#3 Croatia vs Argentina

Barcelona v Real Madrid - La Liga
Messi and Modric will face each other for their respective countries

In what will be their second matches of the tournament, both Croatia and Argentina will be eager to get a victory over the other and stake their claim as group winners, at the end of 3 rounds of matches. The game takes place on 21st June.

Croatia has a well-balanced squad with experienced players capable of competing with the best in the world. With possibly the best midfield in the tournament, they will be hard to beat even for the Argentines who possess arguably the best strike force in the tournament.

Argentina manager Sampaoli has carefully selected his 23 players and made the setup around Messi. The veteran manager will need to balance and rotate his players but, looks set in almost every position with a backup in place. Both teams are dark horses to go far in the tournament.
