Denmark escaped with a 1-1 draw against a resilient Australia earlier this morning, and the Danish can thank their lucky stars that Australia didn’t convert more of its chances.

Then Lionel Messi and Argentina will take on Croatia, the leaders of Group D. All eyes will be on La Pulga to see if he can dig Argentina out of a hole after their 1-1 draw with Iceland.
