Were you expecting him not to start before?
He is their Messi and i wish they will draw the match today so as for Argentina to have hope of staying second by the last group game. And i wish Saudi will never win another match unless if it will favour Argentina.

But no big worries as Spain won in 2010 despite starting with a loss, and Germany won the World cup aswell in 2014 also started with a loss.
History will repeat itself this time.
