Argentina may be struggling on the field after a 1-1 draw with Iceland and a shock 3-0 loss to Croatia, but the La Albiceleste fans are as loyal as ever.

Thousands of them camped outside the hotel in St Petersburg on the days before the crucial match against Nigeria to wish their team well.

The stakes couldn’t be higher for Lionel Messi and his team who must beat Nigeria on Tuesday night 22:00 UAE time and hope Iceland do not do the same against Croatia to stay in the World Cup.

The Argentina fans serenaded their heroes and the players even joined in with some impromptu drumming. Check out the video below.
