Argentina became the first major soccer nation to visit Croatia, playing the host team to a 0-0 tie at Zagreb in the Argentines’ last game before the World Cup.

About 38,000, including Croatian President Franjo Tudjman, watched in the rain as both teams squandered scoring chances.

At Brussels, Josip Weber scored five goals in his international debut, leading Belgium to a 9-0 rout of Zambia, the nation’s largest margin of victory since it began playing internationally in 1904.
