FIFA 2022 world cup

[skarais]

Argentina were awarded a penalty after a foul by Croatia's goalkeeper and a goal from the penalty spot changed the course of the game. At that time if Croatia's goalkeeper could have saved the goal without committing a foul, the game might not have resulted in such a result. When a Croatia concedes a goal, their confidence goes down, which makes them weaker in the game.

I don't want to say much, but the performance of the Argentine players deserves appreciation. I've made it very clear to support Argentina to the final, and I think millions of Argentinians and fans will do the same.

Apart from losing 3-0, Croatia was also not too bad in that match. They attacked and they have done what is best for their country, that too should be appreciated rather than endlessly booed. I saw both teams really fighting to win the match but Argentina is on fire where only Saudi Arabia managed to break their unbeaten chain so far. As for Messi, he is a different player and he has been instrumental in Argentina's wins so far even in the World Cup qualifiers. Until Argentina reached the final, Messi had scored 5 goals, 3 assists and was 4 player of the match. Something great for him.

Gearing up to be a hell of a final match. Messi vs Mbappe maybe? That's how I think it's going to go. Nothing against the other teams, they've all played very well but clutch time is here and Mbappe will not be stopped.

Unstoppable Argentina will never be stopped in this World Cup, Argentina football team is a completely balanced football team.  They have already qualified for the finals.  However, there is a lot of confusion about who will be the opponent of Argentina.  Some put the Moroccans ahead while others put Mbappe ahead.  But most people's theory is that Argentina and France will face each other in this World Cup and Argentina will win the World Cup by defeating France in the final.

Millions of Argentina's fans are celebrating because of Argentina's victory. I noticed in different ways that even though the game started at midnight according to FIFA time in my country, after the game, many Argentine fans celebrated with slogans and everyone was happy for Argentina's victory. Now it remains to be seen whether Argentina can reach the final and win the World Cup this year. If they don't win the World Cup, it will be a big tragedy for them and since Messi will never play a World Cup again, it will be a painful event for him.

Congratulations to Messi and All of Argentina who played and watched yesterday, they fought so hard to come to this level

Messi has done well carrying the Country on his shoulders at 2014 now again 2022 , scoring yesterday to be all time Argentina highest goal scorer and all time South American highest goal scorer.

I don't think the world will ever see a kind like Lionel Messi again, he deserves the FIFA World Cup just as a lot has predicted but the first goal last night was not to be awarded penalty to soft.

One of Argentina's two best players of all time.  The best in my opinion.  He is still the best in the world.  He is 35 years old and still performing at a high level.  After seeing his play in this world cup, I wonder if he can be in the next world cup as well.  He will be 39 years old and he is a star who can play at that level.

Lionel Messi is doing everything he can to become the best in the history of football. He showed it to everyone with a great game last night as well. He plays football almost like he's playing a computer game. If he continues like this, he will be on the match at the World Cup in 4 years, even though he is 39 years old.

For last night, we need to open brackets for one more name other than Messi: Julian Alvarez!
The young striker of Manchester City showed a great performance. he scored 2 goals and also won a penalty for his team. Messi was the player of the match, but if it had been Alvarez, no one would have looked at it negatively.

Exactly.  Alvarez is only 22 years old and has gained a lot of experience in this world cup.  He scored goals.  He was one of the best in yesterday's match, but to be honest, Messi should have won the man of the match award.  A player should be interpreted together with his age.  Even though he is 35 years old, there was a Messi who still played like 18 yesterday.  If they perform this game in the final, no one can stop them.  This man is awesome.  I wish we could see Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in the final, but we will probably watch the Mbappe-Messi final.

Today I opened social media and found thousands of Argentinians watching together outdoors or indoors just to support their country. It's something that gives me goosebumps when the Argentinian players score, and it's true they celebrate the win and Argentina reaching the final.

Currently Argentina is only one game away from winning the World Cup title. I'm optimistic about them but finals will always be tight. We can predict, but of course we can't determine who will be the champion. If France reach the final again, then it's clear that Argentina will really have to fight extra to beat them. Honestly I didn't expect France to reach consecutive finals in two different World Cup between 2018 and 2022. But really I don't think it's easy to stop France especially Morocco is just a dark horse team. Morocco could roar again, but the chances are very low.

Exactly.  Alvarez is only 22 years old and has gained a lot of experience in this world cup.  He scored goals.  He was one of the best in yesterday's match, but to be honest, Messi should have won the man of the match award.  A player should be interpreted together with his age.  Even though he is 35 years old, there was a Messi who still played like 18 yesterday.  If they perform this game in the final, no one can stop them.  This man is awesome.  I wish we could see Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in the final, but we will probably watch the Mbappe-Messi final.

Messi played really well. But without the support from players such as Alvarez and Paredes, it would have been a lot difficult for him. The younger players were constantly attacking, and that enabled Messi to free himself up. And it was Alvarez who scored two of the goals. The goal from Messi resulted from a penalty. So let's give credit where it is due. Alvarez was the player who won the match yesterday for Argentina. But that doesn't mean that Messi performed poorly. He can't be compared to any of the other players in the Argentine team, since he is a legend.

The penalty has ruin Croatia strategy because after Messi goal Croatia was unable to performing well apparently Argentina know how to counter defensive strategy from Croatia so 3-0 is decent score for them considering Argentina performance was outstanding last night and in this match too Messi has made new records that he is Argentina player with the most assists in world cup along with Maradona and 5 goals during this tournament makes his record equal to Mbappe however this is Messi second final match and looking forward to see Argentina upcoming opponent today

Croatia's strategy, which usually plays calmly with a defensive strategy and quick counterattacks, became ineffective when Croatia fell 1 goal behind Messi's penalty kick. so Croatia's game from the 36th minute looked to be bad. croatia is required to appear more attacking. and as a result the Croatian defense was off guard and Argentina could really see an opportunity and take advantage of it so that the second goal occurred. and in the second half Croatia also couldn't use their usual strategy. because they have to catch up. However, Argentina is indeed a strong team. and they deserve to win. I don't know if this will be messi's last world cup or not. but what is clear is that bringing Argentina to the Final is a very good achievement. well now we just have to wait for which team will be against argentina in the final.

[rojan]

The Croatian defense let them down.  I’m sorry to say this but they started very well as the midfield trio, but this is football. If you don’t score, you’ll lose. Messi put in a talisman-like performance during the win over Croatia, dispatching the first goal from the penalty spot, and making a beautiful run past Gvardiol before playing in Alvarez for his second and third. He’s really need to win this trophy so it will solidify him for many as the best footballer of all time.

Croats should have never conceded that penalty in the 34th minute. It was a very costly mistake. Both the teams were evenly posed till then and the goal from the penalty kick changed the course of the match. And before the Croatian players could recover, Julián Álvarez scored the second goal in a matter of few minutes. At half-time, Argentina was well ahead at 2-0 and at this point the outcome of the match was pretty clear. And it was a very poor tackle from the goalkeeper that conceded the penalty. Dominik Livaković was exceptional till then, but this mistake from him probably cost Croatia a place in the final.

Croatia played some wrong games in this match which is why Croatia lost the match. We saw that Argentina committed 15 fouls and Croatia committed 8 fouls in this match. All in all Argentina won the match with 3 goals and Argentina went to the final. Messi scored the first goal but after Messi more.  Couldn't score any goals.

[BobK71]

Messi said his last World Cup. Qatar will be the last World Cup of his career. Argentina lost the match with Saudi Arabia in the first match of the World Cup. At that moment Argentine fans raised questions what Messi's last World Cup might be. However, when Argentina is moving forward despite various adversities, love or affection for Messi increases. A question asked to Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni before the semifinal match last night. The Argentina coach himself could not confirm anything but Messi finally confirmed. Argentine supporters to be upset to hear that. Next Sunday's final is Messi's last match at the World Cup.

Not justifying the fouls committed by Argentina, but in the end, Croatia received 2 yellow cards (the same as Argentine players received). And more importantly one of the fouls from Croatian players resulted in a penalty kick, that put Argentina ahead in the first half. So irrespective of who committed more fouls, it was Croatia which got negatively impacted in the end. Anyway, the statistic that matters is shots on target. Argentina had 7 to their name (out of that they converted 2 to goals) and Croatia had just 2.

[Sebas.tian]

What a surprised victory, Many people thought that Croatia will maintain the display to achieve goals to defeat Argentina but Argentina achieved two goals in the first half without allow Croatia to achieve a single goal, because of their strong defensive they created. Argentina has finally arrived final, and I don't think France or Morocco can stop them because the only team could have stop them is Croatia, and they defeated Croatia 3-0 to continue the journey. Messi really displayed wonders in this match, I believe he will display more in the final match to make their fans happy again.

[SatoPrincess]

Argentina were incredible and showed great dominance in the game against Croatia. I expected so much more from Croatia but unfortunately Argentina were too good and didn't give Croatia any chance in the game. Messi showed his class yet again scoring a goal and assisting two in the game tonight. Julian Alvarez looked like the heir to Aguero in the match and was instrumental in the win. After this game, it is fair to say that Argentina have won the 2022 World Cup.

In fact, Argentina is much stronger than Croatia here and Argentina wins.  And inside the game you'll notice that Argentina were at their feet most of the time but Croatia only had 30% of the ball at their feet.  And the remaining 60% of the ball was in favor of Argentina.  But it was on the field of play that it proved itself as Argentina triumphed here.  But Argentina's attack was very good and due to the right time attack, Argentina won.

[makishart]

Croatia from the beginning had the attacking plan and the same didn't work as Argentina took the defending position and doesn't show agression. They did it well and the plan didn't work with Croatia. Maybe if Croatia have managed to make a goal at the first half the match would've taken another direction.

Croatia did a great job by having almost 70% ball possession and they have 7 on goals also because Argentina's defense is very tight so the attacker is not effective to create a chance of goals. We do not doubt Croatia's struggle is pretty great but Argentina's player is better at struggle, especially Julian Alvarez who create 2 scores, but the man of standing is still Lionel Messi.

Where 70% was coming from? i didn't see if it's very high ball possessions like that.I think that if it's even less than 65%. The ball possessions meant nothing. The effective attack through counter attack has been making argentina to build a new momentum.
Solid counter attack by argentina can't be prevented by croatia's team. The level between argentina compared with croatia was too far. It has proven from how effective the counter attack that being launched by argentina once croatia's players were not putting their attention to the defensive line. That proves three goals more than enough to prove argentina is very strong right now.

Actually Croatia did look very good in the early minutes until the 30th minute in the first round. However, after a violation occurred in the penalty box, Croatia had to be willing to go behind by 1 goal through Messi's penalty kick. made the Croatian players panic and after that the Croatian game really went bad. mentally croatia players had lost to argentina at that time. plus the great game that Argentina did, of course, made Argentina even more superior in that match. In the second half, Croatia had more of the ball too. But Croatia has indeed lost its composure in the game. they made a lot of mistakes like inaccurate passes. due to haste. and Croatia's appearance in that match was not as good as usual. where in previous matches croatia always played calmly and rarely made mistakes in passes. But the results of this match still prove that Argentina is indeed stronger in game and mentally. and Argentina deserved to be in the final.

The penalty truely ruined the whole game, we were having a very strong contented game that both sides were looking determined to win with Croatia having a little more momentum but everything changed after that early penalty that was givens to Argentina, and frankly speaking that wasn't a penalty. What do you expect the keeper to do at that point when he came out to block the ball. He didn't make any attempt to foul the player instead the player saw him and went towards his direction then they both collided.

From the way the world cup has been going I won't be surprised if Argentina wins it, they have been the most favored side in this world cup with 4 penalties in 6 games and that has been the most at any world cup.  What's even the function of the VAR if decision like this can't be reviewed. The keeper stood his ground, the ball wasn't even hit with enough force to go into the net and was easily clearable. Tha penalty spoiled the whole game yesterday and took out all the energy from the Croatian players, they didn't deserve such treatment just to favor Messi.

The cordination between Messi and Alvarez was simply incredible. Croatian defence got destroyed completely because of these two. I would say that the Goal keeper did some unbelievable stop but was let down on all three occasions by the defenders. Eagerly waiting for the next semifinal that is scheduled for today. France are a better team but Morocco has the ability to stop them from entering the finals.

Argentina success in qualifying for the final could not be separated from the great contribution of Messi, this match looked so easy for Argentina by beating Croatia 3-0. I was expecting a more challenging performance from Croatia like they beat Brazil, but Argentina is still too strong for Croatia. Argentina must not repeat the mistakes of the 2014 final when they were defeated by Germany 1-0, this final means a lot for Messi to win the world cup trophy. Argentina must play its best game to become number one in the 2022 world cup.

Argentina is a step closer to win the World Cup they still have a match to go possibly against France, I was quite surprised that Croatia turned off in yesterday 's match they never play like they did against Brazil and I never expected them to concede as many as three goals in a semifinal that is expected to be very tough and competitive, unfortunately they were defeated blue and black, congratulations to Argentina despite the loss to the Saudi Arabia in their first match came out stronger in their subsequent matches to prove their critics wrong and Iam  looking forward to the finals against a formidable opponent.

Well, I was actually a little surprised when it was considered a violation. and about it even now become controversial news. maybe this is a fortune for Argentina. because in the early minutes Croatia did appear to put more pressure on Argentina. But after the penalty, everything changed drastically for Croatia. and Argentina also became playing with more confidence. but Argentina did great in the game. However, what is unfortunate is that in this World Cup there have been many controversial things related to violations and the like. in fact an incident like this also happened in the Portugal vs Morocco match in the Moroccan penalty box when Bruno fernandes (if I don't forget) was fouled by one of the Moroccan players. However, it was declared not a violation.
