A good thing about Argentina's opening game being at 4 a.m.

It's the one game you know nothing of any interest is going to happen.

This is the Arsenal Vision World Cup Daily.

My name is Elliot's Mithi Kabakmi on Twitter, Yankee Gunner.

And here with me now, as he will be throughout the tournament, is Phil Costa.

You can find him on Twitter underscore Phil Costa. Hello, Phil Costa. Hello, Elliot. Quite a day. Quite a day. We've got to talk about here, which is, I guess, great for us. Quite a night, a day, a morning. And depending on where you live, all of those things combined. And I will say that Lewis Ambrose, who has been much hyped as being a part of this will be a part of this just as soon as he's feeling better. And of course, we wish him a speedy recovery so we can get on here and provide the kind of insight that pointedly, I cannot. So we look forward to that. Yeah, Phil, what we're going to do, by the way, if you're new to listening to these, each game will give a quick talking point, right? If you didn't see it, if you didn't see it, what's the main talking point?

We'll talk about a player who impressed, maybe a player who underwhelmed. At the end, we'll roll it up with some takeaways from where it leaves the group. Best goal, if there's one that we want a call out and a quick look ahead to the next day. And we'll try to do these. Not that I'm ripping

off a concept that ours blog invented called The 30, but he doesn't have a copyright on 30 minutes being a measure of time

as far as I'm aware he may. He may in fact have that. But we're going to try to keep these around

that time. So you can listen to him every day without seeing them pile up in your podcast inbox.

So, Phil, in terms of the first game of the day, it was 4 a.m. local time

for me. So I'll just love with you. I didn't get up to watch it. And I got no shame in saying

it. I wasn't expecting it to be anything interesting. But it was interesting indeed. And it

wasn't just that Saudi Arabia won. Saudi Arabia was

behind. A Leonel Messi penalty gives Argentina the 1-0 advantage. Saudi Arabia goes on to win at 2-1.

What is the talking point other than just, wow, what a shock? I mean, yeah, we've witnessed history.

You know, I mean, in terms of World Cup upsets, it's a huge one and probably the biggest one I've seen in my lifetime, one that I can remember.

I mean, you know, Saudi Arabia are outside of the top 50.

They're ranked 51st in the world. It's their first

World Cup in 28 years. Sorry, first World Cup win in 28 years. So, you know, it's the first

big shock of the tournament. And as shocks go, this is probably the most seismic.

You know, this is a seven or eight or even a nine on the Richter scale.
