World Cup live: Argentina vs Croatia

Jorge Sampaoli's side were held to a draw against World Cup debutants Iceland, with Sergio Aguero getting their goal and Lionel Messi shocking the world by missing a penalty.

Croatia recorded victory in their first game, a Luka Modric penalty and an own goal from Oghenekaro Etebo gave them a win against an unimaginative Nigerian side.

Argentina hasn't suffered defeat in the group stages in their last three World Cups, with their last loss in the competition against England. Croatia has never won against South American opposition at a World Cup.

The only previous meeting between these two sides in a World Cup competition saw the Argentines beat Croatia 1-0, thanks to a goal from Mauricio Pineda in 1998.
