Argentina reached the 1/8 finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, despite the defeat of Saudi Arabia. and with the victory over Poland, there were several coincidences with the 1986 World Cup, the last of which albicelesta lifted with Diego Maradona in the lead.
The first piece of information that concerns the Argentines is that the last time Poland reached the round of 16 was at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, where Diego Armando Maradona won the trophy as champion with Argentina.
Another coincidence is that the last time Argentina and Poland met was in the group stage of the 1978 World Cup. and the victory was also 2-0. At that World Cup, the Argentina national team became champions against the Netherlands with goals from Mario Kempes.
And another fact that is encouraging is that the last time Australia qualified for the round of 16 in Germany in 2006, they lost to Italy. the team that eventually became champions of the tournament against France.
Morocco are one draw away from getting through to the round of 16, a milestone they only achieved at the World Cup, which ended with Diego Maradona cup in hand.
