United States Argentina vs Poland live: World Cup score, highlights, result from 2022 Group C match
Lionel Messi and Argentina are in a must-win situation when they face Poland in their final match in Group C. Messi is on a quest to win his first World Cup what looks certain to be his final appearance in the tournament, and a group-stage exit for one of the favourites would prove a massive upset.
Only a victory will guarantee the Albiceleste advance to the next round. A draw could work depending on the result between Mexico and Saudi Arabia, while a loss would see Argentina suffer a shock group stage elimination.
Poland are one point ahead of Argentina going into the final day and they have two results that will get them into the knockouts: a win or draw. They can even qualify with a loss if the tiebreakers go their way.
The match will see two stars go head-to-head in what could be the last World Cup appearance for one of them: The 35-year-old Messi matches up against 34-year-old Robert Lewandowski, who scored his first career World Cup goal against Saudi Arabia.

2hrs 15 mins from kickoff: Lionel Messi is poised to play his 22nd game at the World Cup, a new record for Argentina after matching Diego Maradona's previous best mark with his match-winning turn last time out. Lothar Matthaus (25), Miroslav Klose (24) and Paolo Maldini (23) remain ahead of him. With a run to the final Messi could overhaul them all.
2 hrs 40 mins from kickoff: The opponents for Argentina and Poland, should they progress to the last 16, will come from Group D. France are more or less home and hosed as group winners, hence Didier Deschamps' decision to make nine changes against Tunisia. Wahbi Khazri gave the North African side the lead against Les Bleus, to put them up to second place in the group. But then Mathew Leckie put Australia ahead against a much-fancied Denmark side. If things stay that way, the Socceroos will be the opponents for the Group C winners.
3 hrs 15 mins from kickoff: Enzo Fernandez impressed off the bench against Mexico and the Benfica sealed victory with a sublime goal. Will Lionel Scaloni be tempted to throw him in from the start?

3 hrs 45 mins from kickoff: Poland are top of the group on goal difference after a curious tournament so far. Lewandowski had a penalty saved in the opening 0-0 draw against Mexico, while they were outplayed for long periods but displayed a clinical edge before beating Saudi Arabia 2-0.
4 hrs 15 mins from kickoff: So here we are again with Lionel Messi, needing a result in the final group game to progress to the knockout stages. He was in a similar scenario in 2018, when chaos ensured. Find out more below in one of the chapters from our Messi & Ronaldo: Destination Mundial series.

You've got to believe there's someone on the team that's aware of this:

According to reports in Argentina, manager Lionel Scaloni is entertaining three lineup changes. Right-back Nahuel Molina, central defender Cristian Romero and midfielder Leandro Paredes were all dropped after the loss to Saudi Arabia but are poised to return to the first XI.
Enzo Fernandez starred and scored off the bench in the last match against Mexico, and the expectation is that Scaloni will use the midfielder in the same way.
Argentina (4-3-3, right to left): 23. E. Martinez (GK) — 26-Molina, 13. Romero, 19. Otamendi, 8. Acuna — 7. De Paul, 5. Paredes, 20. Mac Allister — 10. Messi, 22. L. Martinez, 11. Di Maria
Poland might go to a more conservative lineup against Argentina's attacking firepower after lining up with two forwards in a 3-5-2 against Saudi Arabia. Feyenoord's Sebastian Szymasnki and Wolfsburg's Jakub Kaminski are expected to enter the picture.
Poland (4-5-1, right to left): 1. Szczesny (GK) — 2. Cash, 14. Kiwior, 15. Glik, 8. Bereszynski — 19. Szymanski, 6. Bielik, 20. Zielinski, 10. Krychowiak, 13-Kaminski — 9. Lewandowski
