Argentines and Croats face each other again in a World Cup next Tuesday (13), at the Lusail stadium, for a place in the final of the World Cup in Qatar. In the last clash, Croatia won by 3-0, in a match valid for the group stage of the Russian Cup in 2018. The victory guaranteed the European team in first place in the bracket.
