Geezer was like a rampaging bull right the centre of the Croatian defence there

Argentine defence has been miles better than Croatia's

Croatia getting owned here. Good job too, theyve bored their way through two world cups needing penalty wins 4 times. Nowhere near as good as theyre made out to be.

I'm sorry but Argentina are a pretty lucky team, nothing special. Even the penalty although probably was one was fortunate. Sosa seems to be weak link for Croatia, you have to get more contact on that clearance

Goal and an assist for Messi....not too shabby for someone who Matterface said hasn't had a kick.

Odd name Mac Allister for an Argentinan. His brothers are called Frances and Kevin and believe they are of Irish descent.
When he scored I was imaging it was Gary McAllister for a brief second

It looks like they have decided that the final will be between Argentina vs France . VAR only used if it favors Argentina

The difference really has been the quality of the defence.
Croatia looked really good until the first goal, then you could immediately see they slowed down.
Second goal was just cr*p defending.
I hope Croatia come back, but I can't see it now the Argies have the momentum.

Argie 2nd goal came from a breakaway from a Croatian short corner …..How many times did we screw up last season from a Noble short corner

Don't ho along with the 'boring' claim about Croatia, their passing & movement can be sweet to watch and I've enjoyed them. However, it'll take an Argentinian defensive screw up.to let them back in imo.

Good old Argentinian name, Mac Allister... is he as Argentinian as Andy Townsend was Irish?...bonzosbeard wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 7:50 pm Odd name Mac Allister for an Argentinan. His brothers are called Frances and Kevin and believe they are of Irish descent.

There are a fair number of Welsh names there too, and s huge amount of Italians. Country of immigrants like all the Americas

I thought it was a penalty as well, but the studio 'expert' was about as convincing as Rudy Giuliani.
Goalie came out to block the player and made no attempt to get the ball.
