🏆Match #61: Semi Final - Argentina 3-0 Croatia (13/12/22, 7pm)
Two decent teams lifted by two extraordinary players.
Can Messi's Argentina reach their sixth World Cup Final or will Modric's Croatia reach their second in a row?
These two teams have met five times with 2 wins each apiece. They've played each other in two World Cups with the Argies winning 1-0 in 1998 & Croatia coming out on top in 2018, 3-0. Both Messi & Modric played that day, with Modric scoring a goal.
I reckon the final score will be 1-2 to Croatia after some more shenanigans by Argentina

Also - with the exception of Acuna scraping his studs down someone's calf - quite enjoyed the Argie shenanigans in the semi.
Van Gaal and the Dutch tried to shithouse them before and during the match - including surrounding and heckling the takers during the penalty shootout, which I don't think I've ever seen before - and got comprehensively out-shithoused.

The prospect of Scaloni winning this irrationally triggers me.

I think another penalty shoot-out is on the cards, and then it is who has the biggest bottle.
Emi Martinez is a monster at saving them, though, so I would probably edge to Argentina.

Hope Croatia absolutely shithouse the Argies out of this game. Seems unlikely, though.

Have to admit, my attention has pivoted back to the premier league. Feeling a bit meh about this. Twist my arm, I'll watch it though.

Really can't call this one....but want Croatia all day long...have backed them to win the whole thing so that gives the game an
extra edge for me..
Backed the Argies so a small win from betfair if they go thru....Big win if Croatia make final tho.
Vlasic Scoring the winner be cool...

The Argies are throwing themselves to the ground at the slightest touch - thankfully the Ref has (so far) ignored itdasnutnock3 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 4:15 pm Hope Croatia absolutely shithouse the Argies out of this game. Seems unlikely, though.

Croatia just seem to bore teams into submission. The Argies at least having a go, but theyre very average.
We were unlucky to draw France in the QF.
