Reaction to Argentina's World Cup win over Mexico

Argentine fans celebrated in Doha following their national team's 2-0 victory over Mexico in a World Cup group C football match on Saturday.

Argentines breathed a collective sigh of relief as their country won, dissipating doubts that had emerged about Lionel Messi’s team after the shock loss against Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. Messi was almost in tears as he held his jersey in front of Argentina's celebrating fans on Saturday.

Argentina has beaten Mexico in its last 10 meetings dating to the 2004 Copa America, and it won all three of its previous World Cup matches against Mexico at the World Cup, in 1930, 2006 and 2010.
