2018 FIFA World Cup - 26 June 2018

Loading player...
The big question today is will Nigeria become the first team from Africa to reach the knockout stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
Yesterday the hosts Russia, as well as Uruguay, Spain and Portugal became the first teams to book their place in the next round.
Today it’s also about Africa’s hopes and whether or not Argentina can survive, or become the first major casualty at the global showpiece.
The Super Eagles feel upbeat about their chances this evening, however, the Argentines can block their progress with a win.
Croatia have already secured their passage with two wins and a sit to top Group D, but Iceland can keep their dreams of reaching the next round alive, if they can upset the in-form team in the group.
