for them, team atmosphere, maturity, calmness, etc so they were kinda invoking Ivanišević 2001 Wimbledon spirit or at least they hoped for it.
Yet they got hammered like this.
And it was not a freak loss, Arabs played well and goals were fantastic.
And your Spain 2010 example is kinda bad, Spain was at the top of their game, one of the peakest football teams in history, facing a tough early round opponent, and they easily bounced back.
In short, when Spain lost their opening, it felt like Nadal losing first set in FO opener.
When Argentina lost this one, it's more like Sampras losing first set in FO opener.
Maybe I am overly dramatic, and I might be proven wrong, they could still easily advance the group, but I don't see them among top faves anymore.
