Add The New York Post on Google The top spot in World Cup Group J could be locked up after this afternoon’s Argentina-Austria tilt.
Both teams enter todays game with three points following outright wins in their first matches. The other two teams in the group, Algeria and Jordan, both have zero points. Because of that, one team could win the group with today’s results.
Argentina got off to a hot start with star Lionel Messi recording his first World Cup hat trick for a 3-0 win. La Albiceleste can advance to the Round of 32 with a win today, and can win Group J with a win combined with an Algeria win or draw.
On the other hand, Das Team can clinch Group J if they win and Jordan wins or draws against Algeria. Like Argentina, they can also advance to the Round of 32 with a win.
