After Croatia's 3‑nil win over Argentina in the second round of games of Group D in the FIFA World Cup, the South American team's future in the tournament is in question.

With the result of the Iceland and Nigeria game tomorrow, the chances of Argentina moving onto the last‑16 stage becomes dependent on the final game, between Iceland and Croatia.

If Iceland beat Nigeria, this would be the worst possible outcome for Lionel Messi and the team because, to continue in the tournament, Argentina would have to grab three points from their final game against Nigeria and hope Iceland do not win against Croatia.

Here the goal difference will be very important as well, as a draw between Iceland and Croatia could also see Argentina go, leaving Russia and Croatia claiming first place in group D with Iceland following in second.

If Iceland and Nigeria draw, this would do the least amount of damage to Argentina.

Argentina will take on Nigeria at 6am next Wednesday.

In other games today, France beat Peru 1-0 while Australia and Denmark played out a one all draw.

In the games tomorrow, Brazil will take on Costa Rica at 12am, Nigeria will face Iceland at 3am while Serbia will take on Switzerland at 6am.
