[WC 2022 SF #1] ARGENTINA 3(Messi, Alvarez X2) CROATIA 0

[Odas]

left to me Messi should have been suspended for this match, the rubbish the entire Argentina players did vs the Dutch were 100% unacceptable

He will wish he was suspended after the beating they will receive today

I hope Argentina loses though, I really hope so. I hate teams which think they have to win matches by any means

[Tobi17]

Let's go Croatia!!!

[Scipio Africanus]

Argentina with a 4-4-2
Croatia with a 4-3-3

[ohsee]

4-4-2 vs the Grand Old Hadjuk of Split. Lviving dangerously. It’s all about the battle for middle earth. All else is irrelevant. Can two win it or is Alexis Gary Macallister inverting?

Coachito nwokem! E nata go? (you don come home?) Nno. (welcome) How was your self-imposed exile?

[maceo4]

Game on, good luck mate!

In other news Upamecano and Rabiot missed training with France today. Konate (Ohsee's boy) and Fofana are likely to start in their place tomorrow.

Rabiot is a big miss. A real working man kinda player. Ready to do the dirty work, whether is making the run to the by line to provide width, an extra option, knowing he may never receive the ball or running behind the defender for insurance. He just helps out and plays for the team. Real box to box midfielder, a dream for any coach.

Yeah Rabiot has an insane workrate. A player in the mold of Deschamps himself. But Fofana shouldn't be too much of a downgrade. We'll see

[Scipio Africanus]

Croatia controlling midfield so far

[Scipio Africanus]

Argentina don start to whine to ref

[Scipio Africanus]

Argentina don start to whine to ref

Messi in particular. Annoying dwarf

[felarey]

Argies already looking for a call, play the damn game.

[Odas]

For me, I want Croatia to win this match, so relegating Argentina to tge THIRD place match

[Odas]

LET'S GO CROATIA!!

Yes-ooo! Croatia please win this for many of us

[Tobi17]

That Croatian midfield us just too good

[Bigpokey24]

PKs go sweet for this match ooo

[Scipio Africanus]

What skill by Kovacic!!!

[Scipio Africanus]

FK to Croatia ...

[Scipio Africanus]

Modric is a machine! Back to defend against the counter from the free kick he took!

[Coach]

@Mazi, “nonsess!”. Feet firmly planted. Not a flag at half mast. Full stretch nothing less. France may have won the skirmish, but those dust-laden books atop the shelf will tell their truths for all ages. When it mattered most. Waterloo. Deschamps’ boys took a helluva beating.

[gosh]

The defensive option that Modric sometimes offers is incredible.

[Coach]

Give the Grand Old Hadjuk the midfield and you’ve given them the game.

2 world wars and one world cup! Oh that song was for the wrong England husband. You know England has several.

[Scipio Africanus]

Shieeettt! PK to Argentina!! Sheeeitt!
