AL RAYYAN, Qatar (Reuters) - Argentina on Tuesday issued a warning to Poland ahead of their final World Cup Group C match on Wednesday, saying they may have slipped and stumbled through their first two group matches but have yet to hit peak form.
The two-time world champions had to rely on superstar Lionel Messi to keep their qualification hopes alive following their stunning 2-1 defeat at the hands of low-ranked Saudi Arabia.
"Everything comes down to details," Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez said on Tuesday."We saw it with Messi's goal. Before that the match was very tight." A draw could potentially also be enough for the South Americans too if Mexico and Saudi Arabia also end level.
