Turkish referee Cuneyt CAKIR will officiate Argentina’s final group (and potentially World Cup) match against Nigeria on Tuesday.

Unlike the referee for the game against Croatia, this one could be seen as a good omen. CAKIR was in charge of three matches at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The first was the Brazil against Mexico match in the group stages, the second being Algeria vs. Russia once more in the group stages and the final being Argentina vs. Netherlands in the semi finals.

It was confirmed by FIFA Media on Sunday.

As D day draws closer for the Argentina team at the World Cup, a new rumored line-up has come out.

With many in the media reporting that Franco ARMANI will indeed get the start in goal ahead of Nahuel GUZMAN and Willy CABALLERO who is going to be benched for the match. Eight of the 11 who started against Croatia would start against Nigeria. Here’s the rumored eleven:

ARMANI; TAGLIAFICO, OTAMENDI, MERCADO, SALVIO; Enzo PEREZ, MASCHERANO, BANEGA; DI MARIA, HIGUAIN or AGUERO, MESSI

The question mark would remain between Gonzalo HIGUAIN or Sergio AGUERO, the latter who was substituted off for the former early in the second half against Croatia. There were also some rumors that it was between Gonzalo HIGUAIN or Ever BANEGA but it now appears to be between the two strikers.

There was an Argentina team meeting held on Friday evening in Russia following the team’s 3-0 loss to Croatia.

With many rumors coming out that the players wanted Argentina coach Jorge SAMPAOLI out, there was a meeting which was held on Friday evening. The meeting involved the Argentina players, as well as AFA president Claudio TAPIA and Jorge SAMPAOLI as well as his coaching staff.

Reportedly, the message at the end of the meeting was “Let’s get together and move forward.”

This would likely squash (at least for the moment) any rumors of the coach leaving.
