10 Unmissable Group Stage Fixtures At World Cup 2018
4. Argentina Vs. Croatia (June 21)
Group D is set to be one of the more interesting groups to follow when the games get underway, featuring Argentina, Croatia, Nigeria, and Iceland. Argentina are favourites thanks to the likes of Messi and Aguero, but there's talent in the other squads too and the Argentina vs Croatia game on June 21 could be a tough one to call.
The match will see two of the finest players on the planet, Messi and Modric, who also happen to be domestic rivals with Barcelona and Real Madrid, going up against each other. Plenty more star talent will be on display, including Higuaín, Otamendi, and Banega for Argentina, and Rakitić, Perišić, and Mandžukić on the Croatian side.
There'll be a real battle at both ends of the pitch in this one, with plenty of prolific goalscorers eager to get their names on the scoresheet, and it'll definitely be interesting to see which side can win the midfield battle and control the match.
