Herve Renard acknowledged Saudi Arabia benefited from an off day for Argentina in their crazy World Cup win.
Saudi Arabia came from behind to sensationally shock the South American champions 2-1 in their Group C opener at Lusail Stadium on Tuesday.

If we conceded a second goal, I think this game is finished, said Saudi Arabia coach Renard, adding he was not happy with the first-half display from his team.
The determination was not good, he said. At a World Cup, you have to give everything, because we cannot play how we played in the first half.
After the break, however, Saudi Arabia caught the Albiceleste out twice in quick succe…

Rangers manager Michael Beale warned they had arrived in Switzerland to attack Servette rather than hold on to their first-leg lead.
Two early goals at Ibrox set Beale’s side up for a 2-1 advantage in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, although Rangers were frustrated to concede from a penalty and fail to score against 10 men after a 59th-minute red card for the visitors.
Servette have drawn all three of their home games this season, including against Genk in the second round, and only lost once at the Stade de Geneve in the Swiss Super League last term.
But Beale has targeted a second-leg win to make sure there is no doubt about Rangers’ progress.
A play-off against either PSV Eindhoven or Sturm Graz awaits the winners with the Dutch…
