Croatia is possibly going to use more substitutes in this match because they are already through to the next group. Many say they are doing this to allow the Icelanders to win and spite Argentina but they are saying its because their main players are all on yellow cards and they rather save them for the next round. Really, you can't argue that, however Argentina will be counting on Iceland being beaten otherwise they will not qualify. Both matches will be played simultaneously so the results of who moves forward with Croatia will be calculated around the same time.
I heard this match was intense at times and it was nice to see Iceland make a goal but even against Croatian substitutes they were not able to remain in the World Cup with their loss to Croatia.
Final score: Iceland 1 - Croatia 2
Goals by: G. Sigurðsson, Perišić and Badelj.
