Things have been far from straightforward for Argentina so far at this World Cup. Held to a 1-1 draw by Iceland in their opening game, they then lost 3-0 to Croatia to leave them on the verge of early elimination. But a late 2-1 win over Nigeria on Tuesday (26th June) saw them scrape into the knockout stages and they will now face France on Saturday (30th June) with a quarter final berth at stake. There was a huge outpouring of emotional relief from Argentina fans after the win over Nigeria with dozens of them seen celebrating, chanting and dancing outside the stadium. Video: SNTV.
