Evidently neither does the Russian TV Director, who was constantly cutting back to shots of Aguero looking sad on the bench during that match.

Denmark vs Australia: Denmark has shown their averageness against Peru, with a moment of genius by Eriksen after showing their lack of ability to hold the midfield against a dogged Peruvian squad. So far, most European favorites have shown a vulnerability against hardworking teams, and those who start play from the back often fall to direct play. Australia has shown their direct play against France as well as a compact defence, as has been the key to victory for most underdogs in this tournament.
Prediction - DRAW, or a narrow win by Denmark.
France vs Peru: A battle of the midfield, Pogba and Co has to step up as does Griezmann to handle Peru. A win here would most likely assure them qualification unless Australia pulls off the win against Denmark in the earlier game. France most likely to keep a clean sheet although Peru would be keen to put their fullbacks to the test. While France's young wingers were mostly silenced against a strong Australian formation, Peru's discipline would be tested to the limit.
Prediction - France Win.
Argentina vs Croatia: Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic would seek to advise his teammates on how the Argentinian maestro handles his position behind the striker. However the main threat would come from Man City's Aguero and Angel di Maria should Croatia seek to play an attacking game. Personally I would see Modric being the midfielder relying on sitting deep and quick counterattacks. Argentina would perform more with a more compact front three with Aguero, Dybala and Higuain with Messi forming the link between them and the midfield. Croatia's taller defenders would also pose an issue for the shorter South Americans to rely on a passing game, a repeat of the Iceland match.
Prediction - DRAW, or a narrow win by Argentina.

What I can hope for now is for Iceland to beat Croatia, who are already through, and for Argentina to beat Nigeria by only one goal. It's a bit of a long shot, but it's something.

I still think Iceland could still pull it off, the gods seem to like pairing Iceland and Croatia together so your players should be somewhat familiar with their team lol. I doubt the Nigerian team will get through, despite what their fans on twitter think And Argentina seem to be playing pretty weakly so a 1-0 win for Argentina could be a very likely outcome.

I think Iceland won against Croatia in qualification (once).
