Argentina captain Lionel Messi is stunned after seeing his side go behind
Despite being a soccer powerhouse, Argentina are on the brink of elimination from the ongoing tournament in Russia after just two matches. In their first match, they were average as they drew with Iceland. In this match, their second, they were pathetic. Their performance was a display of tactical and technical ineptitude.
With one point from two matches, their days in Russia seem numbered. They play Nigeria in their final group game on Tuesday.

The South Americans' 0-3 loss to Croatia brought memories of their capitulation in 1958 when they were defeated 6-1 by Czechoslovakia.
It must also be remembered that Argentina's qualification for the tournament was in itself a struggle.
