Houstonians react to Day 3 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup

Day three of the World Cup excitement continues in Houston. FOX 26's Natalie Hee has a recap of Tuesday's matches from the official watch party at Pitch 25.

HOUSTON - From a huge upset by Saudi Arabia to Cristiano Ronaldo’s official departure from Manchester United, soccer fans had a lot to digest today on day three of the 2022 World Cup.

First, during the 4 a.m. matchup, Saudi Arabia stunned Argentina 2-1, pulling off the biggest upset win in history against star Lionel Messi, in what could be his final World Cup appearance. Argentina was expected to sweep Saudi Arabia and was among the favorites to win the tournament.

SUGGESTED: Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Manchester United 'with immediate effect'

Although the Mexico-Poland matchup drew a huge crowd to Pitch 25, the game finished as a scoreless draw, just like the Denmark and Tunisia game.
