Lionel Messi and his Argentina teammates are on the verge of World Cup elimination.
Argentina was handily beaten by Croatia 3-0, a loss that makes advancement very difficult with only one group match remaining.
It was Argentina's worst loss in group play in 60 years.
Messi failed to get even one shot off against Croatia on today, five days after he missed a penalty in the team's opening 1-1 draw against Iceland.
In the other games today, Denmark and Australia finished at a 1-1 draw and France beat Peru 1-0.
