The World Cup knockout stages get underway as heavyweights France and Argentina go head-to-head at the Kazan Arena.
Argentina scraped through to the knockout stages following a dramatic victory over Nigeria in their last group match, finishing as runners-up to Croatia.
Les Bleus, meanwhile, came top of Group C after two wins and a draw.
Today could be the final time we see Lionel Messi on the World Cup stage, unless the maestro can mastermind a win against one of the pre-tournament favourites.
The winner of today’s bout will play either Uruguay or Portugal in the quarter-finals on Friday July 6 at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium.
