An Argentine channel raised suspicions of collusion in the country’s match against Poland on Friday, in the final round of Group C of the 2022 World Cup.
The Argentine national team qualified at the top of their group after beating Poland with two goals to nil, and the goal difference gave Poland their second booking at the expense of Mexico, third with 4 points each, while Saudi Arabia she finished in fourth place.

And the Argentine channel “TYC” published a report on its website, during which he said: After Poland fell behind by two goals for nothing, tension started to rise between the Poles due to their position as qualifying, then Lionel Messi went to the bench and asked a question that was caught on cameras, and was answered by coach Lionel Scaloni, who got up from the bench to approach him.
And the report added: It is clear that the Argentine star was interested in the outcome of the match between Saudi Arabia and Mexico, and Mexico were then leading by two free goals.
And the channel said: When Messi asked about the state of the Polish national team, coach Scaloni replied to him by saying: “If we score another goal, they will be excluded. They don’t want more, they don’t want more.”
And the fears of the Polish national team calmed down after the goal scored by Salem Al-Dosari against Mexico as the score became 2-1, after which the Poles breathed a sigh of relief.
Argentina will face Australia in the round of 16, while Poland will face France.
