[1/2] Nov 22, 2022; Lusail, Qatar; Argentina forward Lionel Messi (10) plays the ball against Saudi Arabia during a group stage match during the 2022 World Cup at Lusail Stadium. Yet he and his disconsolate team might take heart from 32 years ago when Argentina began the World Cup in Italy with a shock loss to Cameroon but still went on to reach the final. Of course," said former Argentina defender Pablo Zabaleta, citing the 1990 run, although the South Americans were to lose that final to West Germany. 'DO IT FOR MESSI, MARADONA'Coach Lionel Scaloni sent out the same signal.

But the Argentine captain was overshadowed by arguably the biggest upset in World Cup history and, as Saudi Arabia celebrated its win, Messi trudged down the tunnel with a face of thunder. The seven-time Ballon d’Or, who has yet to lift the World Cup trophy, didn’t hide from the embarrassment though. At the final whistle, the Argentine fans were slumped in their seats and it was the Saudi supporters chanting Messi’s name ironically. Saudi Arabia faces Poland in its next game before playing Mexico.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Wednesday warned oil and gas companies against increasing prices for consumers as Hurricane Ian neared landfall along Florida’s southwest coast. There are few signs that average gas prices have jumped significantly in Florida as the hurricane began to approach. A 99-day run of falling pump prices nationally ended recently, and the 14-week decline was the longest streak since 2015. A spokeswoman for the American Petroleum Institute, an oil industry group, said the industry is focused on “delivering fuels where they are needed most while ensuring the safety of our workforce” during the hurricane. Ian grew to a catastrophic Category 4 hurricane overnight with top winds of 155 mph (250 kph), according to the National Hurricane Center.
