The highlight of Day 8 of the FIFA World Cup in Russia was the victory of Croatia over Argentina 0-3, which claimed a place in the knockout stage ahead of time and put South Americans on the brink of exit.
Argentina’s goalkeeper Willy Caballero made a mistake in the second half of the game popping the ball to Croatia’s Ante Rebic, who scored the goal. Two other goals were cannoned by Luka Modric in the 80th minute and Ivan Rakitic in the 90th minute.
Team Croatia scored six points in two matches and got to the knockout round of the championship ahead of schedule, repeating the success of 1998. Argentina put its future in the World Cup in jeopardy, and is now ranked third in the group with one point, TASS reported.
