Argentina v/s Iceland: Today in FIFA World Cup 2018- Live streaming, time, teams and where to watch on TV in India

After Cristiano Ronaldo’s heroic hat-trick that helped Portugal hold Spain at 3-3 draw, it is time for his arch-rival Lionel Messi to take the biggest platform in international football.

Messi and Argentina are set to kick-off their FIFA World Cup 2018 campaign against Iceland at the Spartak Stadium, Moscow on Saturday. 

Argentina had held their first open practice in Bronnitsy, a small town, some 60 km southeast of Moscow.

The chance to see  Messi up close unleashed a certain madness on June 11 as around 500 fans packed the stadium to watch the Little Master train ahead of his biggest tournament. The training centre in Bronnitsy was on the banks of a river with sandy shores and just a short distance from a traditional Russian Orthodox Church with gilded domes.

The fans never stopped chanting the name of FC Barcelona's star player, while waving both Argentine flags and Barca banners.

Added to the Argentina fans were more than 200 reporters covering the training session. Messi decided to thank the fans for their support and their patience by signing autographs and having photos taken with his countless admirers after the practice.
