With Group A and Group B in the books, Wednesday’s World Cup action will define the deciding day for Group C and Group D. At First up, Tunisia won 1-0 against France while Australia won 1-0 against Denmark. France, despite losing the match, will advance after winning the group stage while Australia managed to win and will play again in the Round of 16 of the World Cup for the first time since 2006, and only the second time in their history. Denmark ended up last in the group after a very disappointing campaign.
Later today, at 2 p.m., Leo Messi’s Argentina are back in the game and will face Robert Lewandowski’s Poland, with Saudi Arabia playing Mexico at the same time.
