DHAKA: It is said that miracle happens, and, perhaps the greatest miracle of ‘the greatest show on earth’ is going to be happened if Iran confirms the knockout stages of the World Cup Wednesday, while Spain, the last-time champion had been out of track from the very first round.

However, there are four matches in day 14.

One of the top favorites Argentina is going to smash Nigeria’s defense wall tonight 10:00pm while Bosnia-Hercegovina and Iran also face each other at the same time.

Later, on 2:00pm Honduras v Switzerland and Ecuador v France matches will be held.

Iran, despite showing great resistance against Argentina in their second Group F match, they were beaten right at the death by a wonderful Lionel Messi strike. But, if they defeat Bosnia-Hercegovina on Wednesday and Nigeria loses to Argentina, then a last-16 place is possible - although goal difference will be a factor.

A point, meanwhile, is all the South American two-time champions need to finish top of the group.

In Group E, free-scoring France has all but sealed qualification and top spot - they would have to lose heavily to Ecuador, and the Swiss record a huge win over Honduras. Ecuador is in second spot on goal difference only - it promises to be a cracking conclusion to the group stage.
