How to watch Argentina vs Croatia: TV channel, live stream and kick-off time for World Cup clash

Argentina and Croatia are set to battle it out for a place in the World Cup final later today.

As for Croatia, Zlatko Dalic's side eliminated Brazil after a dramatic shoot-out on Friday and reached the 2018 final in Russia, only to be beaten by reigning champions France. Luka Modric has been in superb form for the Vatreni, with his experience shining throughout the tournament.
