Argentina slipped to the brink of an embarrassing World Cup
group-stage exit on Thursday after Croatia beat the South Americans 3-0 to
progress to the last 16.
A goalkeeping howler from Willy Caballero allowed Ante
Rebic to give Croatia a 53rd-minute lead, and late goals from Luka Modric and
Ivan Rakitic left Lionel Messi and Argentina needing an unlikely series of
results to keep their hopes of progressing from Group D alive.
The Chelsea stopper attempted a chipped pass over Ante
Rebic from inside his own area, but totally underhit his effort and the Croatia
winger fired an unstoppable volley into the roof of the net.
