FIFA 2022 world cup

[iamsange]

We will start in 1.5 hours with the semi-finals. The Croats are full of self-confidence. Perhaps Modric has even more influence on the game than Messi. Together they have fought many duels at Barcelona against Real Madrid. You would say that Argentina is the favourite, supported by more than 60,000 supporters in the stadium. Croatia, however, has a higher favor factor, I suspect. Some Argentines have misbehaved in their quarter-final match.

These two teams have gone through a tense match in the quarterfinals, they won a ticket to the semifinals by winning on penalties. Lionel Messi and Luca Modric are the perfect leaders for both teams.

Argentina is the favorite because it has a number of star players at a number of Europe's top clubs, while Croatia also has several star players but they are starting to age. The match between these two teams is very difficult to predict, but the pressure is on the Albiceleste side. But the most interesting thing about this game is to see the role of the two captains in leading their troops, because Messi and Modric have a big influence on the game later.

I think the Argentina - Croatia game is really likely to end up with penalties. Croatia seem to have the strength to have another similar game to the Brazil one. Brazil were also a very powerful attacking team but they had big problems on dealing with Croatia defense and their goalkeeper at the same time. Livakovic was even the man of the match.

Argentina will need to play a very effective game in attacking. They need to be as precise as possible to break the lock of the game early. The more time they don't get ahead the better for Croatia to keep the game balanced.

The world cup is really difficult to predict, weak countries are really surprising us by winning. Croatia have being surprising in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 like the previous world cup. And it should be noted that Croatia brought to the final in the year 2018.  So, it will be a very difficult game for Argentina at tonight. Croatia's game is very difficult to predict, Argentina must be quite wary of Croatia.

Yes, it is true that many countries with poor winning records in football are suddenly shocking us by defeating those countries with strong records in this world cup, especially country like Morocco, which, to my knowledge, I don't even think they have great records even in African in terms of football. However, football can occasionally be unpredictable.

I'm waiting to see what happens in today's match between Croatia and Argentina. I know it will be difficult because both teams are good and use different strategies, so I won't ever lean one way or the other in my predictions, but 60% of people are still thinking Argentina will win because they are strong in attacking but see nothing special their when Croatia also have good midfielders and defense players.

Argentina vs Croatia match will be played shortly.  Today is the first match between the two semi-final matches.  Because today the most difficult decisions will be played.  The team that loses today and the team that wins will win the World Cup and the other team will be eliminated from the World Cup.  But at the last moment no one will leave anyone.  However, it is only a matter of time in this fierce battle.

I can't imagine how Argentina failed today against Croatia. Argentina must have a very strong determination to beat Croatia even though it will not be easy. Croatia is known to have good midfield skills, that's because of Modric and I admit that. However, at this stage, it is indeed difficult to find a winner, even though most of the Argentina are the favorites.

It's currently 1 hour 10 minutes to the match. I can't wait anymore for this match especially to see who is actually crying and who will be happy. I hope Messi will cry tears of joy if Argentina wins, while he will probably experience the same sadness as Ronaldo if in the end Argentina loses.

the match will be very strong between the two countries, argentina also has a great striker even though croatia has a good midfield. I just imagine they strengthen each other's defense in some way, for example until penalties. this is a very hot determination, messi will play as best as possible the final is almost close to winning and vice versa croatia

This match will be very competitive indeed. Football fans may never have seen such a match before. Chances are today football fans around the world will be mesmerized by Messi's magic. Croatia is a much stronger team and they need to beat them mentally. Hope everyone including Messi in their team will use good strategy to defeat Croatia and secure the final.

Soon the world cup semi-final match between Argentina and Croatia will start and the line up confirmation has appeared. Here Argentina uses a 4-3-1-2 formation and Croatia uses a 4-3-3 formation, it is likely that Argentina will appear to attack from the start of the match, Lionel Messi filled the second striker position this time. For Croatia they still rely on their flagship attacking trio Perisic, Kramaric and Pasalic. The match will be fierce where this is very decisive to step into the world cup final. Lionel Messi and Luka Modric will fight hard to bring their respective teams to the final round.

Today, both the teams have a different way of arranging the players.  Because if Argentina wants to attack then with good support they can attack forward.  and four in the case of the defender and three in the case of the latter.  It's a nice piece of support that's very hard to do in the goal post after breaking through the other opposition.  But opponent Croatia they arranged the players more nicely because their support seems to be more difficult to break.  They are scattered all over the field like a swarm of players.  But as the game progresses we have to see which team can kick the goal post.

This may be Messi's last chance to do something good for his team. We all expect Messi to play at his best today. Besides, it is very important for Argentina today, because the best player in the world like Messi needs to win the World Cup. Hope all players of Argentina team will play responsibly and ensure victory.

This match will be very competitive indeed.

It will be wrong to expect something less than a competitive match in this stage in the competition.

Football fans may never have seen such a match before.

Every game is different, but in terms of competitiveness, there has definitely been more competitive encounters than whatever we will get in the match today.

Chances are today football fans around the world will be mesmerized by Messi's magic.

Chances? yes but let us not get too excited about the performance we will see from Messi, Croatians may have a strategy for him to see that he doesn't have the opportunity to get creative with the ball.

Croatia is a much stronger team, and they need to beat them mentally.

I think they have been a more balanced team in this competition not really the strongest team.

Every player has a dream to be the world champion - as someone mentioned  this is the last chance for Messi to do something good for his team. But then again he is a human to his strength too - we have so much expectation from  Messi - Ronaldo - Neymar.
And we want them to show some superman skills in every match they play!

Croatia's last victory was gotten through much defensive play strategy. I quest that was possible because, in the early hours of the first half, Brazilian attackers were a bit carried away by an unwarranted degree of confidence, and by so doing they were unable to have an early goal. I think Argentina may come up with a different game plan as they
have vibrant attackers who are hungry to score. It will be wise to strive hard and get a goal than being too defensive with the mind-set of winning in a penalty shoot-out. A bird at hand is worth two in the bush.

I think that at this moment there is no team that can be said to be stronger or weaker because they have worked hard to reach the semifinals, so all the teams at this moment are the strongest teams. It doesn't matter if it's a big team or a team that was previously underestimated, because even a team that was previously underestimated can beat the favorite team.
So yeah, I really can't say any of them at this point are the strongest or weakest team.

Because one of the differences at this moment is the confidence of each bettor, whether they choose Croatia or Argentina and of course with a different assessment too.
Even if, for example, I choose Argentina to win but still, I still can't say Croatia is weak and I personally will continue to acknowledge Croatia's quality at this moment. Therefore, if I had to choose no bet, then I probably wouldn't be able to choose which team I should choose to win, and would probably only enjoy the match.

Croatia has a small number of supporters compared to the number of Argentinian supporters across the country who want to see Messi lift the world cup trophy. But tonight I just want to see how Messi follows in Ronaldo's footsteps in this game.

Croatia seems to be making another surprise from what they have shown so far and the first 6 minutes of the match had started, Modric played very safe.
Lets watch.

Croatia is not red and white - but they are blue today
The colour they wear is mostly lucky for them -  - and we are use to see them in their national colour - both the teams are in good spirit let see who wins the match

Finally most awaited semi-final have started and both teams are playing extremely cautiously. Ball possession is same for both teams till now. Let's see who'll score goal first Modric or Messi?

Argentina are trying tricks to get free kicks or penalty maybe.
Croatia is also in full form today - I am very tired but I m still sitting to watch the match... I wish it is decided on the assigned time

Croatia's win all depends on their game plan. What worked for them against brazil may not work for them against Argentina. This stage involves two things *win or loses* no draw😂. Croatia may win and may also lose if the Argentinian game plan is much more ferocious. Most importantly Crotia should not forget to play their usual defensive game in order to survive.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

About 23 minutes into the Argentina vs Croatia semi final match, so far, no goals yet, no significant goal attempts yet from both sides, but Croatia seems to be really playing well tonight, the ball seems to be on their possession more often than it is for the Argentina team.

Right now, it is kinda hard to predict which team is likely to win this match, I was actually expecting Argentina to win but from the way Croatia is playing, it seems they are well prepared for the game, hopefully, as the game progresses, it will become clearer and easier to predict the winner tonight.

its been 20 mins - both team are trying to attack and both teams are defending well.
