Consuming, astounding noise, long a pillar of global soccer, made its first assault on the eardrums and the goose bumps on Tuesday at this nascent World Cup, Chuck Culpepper writes.
And from the outset, the futuristic Lusail Stadium, the biggest of the eight here, did appear a setting for Messi connoisseurship. Early on, Saudi Arabia suffered a penalty for what seemed something just more than a nudge in the box, and Messi, of course, took that penalty. He directed it simply and leftward into the corner, and everything looked normal at 1-0, Argentina.
Four minutes later, as the Argentina defense appeared to have withered some, the Saudis suddenly found themselves in a crowded box with the ball caroming. When Dawsari took it, sidestepped a challenge and drilled a shot into the far right corner, glancing off the hand of goalkeeper Emi Martinez, things got especially rambunctious.From there, Owais and Saudi Arabia hung on with plenty of attacks against them but only two that seemed flashing-red.
In the closing strains, Messi tried often but didn’t menace much. The whole meaning of his World Cup had changed, just as the whole meaning of the whole World Cup had changed for the fans from next door.
