Somehow, some way, Argentina are still alive at the 2018 World Cup.
They don’t have themselves to thank for this unlikely reality following a 1-1 draw with Iceland and 3-0 loss to Croatia. Rather, should they manage to sneak into the tournament’s Round of 16 as Group D’s second seed, they can look to the route opened up for them by Ahmed Musa, who scored both Nigeria goals in Friday’s 2-0 win over the Nordic upstarts.
Incredibly, La Albiceleste can still enter the knockout stages with a Tuesday defeat of the Super Eagles and a helping hand from Croatia.
