Argentina 0-3 Croatia: Caballero's Blunder Costs Argentina as Croatia Qualify for Last 16

Argentina's 2018 World Cup campaign went from bad to worse as they slipped to a 3-0 defeat to Croatia on Friday evening.

An error from Willy Caballero coupled with strikes from midfield dynamos Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic proved to be the difference between the two sides and the result now leaves Argentina's World Cup hopes in the balance. Croatia, on the flip side, will be celebrating tonight after confirming their place in the last 16.

Argentina made three changes in personnel from the side that stuttered to a disappointing draw against Iceland with Gabriel Mercado, Enzo Perez and Marcos Acuna coming in to replace Marcos Rojo, Lucas Biglia and Angel Di Maria.
