Jakarta, CNN Indonesia

Argentina national team have the possibility of qualifying for the round of 16 World Cup 2022 against Poland, Thursday (1/12) early morning WIB. Here’s how Argentina qualified for the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup.

Argentina are now in second place in Group C for the 2022 World Cup with three points from two matches.

Lionel Messi and his friends will play a life or death match against Poland at the Education City Stadium on Thursday (1/12) early morning WIB. That match will determine Argentina’s fate in qualifying for the round of 16 or elimination from the 2022 World Cup.

Argentina has two ways to get to the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup. Lionel Scaloni’s team has never lost against Poland.

How Argentina qualifies for the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup:

1. To qualify for the round of 16 Argentina must win. Three points over Poland will automatically take Team Tango to the knockout stage.

With the addition of three points Argentina packs six points. Having six points will lift Argentina’s position to displace Poland, who are now top of Group C.

For the rest, Argentina just need to look at the results of the Saudi Arabia-Mexico match to determine the group winners and runners-up.

2. Getting a draw can also qualify Argentina for the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup. That point will change Argentina’s points to four.

But to qualify for the round of 16 with a draw against Poland, Argentina needs to see the result of the match between Saudi Arabia and Mexico.

Argentina can still reach the round of 16 with a draw against Poland, if Saudi Arabia fails to win against Mexico.

In the event of a tie between Saudi Arabia and Mexico, the Arab points with Argentina will be equal to four. But Argentina has a better goal difference. The goal difference will help Albiceleste reach the round of 16.

Likewise if Saudi Arabia loses. Argentina’s points with Mexico will be equal to four, but once again Argentina lead on goal difference over Mexico.
