FIFA 2022 world cup

[slackovic]

I expected Croatia to play better in attack, but it was not their day. Messi still reaches the final, the expectations of many regarding Argentina come true. Today, France is likely to stop Morocco, the semi-finals and the match for third place with Croatia is already a great achievement for them, and France will be a worthy opponent for Argentina in the final.

I agree that Croatia played pretty good. The only problem is that there was no one to score a goal. And Argentina let Croatia control the ball and then scored goals from counter attacks. As a Croatian I'm not that sad that my team lost. Argentina was a better team and they won. Even if without penalty I think that Argentina would have won the game. Now we have to see who will face Croatia in the battle for the bronze medal and who will face Argentina in the fight for the gold medal.

I expected Crotia to do better in defence but they were too lose more than they have ever be during the World Cup. They fixed their mind in scoring goals instead of to defend which is where their strength is always seen. It is unfortunate for them that they didn't go to the finals twice which would have been a very big record for them.

I have to congratulate Argentina for winning the match over Croatia so that Argentina will advance to the Qatar world cup final this year. Argentina played so quickly and never made a mistake in the opportunities they got so they were able to score three goals, even though one of them was through a Lionel Messi penalty.

Croatia has a defense that is not so strong and the attackers are also not so good that they were not able to score a single goal against Argentina. But I also really salute Croatia's struggle in yesterday's match because they had tried to attack Argentina several times, but the results were not satisfactory for Croatia.

Argentina players are so dedicated victory after victory for their superstar to get the trophy in the end. that's the hope of lionel messi and the team is very compact to make it happen. Argentina is only one step away from making history for the Qatar world cup. If Lionel Messi et al are able to win the trophy then this is the third world cup trophy for Argentina. Many well-known footballers on social media support Argentina to become champions in the Qatar world cup.
In today match we will see who will accompany Argentina in the final, whether France can break Morocco victory or Morocco continues to make history in this world cup.

Croatia were not playing good at all ,although they have most of the ball possession but they failed to produce any goal out of it. Argentina deserved this win they came well prepared and were in full form. The goals from Álvarez were really good.

Yes, Croatia played very strangely, very strangely. I would not say that they played attacking soccer, rather tried not to play total defense, knowing that anyway Argentina will score, which in general is what happened, but I expected that at least one goal Croatia will score, after all a team strong, experienced enough, but the result was 3-0 in favor of Argentina. I think that the second goal, which the Argentines scored somehow very easily, "undermined" Croats and after the second goal, they themselves did not believe that they could beat Argentina.
And when Argentinians scored the third goal, they had already relaxed and probably kept the upcoming final in their minds, played not roughly, did not foul, which is not very similar to them.

Yesterday, Croatia let me down; they did not impress me in the game. I anticipated a challenging game yesterday. But Croatia fell to Argentina so easily. There is no nothing anyone will say that Will change my mind about how horrible it was. Argentina was fortunate to score despite not being good enough for the match.

Croatia lost because they fell into the trap of Argentina, simply explanation.

Argentina are stronger than Croatia but they sacrificed ball possession for Croatia and waited for combination of Messi with his great vision and accurate key passes and the speed of Julian Alvarez. We witnessed how they succeeded with this approach as three goals for Argentina come from almost a same way.

Lovren and Gvardiol had a worse combination than they used to have but if Argentina did not have Messi and Julian Alvarez, they would have not break down defense of Croatia.

The first penalty opened the match knot for Argentina and it becomes more easily later for Argentina to play. The second goal simply made a win for Argentina looks more clearly.

[Gencecikmen]

It's over Croatia's journey in the 2022 world cup. Congrats them. Argentina became the first finalist. Finally Argentina has made it to the final once again as expected, I hope this world cup becomes theirs. Messi really wants the World Cup. His assist on Julian Alvarez goal was fantastic. He presented a solo recital. I also really liked Julian Alvarez's performance.

[Unsoldier]

The score from the 3-0 win is certainly not something lucky except for the score of 1 goal from a penalty kick, Croatia's performance has decreased in this match and I didn't expect them not to do anything potential to score goals even in the second half they seemed to be playing in the friendly league without thinking about losing 3 goals . Brazil should have deserved to face Argentina in the semi-finals but Brazil was unlucky on penalty kicks.

But croatia played well against brazil, much different against argentina tonight. Croatian players seem to be losing performance. In the early minutes, Croatia had 54% of the ball, but could not attack. They only played in the back and midfield. Meanwhile, Argentina only took advantage of counterattacks. Messi and Alvarez are quite dangerous for Argentina's front line. Both of them can run fast, making it difficult for Croatian defenders to stop their attacks.

Croatia played well when Argentina haven't scored their first goal, immediately Messi scored the first goal through penalty croatia performance changed and they started playing with pressure to equalize the game. The first goal disorganised Croatia,  this was the reason why it was easy for Argentina to score more goals. Alvarez really tried for Argentina,  if not the two goals he scored for Argentina it would have look as if Argentina won by luck.

I really liked the way Croatia played. But the first goal from a penalty shoot-out hurt the team's morale. I think that penalty was controversial, but it was the referee's decision. Croatia had many chances to score, but they lacked skill and composure.

The Argentines are stepping up their level of play. Now they are waiting for their opponent in the final match.

[Shaha98]

Analyzing the Argentina team here, everyone must say that it is a strong team.  Because Messi is the best in the world and all the players in his team are also very experienced.  But if Argentina can't win the FIFA World Cup this year, it will be in big trouble in the next life. It is doubtful whether they can reach the final.  Because they beat Croatia to confirm the final.  But Lionel Messi has won all the cups in his life but if he can win only one world cup then his life is worth.  Because the big stars have commented that Messi needs this World Cup very much.

[BobK71]

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.

This year's World Cup in Qatar, Argentina's fans are more exited to win especially for Messi's last World Cup. There are many supporters who support other teams as well but they are very weak towards Messi in this World Cup. They want this football wizard to win a match for the last time of his life. Croatia was a very good team in this World Cup, they went 3-0. However, I do not think that France will be the weaker opponent in the final match. Because they have come to this position by winning consistently. Nothing can be predictable and unexpected things can happen in football. As we know world Cup champions Italy failed to qualify in this tournament. It remains to be seen who will be against Argentina in the final.

[KTChampions]

Is anyone expecting a major victory for France today? After Morocco conceded only one goal for the entire tournament (and it was an own goal), it's hard to believe, but it seems to me that France will try today at the maximum level.
Mbappe will do everything possible to become the sole leader in the race of scorers today (not to mention the final, which will most likely decide on the winner of the Ballon D'or of this season).
It seems to me that the forces of Morocco under such an onslaught may end, in general, they have already gone too far and will be glad even to get into the game for third place.

I agree, a very clear explanation.
In general, the class of Argentina was higher, plus Messi. Only a few teams can beat such a team and I think France is among them.
Although the supercomputer estimates the chances of both as roughly equal, but with a slight advantage in favor of France, there comes out 60% to 40% that France will win.
Why with all the data, the team of Morocco is practically not considered a potential finalist, the chance of only 7%, although Morocco and so jumped over their heads.

Honestly, I don't understand why the Portuguese coach decided to limit Ronaldo's playing time by putting him on the bench. Of course, Ronaldo's performance in this tournament wasn't impressive, considering he scored only 1 goal. Nevertheless, I think the Portuguese coach should have allowed Ronaldo to enjoy his last matches at the World Cup. So Ronaldo's emotions in those pictures are understandable as he obviously expected that the last World Cup of his career should have been special.

The coach's decision not to choose Ronaldo as a starter because Ronaldo showed dissatisfaction and was angry with the coach's decision when he was subtituted with another player (Group H matches, Portugal vs South Korea). This strategy was effective when Portugal vs Switzerland, but vs Morocco they are failed.

Analyzing the Argentina team here, everyone must say that it is a strong team.  Because Messi is the best in the world and all the players in his team are also very experienced.  But if Argentina can't win the FIFA World Cup this year, it will be in big trouble in the next life. It is doubtful whether they can reach the final.  Because they beat Croatia to confirm the final.  But Lionel Messi has won all the cups in his life but if he can win only one world cup then his life is worth.  Because the big stars have commented that Messi needs this World Cup very much.

Even without Messi, it doesn't mean Argentina can't win the World Cup in the future. There are many young Argentine players who can become good players, for example Thiago Almada, Julian Alvarez. even though they are not top stars players like Messi, but in the future who knows they can lead Argentina to win the World Cup.

To be honest, I also expected more from the Croatian national team in the match with Argentina, but apparently the coach with the starting lineup did not guess, I think it's not worth talking about how Sosa played in this match, but he was replaced, but the score was already 2:0 in favor of Argentina.

[MK-74]

Everyone thought last night's game would be tough, but it was a very easy game for Argentina.
I never thought that the game would end with this score.

There is MOROCCO - FRANCE game tonight. France will win 99%.
I hope France wins the cup.

Morocco really impressed me this season,as an African am proud of them, they have good players that plays in Europe and those players shared their exprence  to the teams, they are very good defensively and also have two dangerous wingers in Boufal and Zeyich but I think this will be the end of road, because this French side will be too much for them and they will be motivated by the opportunity to be the first country to win the cup back-to-back.

And i agree with you. Initially I thought that Argentina would immediately press in the early minutes with high intensity. however, the scenario that occurs is different. like you said, Argentina allowed Croatia to have the ball. they relied on counterattacks, and yes Argentina opened up their advantage from the penalty spot.

Regardless of Argentina's victory in this semifinal match. I just want to highlight the captain of the Croatian national team, Luca Modric. he always performs optimally in every match, especially during the Qatar world cup and considering he is 37 years old. but he still performed brilliantly, with the captain's armband. We must give the highest appreciation for his role with the Croatian national team, with the extraordinary performance he presented to football lovers. he's also not only important in his club, but with his national team as well. maybe this world cup will be the last for him, so I will fully support Luca Modric in the fight for the bronze medal.

Yesterday game was supposed to be a tough one but ended up one sided and really boring for some Croatian fans . Today's game is expected to be a thrilling one as France is on top of thier game and they play aggressively like morocco both have same type of technique and strategies to win their game to let's wait for a tough fight tonight .

Actually I expected more from Luka Modric. His leadership role as Croatian team's captain is unquestionable but I expected more from him. He is fighting, returning to help defense, but offensively he should have give more. He produced far less of his famous passes than I expected. But the team plays much better with him playing than when he is benched. This will not only be the last World Cup but probably the last games that he plays for the national team. I don't think that he announced it yet but I think he will not play for the Croatian team after the World Cup. Luckily Croatia already found a replacement for him in the middle of the field - Lovro Majer. He is still young but he started to improve his skills after he left Dinamo Zagreb.

Yesterday game was supposed to be a tough one but ended up one sided and really boring for some Croatian fans . Today's game is expected to be a thrilling one as France is on top of thier game and they play aggressively like morocco both have same type of technique and strategies to win their game to let's wait for a tough fight tonight .

I'm not expecting a thrilling game today. Morocco's style is defense only. They are not trying to attack their opponent at all. Only when some loose ball gets picked up by their forward players, they try to attack. I'm expecting that France will hold the possession and Morocco to defend their goal.

[rendravolt]

Everyone thought last night's game would be tough, but it was a very easy game for Argentina.
I never thought that the game would end with this score.

There is MOROCCO - FRANCE game tonight. France will win 99%.
I hope France wins the cup.

Last night I watched in disbelief that Croatia would lose easily against Argentina, an absolute victory for Argentina since the first round match and it was very difficult to pursue because the ball possession was completely controlled by the Argentinian players. Argentina against France is everyone's dream final, while Argentina against Morocco is a new final for everyone. Apart from all that, I hope Argentina can win the world cup this time and of course as a good career ending for Lionel Messi.

[X-ray]

It's over Croatia's journey in the 2022 world cup. Congrats them. Argentina became the first finalist. Finally Argentina has made it to the final once again as expected, I hope this world cup becomes theirs. Messi really wants the World Cup. His assist on Julian Alvarez goal was fantastic. He presented a solo recital. I also really liked Julian Alvarez's performance.

Croatia has been working so hard since the group stage until it can reached the semi finals and that's a good achievement by croatia but it's not lucky enough to repeat 2018 as it was going to the final against france. it seems like that argentina will be facing france at final after france will defeat morocco.
Alvarez performance is making so many parties try to consider him as a potential striker after haaland. The problem is if he can't compete with halaand but he can become a very good striker for sure. Alvarez will be showing another great performance against france during the final match.
