Aggressive play dominated a scoreless first half. Frequent fouls kept both sides from establishing game rhythm and control. Argentina opened Group D play with a draw against Iceland. Iceland meets Nigeria tomorrow.
Croatia scored on a careless clearance by the Argentina goalkeeper in the 54th minute. Argentina momentum was instantly crushed.
Croatia scored a 2nd goal in the 80th minute. The Croatian midfield dominated as Argentina pushed players forward in desperate attacking formation.
Croatia will advance to the knockout round. Argentina will need a mathematical miracle to advance.
The miracle is further unlikely as Croatia scoring a 3rd goal in added time. Iceland is likely to advance.
Goodbye Mr. Messi.
Wow so it sounds like Iceland and Croatia are the 2 moving out of this group possible? I definitely would not have guessed that.

It was a mouth-watering encounter yesterday between Croatia and Argentina, as Messi failed to carry his team on his shoulders, the Croatia team dominated the midfield, the Argentina goalkeeper was a mistake, I hope is in goal against Nigeria,
The for today match Nigeria need to go all the way against Iceland for hopes of reaching the next round ! Great post @doctorjohn
