France and Argentina are scheduled to play their World Cup round of 16 playoff on 6/30/18 at 10:00am EST. France finished 1st in Group C by defeating Australia and Peru then drawing versus Denmark. Argentina finished 2nd in Group D with a win over Nigeria, a tie versus Iceland, and a loss to Croatia. Argentina is the higher ranked team but will not be considered favorites by fans following the action. France enters the match with high hopes and a young team that has not yet shown it's true potential while Argentina's grizzled veterans lick their wounds from the first round and ponder their legacy.
