Argentina looking relaxed

Argentina forward Lionel Messi posts a picture on Facebook of the squad relaxing.
They won their opener in the competition on Sunday, when they beat Bosnia-Hercegovina 2-1, and face Iran in the first of today's matches.

Argentina are expected to revert to a 4-3-3 formation when they take on Iran, with striker Gonzalo Higuain in line to be recalled to the starting line-up while Javier Mascherano will win his 100th cap.

Iran could name the same team which drew with Nigeria, with Charlton's Reza Ghoochannejhad their lone striker.

The only previous meeting between these two nations was a 1-1 draw in 1977. That match was held at the Bernabeu as part of a friendly tournament to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of Real Madrid.
