to hope to qualify this Tuesday (20h) for the 8th finals of the World Cup in Russia. The other match
pits Croatia against Iceland. This is the Messi's last chance. Lionel Messi and

Luckily, the other results have been favorable in Argentina and the qualification remains
at hand: they must defeat Nigeria and
hope that Iceland does not beat Croatia. Even a short win for the Icelanders
could be enough for the Argentineans to pass in case of big success against the
Nigerians.
After losing 3-0 to Croatia, Argentina's Lionel Messi must imperatively win this Tuesday, June 26 against
Nigeria, to be able to hope to qualify. Currently last in Pool D, Argentina
must win and hope that at the same time, Iceland does not impose against
Croatia.
Argentina is going through a real crisis in
this 2018 World Cup, since its big
defeat against Croatia last Thursday. Nevertheless, all is not lost for Albiceleste,
which must absolutely win, this Tuesday, June 26 (20 hours), against Nigeria,
to hope to win a place in the round of 16. For this match, Argentina could make
changes to its team composition.
