Argentina
The 2014 World Cup Runners-Up had a more thrilling group campaign. The Argentine's had to finish with a result in their final group match against Nigeria to advance to the knock-out stage, and did so in thrilling fashion after a right footed goal by defender Marcos Rojo in the 81st minute. Argentina will look for captain Lionel Messi to lead the Argentine attack, while midfielders Javier Mascherano and Ever Banega will look to power the midfield.

France
France won Group C as they defeated Peru and Australia, but had a very uneventful game versus' Denmark which finished as the tournaments only scoreless tie. France's team of superstars are led by wingers Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann who will look to provide width and pace in the attacking third. Les Blues will also look for strong midfielders N'Golo Kante and Paul Pogba to dictate tempo and shut down any of Argentina's passing plays.
