World Cup: Maradona swears after Argentina scores

The 2018 World Cup is in full flow in Russia.

Argentina Football booked their place in the last-16 on Tuesday night with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Nigeria Football that saw them progress from Group D alongside Croatia, and set-up a mouth-watering game with France this weekend, while it all proved to be a bit too much for Diego Maradona as he watched on in St Petersburg.

But today the action moves on swiftly with both Brazil Football and Spain looking to secure their safe passage to the next round. Germany are up first as the reigning world champions face South Korea knowing that a victory will guarantee them a place in the last-16, with Mexico and Sweden also vying for qualification in the group’s over match.

Then Brazil will look to earn a win over Serbia that will see them safely through, with Switzerland and Costa Rica competing in Group E’s other match. Follow all the latest news below...
