we know that is not the case and they did not beat croatia anyway.roatian face is already safe and made nine changes while iceland had everything to play for. they give determined exactly what was excited them. living up to their ‘plucky underdogs' tag. and demonstrating plenty of bite. cardiff city's aron gunnarson with the best of their first half chances. only a win would do for iceland who'd had more of the game but croatia were that bit sharper when it counted — they'd just hit the bar early in the second half when this was put away by milan bad—ell. iceland responded by playing to their strengths. laying siege to the croatian goal. but it was the kind of night where it looked like nothing was going to go in. raising into the penalty! hejust did not catch it. but then, a lifeline. handball by dejan lovren. and gylfi sigurdsson, who'd missed a penalty against nigeria, wasn't going to make the same mistake twice. with argentina now winning, another iceland goal would have seen them into the last 16... but they'd left the door open at the back and

croatia, through. the mighty argentina, fallen, and relying on others.f peru has made itself known. but one mistake was all it took. france pounced on a loose ball. still, the south americans pressed, denied only by the woodwork. that is as close as they came. the first world cup in 36 yea rs they came. the first world cup in 36 years is over. what could have been france is heading to the knockout stage, but nowhere near their best. for some, it will only ever be a dream. no one expects denmark and australia to be there at the end. but christian ericsson was determined to show what he could do. power and precision and pure happiness. he did not last long. the var spotted a handball. jedinak put them level. still a possibility for both of them. going back to the astonishing argentina defeat. they beg for forgiveness after the match. the coach said i am responsible. pablo gave his assessment to the bbc. i cannot remember in a long time seeing a performance like that. we can talk about a couple of m ista kes we can talk about a couple of mistakes which prob

argentina can only watch, argentina —— croatia...ntually stopped 30. outperformed, outplayed, messi's and argentina's dream in tatters, it's croatia heading for the last 16. argentina's world cup could be over inside one week. they must defeat nigeria. here's what former argentina international pablo zabaleta had to say in the bbc studio after the match. the argentinian people, they wait on these group of players. it's probably the last chance for them to make something big with the national team. some of those were lost by three consecutive finals. it probably was the last chance to show something, but it's going to be tough, especially to be so criticised by the media, as well stop what so much soul—searching will be going on in the argentina camp. france have joined russia and uruguay in the last 16. they were far from their best but beat peru 1—0, a result which puts the peruvians out as patrick gearey reports. france be peru 1—0, it wasn't great, but sons of improvement. no nations see this world cup as peru does. they are unmis

but they lost to croatia in the end anyway, croatia winning that one 2—1.ust getting through by the skin of their teeth. let's talk about that bore draw, the first we've had, would you believe, after 40 matches at the world cup? just that one goalless draw. it was here, as well, at the luzhniki stadium, and they really didn't put on a show. it was not surprising because france were already through. denmark only needed a point, so theyjust played out a 0—0 thing. we saw peru go home by three points as they beat australia 2—0. what we do have to look forward to — because i've been filling out my wallchart, first up in the last 16, would you believe it, in kazan, france against argentina? what a world cup tie we have to look forward to. just clear up something for us. we've heard a lot about diego maradona, the argentine former footballer, a conversation about him becoming quite ill after seeing his team win. talk us through what you know. yeah, reports just coming out of st petersburg, all the cameras were trained on him during that match. he was dancing with

crunching numbers as you alluded to earlier now this is my reckoning if iceland win tonight against croatia they need argentina to beat nigeria not by too many goals because that could see them going to second place in green day on paper iceland to the last spot on goal difference if you still with me it's complicated it's exciting and it'll kick so if fifty minutes. my head is spinning out of that and they are me you may say you're really hot but you still are fresh the days and so was i must say but let's support the underdog soweth we did have a good victory for the underdog celestial you iceland against the killer crowd anyway i'm going to go back to easter and he's friends now is. a bit of an argentinian found places he's just before can i mean we're both from london marabouts we're used to seeing you know wards of tourists on the street or you know central london out it's so almost surreal really seeing moscow and other cities in russia packed full of people have come from so far away the scenes we saw fantastic scenes from there was a tear files the arsenal fans really must be surrea

a stunning upset has the runner up but the last football world cup facing an early exit croatia beat argentina three nil in the group stages the win means there croatia is through to the knockout stages for just the second time and he richardson has more on that from moscow. well leno messi in argentina arrived at this game against croatia with a chance to put right the wrongs of their opening game draw against iceland messi had not scored in that game and it missed a penalty and it didn't work out again on this occasion argentina all but collapsing in the second half as they were beaten three male by croatia goals from ansi rubbish luka moderates and even rockets if seeing them to a famous win and they are through to the last sixty now this is such a talented generation of argentinian players many of them involved in the team in two thousand and seven that won the under twenty world cup but it's senior level it's never quite worked sound like the runners up in the copper america on a couple of occasions i'm a runner up of the world cup four years ago no south american c. has won the

fish croatia we all two games into the pool to win these. you make it look too easy. to look it's volk up it's first of all football is down school competition of course everyone come vale for perth thinking how he will win how he will be how he will play the row but what is more important we have. unity we have personality we have good squad qualities quote what they mean of course you can play but you can beat everyone with mentality if you emitted the eleven against eleven why we cannot beat germany why cannot beat england why you cannot beat argentina ok we have i think we put something nineteen eight in the scene the room of history of creation football for the duration of football and of course we have more the rich mundra teacher racket to each parish which look world class players and just go out and play everybody said. is this the tournament where leno messi wins the world hope and defines himself as the greatest player ever which i think is very disrespectful to play lights and marriage on that's what it's a lot suppliants book croatia didn't just win they

and that's why croatia wins today because the play is all the players perform fantastically well but when you need something to get big players steps up to the plate and they deliver and rackets edge and much that i think we can see that. racketed gold it was. right at the end of the game i have to say. ok we have it we don't have i guess you really haven't a thing on i just want to put in this point is the whole time we talked about that this was one hundred again there was a lot of lot of tension between the teams and not many icons in the first hour but then they started develop as argentina became more frustrated and then we saw some pretty vindictive tackles going in and i think ultimately it should not have had a you know i think he should have been sent off he. made an incredible challenge for c.b.s. i see rackets he's on the floor the referee is always blowing the whistle to do that you know that's that's really no tea and fortunately nothing happened and it might be one of these things that i will look back on retrospect son for i'm not completely sure about the rules in thi
