It’s hard to feel bad for these defensive/negative teams when they get undone…this should have been Brazil/Arg but it is what it is…

Croatia has crashed and burned. This was a game too many for them. They can hold their heads high as they say adios to the World Cup.

I don't feel bad. I mean, they did what they had to do to get here, however they started feeling themselves talking about how they tactically outsmarted Brazil.

It is not certain, especially as France keep losing starters. But even if they do, I give the edge to Argentina. Messi will finally get his World Cup. :mad:

That’s what I fear. Imagine if somehow Morocco beats France and makes it to the final and then beats Argentina lol.

Don’t really care for Croatia, they are as dull as dishwater and there’s nothing about them that stands out.

@Mazi, truth is, this Argentina side are, on talent, nowhere near Portugal. Hate it or love it, Igwe has led them to another WC final. They mightn’t win it, can’t win it, but don’t see a Xavi in that midfield and here they are. The Goat wey inside peppe’soup no fit enta Isi-ewu.

France won't miss Upamecano, but they will miss Rabiot. I have come to appreciate the guy's robust and never say die play. Konate will be a more than adequate replacement for Dayot.

We can praise the gutsiness of Croatia, but in truth they have only scraped past teams by luck to get this far...against Japan, Belgium and Brazil they were extremely LUCKY, so they were going to run out of luck at some point and this is as far as they can go tbh
