Watch France Vs. Argentina 2018 FIFA World Cup Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, How To Watch Online
Argentina barely survived the group stage, as SportsKeeda recorded, but suddenly possess a real chance at winning their third FIFA World Cup, while 2006 winners France also put in three disappointing performances, but that was enough to take them through to the win-or-go-home knockout stage, where the first match of the single elimination phase of the 2018 FIFA World Cup will live stream from Kazan, Russia, on Saturday.
But Argentina superstar Lionel Messi, one of the game’s all-time greatest goal scorers, has never put the ball in the net during a World Cup knockout round game, as Sky Sports reports, with nothing to show for 666 minutes of World Cup play. France’s goalkeeper says that his team knows that Argentina has more to offer than just one superstar.
“There is so much expectation around Messi, which I think is normal, but still I think the Argentina team has a lot to show,” Lloris told Sky. “They have had difficult times and still have been able to qualify. I am sure they will feel like going much further in the competition, they have won the World Cup before. This is going to be a big match, and a difficult one, we are going to have to step up our level.”

Argentina Coach Jorge Sampaoli is expected to name an unchanged side from Argentina’s dramatic victory over Nigeria that sends Argentina into the knockout round — the first time he will have done so in 15 matches at the helm of his national team, according to the BBC.
