In what is becoming the World Cup of the underdogs, Australia are a dangerous proposition for Lionel Messi and Argentina in the Round of 16. 

The Socceroos' superb Group D campaign saw them send Tunisia and Denmark home, doubling their all-time win tally at the World Cup, to four, along the way. 

Argentina have already fallen victim to one upset, losing to Saudi Arabia in their opening game, but regained composure to top Group C. 

The Aussies have never been to a World Cup quarter-finals before. What is already their greatest tournament ever could still get even better. 

Here's how you can watch all the action on TV and via stream online in Canada.
