Croatia makes Argentina angry

Croatia have already secured a ticket to the knockout round. Therefore, in the final match of the group stage against Iceland, coach Zlatko Dalic decided to take some key players out. According to the Mirror, there are 8 players in the first team of Croatia who will rest in this match, including stars such as Ivan Rakitic, Mario Mandzukic and Ante Rabic.

The fact that Croatia only fielded their squad for the two matches against Iceland is making Argentina feel like they are sitting on hot coals. Because the result of this match will decide the fate of Messi and his teammates. Argentina must of course defeat Nigeria in the do-or-die match. Besides, they need Croatia to beat Iceland to secure the second ticket in Group D.

If Croatia loses to Iceland, Argentina's task becomes even more difficult. Not only do they have to beat Nigeria, they have to win by a large margin, bettering Iceland in goal difference, to be able to qualify for the next round.

In the next 48 hours, Coach Sarri will debut at Chelsea

Mr. Sarri will lead Chelsea for the next 2 years with a salary of 5.3 million pounds/year with a 1-year extension clause.

According to British newspaperDaily Mail, center back Matt Hummels has recovered from a neck injury and is completely ready to play in the final match of the group stage, which will decide the fate of the German team.

It is known that Hummels returned to normal training on the morning of June 25. He completed all the exercises given by coach Joachim Loew.

In the previous match of the German team, center back Hummels could not play. Coach Joachim Loew used Antonio Rudiger to replace Hummels. This center back of Chelsea made many mistakes in defense.

With Hummels back, the German players will be given a lot of confidence in their chances of winning, especially in the context of Jerome Boateng receiving a red card in the match against Sweden and certainly missing the match against Korea.

The match between Germany and South Korea will take place at 9pm on June 27. Coach Loew and his team have no other goal than to win.

If Germany win all three points, and Mexico beat Sweden in the same match, the "Tank" will advance to the round of 16 as the second-placed team in Group F.

In case Sweden wins against Mexico, all three teams in Group F will have 6 points, and the organizers will have to take into account goal difference to find the top two positions.
