Rio Ferdinand jokingly threatened to walk out of the BBC studio during their coverage of Poland v Argentina game after being taunted by Pablo Zabaleta about Manchester City's Premier League triumph in 2012.

United legend Ferdinand and former City star Zabaleta were amongst the pundits as Argentina beat Poland 2-0 in the final round of group games.

Argentina made it through to the last-16, but Poland had to wait for the outcome of the Saudi Arabia v Mexico game to see whether they would progress.
