Argentina's back-line looked like an accident waiting to happen and in the second half against Croatia it imploded spectacularly.
Marcos Acuna - 5
A few crosses from the left but was nullified by Perisic and Sime Vrsaljko on the flank.
Javier Mascherano - 4.5
Was given the run around by Croatia's talented midfielders and never got to grips with the game.
Enzo Perez - 4
Missed a golden chance at 0-0, failing to hit the target when the goal was wide open.
Maximiliano Meza - 5
Got into some decent attacking positions but was often wasteful.
Lionel Messi - 5
Registered just 20 touches in the first half and not many more in the second. Was starved of service throughout.

Sergio Aguero - 4
Had even less touches than Messi in the opening 45 minutes and was subbed off early in the second half.
Subs
Gonzalo Higuain - 5
Replaced Aguero nine minutes after half time but often received the ball with his back to goal.
Cristian Pavon - 4
Took up a wide position in the second half but had little impact.
Paulo Dybala - 4
Was brought on with 20 minutes to go when the team was very lopsided
