Croatia has stunned Argentina 3-0 to advance to the group stage of the World Cup and leave Lionel Messi and his teammates needing help to stay alive.

The humiliating loss for one of soccer's most storied nations began to take shape when Argentina goalkeeper Wilfredo Caballero miskicked a clearance that Croatia defender Ante Rebic drove into the net in the 53rd minute. Luka Modric scored the clincher on a long drive in the 80th and Ivan Rakitic added another in stoppage time.

Croatia has a perfect six points from two games. Argentina has one with one group match to play and no longer controls its own fate.
