That Argentina would win the match was also quite clear to the bookmakers. Too bad for Croatia that they give it away completely 10 minutes before time. Until that moment, Argenitnie had a field predominance, but hardly any opportunities. Modrtic can't leave his mark on the game either. Argentina is of course also much more than just Messi. He shot that penalty really well. If you shoot a penalty like this 100 times, it will go in 100 times. 2nd goal was a mess goal, but Argentina want to become world champion. How the goals are scored is not important.
In a few minutes Argenitnie has already decided the game. And 2-0 is still a comfortable lead. They also stood against the Netherlands, but Croatia has not yet had a chance. They will have to play all or nothing in the 2nd half. I suspect that Argentina - France will be the final. Nice clash between Mbappe and Messi. Messi needs 2 more goals to break the next record for most goals ever for the Argentina national team or involvement.
ya.ya.yo!

Croatia will have to be a little bolder. There is no difference between the current score and the 5-0 score. If they don't take the risk and attack to turn the match, it means they have accepted Argentina's victory. Croatia has been very good so far. Argentina showed its strength after the shock defeat in the first match.
But maybe another calculation is that they wanted to make a splash and hoped for some mistakes from Argentina but it just backfired on them.
Now the conditions are getting more difficult for them even though there is still a second half still chasing 2 goals will be very difficult now.
I never saw this coming, Croatia side are forcing the attack but the goals are not coming. Argentina are just absolving the pressure and now they are the ones calling the shots. Croatia can't even come back from this one.
Is a big win to the Argentina side no penalty this time around.

You can't be sure they won't make a comeback in this game. They did this against Brazil and ended up in the penalty shootout, allowing them to advance to the semifinals. They'd been playing the game for so long before Argentina scored and the game changed. Croatia, I believe, will modify their style of play and attempt a comeback in the second half of the game. Don't be surprised if they make a comeback in this game; they're good at it, and I don't expect anything less from them. Argentina must tighten their defense in order to prevent a comeback in the second half.

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.
From the looks of things Messi is on the road to the final of the World Cup. They are currently up against Croatia and are really doing a good job. I must say there isn’t that exceptional players in Argentina apart from Messi but they are a team with strong unity and are playing to the best of their abilities.
I know it’s hard to quickly write Croatia off after we have seen what they can do but in the first half they have really not made much impact and I don’t think they would in the second half.

Argentina's two goals in the first half were expected given how they were creating chances. The pressure was too much for Croatia's defense, resulting in a penalty and a goal within five minutes.ya.ya.yo!
Argentina has almost qualified for the World Cup final in Qatar if Croatia fails to score or equalize, because I believe Argentina will score more goals in the second half.

The Crots looks very sad and upset - but we have complete 2nd half. Let's watch the match again

Argentina 2 - 0 Croatia.
Croatia became too confident with this passes as they took control in the first few minutes of the game, that they forgot that Argentina are still a dangerous side. if Argentina had been leading by a goal before the half time I would have said Croatia still had a fair chance of equalising and even going ahead to win other through extra time or normal game time, but these two goals will be difficult for them to equalise, their only hope being that they are quick to get back one go immediately the second half begins and then maintain pressure to get a second one. Croatia barely had chances in the first Half because Argentina were able to close them down, they have to do something about that. 
The game is very much over for Croatia as Argentine has scored 2 goals in 40 mins of play. Argentina are lucky to get a plenty and Messi doesnt miss much. Croatia took the pressure and gave Argentina some openings Alvarez was the one who scored the second goal. A solo run from Alvarez and perhaps the best goal of WC so far. The first half is about to complete and Croatia have a big task to do in second half. We have seen some stunning goals from Netherlands in there match against Argentina. Lets see whether we see some similar stuff today.
It's just a matter of seeing what Croatia's move in the second half will be like, but as far as looking at the first half with Argentina's style which tends to last, I don't think this will be much different, especially since they have won quite comfortably now. But there is one concern for me in this regard because if you look at the match against the Netherlands, when they defend they always make unnecessary mistakes by committing violations in their vulnerable area, this needs to be anticipated further by Argentina so that something like this does not happen again in matches. this time.
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 attack. 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.

I agree with you on this. There is a clear tendency that Argentina will do everything possible to register an early goal, seeing that Brazil was out of the win because their best wasn't good enough to afford them an early goal. Their late-hour efforts were just a fight of hope against hope. An early goal will be beneficial and important in this fierce battle.
Argentina have made their way to the finals .
That is correct - Croatia cannot ever come back from this.
This is huge - Argentina is high morals and Croatia losing all the hopes. But goal is a matter of second.
I don't know of any better team in this world cup that could attempt a come back in this world cup and succeed better than Croatia. With few minutes on the clock after Neymar Jnr found the back of there net in the Extra time of the quarter final, they awoken with a fighting spirit and won back a chance for a penalty shootout. I don't imagine that happening in this game but I think, they could make 2goals. Perhaps Argentina might get to score again but, 2 goals for Croatia is possible.This is huge - Argentina is high morals and Croatia losing all the hopes. But goal is a matter of second.
I don't know how they managed to have such bad defence line in this match and they are paying badly for it at the moment. In the next 45minutes, the might miss there chance to another finals.
I still can't get over how the Neymar went crying from the field.
Croatia has to score a goal at least one.

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.

yes! you are right! I'm watching the game and I have to say that both teams are studying each other, most likely we will see something more in the second half of the match, obviously both teams play carefully, after all there is always access to the cup final of the world. I thought this Argentina would start attacking right away but apparently I have to change my mind
The game is very much over for Croatia as Argentine has scored 2 goals in 40 mins of play. Argentina are lucky to get a plenty and Messi doesnt miss much.

Lets see whether we see some similar stuff today.
Julian Alvarez played really well and he scored an amazing second goal because he got the ball from under the ground into the Croatian defense and got past it, even past the Croatian keeper and a goal in the 39th minute.
juya first goal thanks to Julian Alvarez he should have scored two goals because Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic had committed a foul in the penalty box on Julian Alvarez, and Messi executed it perfectly in the 34th minute, and now the score is Argentina vs Croatia 2-0 and difficult for Croatia in the second half because I think Argentina will prioritize a very tight defense.

Hurrah whao whao Argentina are on fire, they are 2 goal lead against the crostia team of old man's, such amazing chemistry shown by Argentine two goals in just few minutes.
First goal from penelty by Greatest of All time Lionel Messi, which has been created by Alvarez. while second goal by the young striker Alvarez too such a phenomenal young talent, I know that Argentina can do it and they done it, Now Croatia are under pressure and can't control Thier nerves for strike, Argentina break The whole Formation of Croatia by his beautiful passes, I think 2-0 lead is far enough for Argentina to hold Croatia and kick them out of World Cup , I am sure that more goals are on the way come on Argentina..

Argentina 2 - 0 Croatia.
Croatia played the first 15 minutes good then all changed. Messi scored a goal from penalty then Alvarez run almost 60% of the field alone to score the second goal. Now it is almost an own goal by Croatia.
It doesn't seem good for Croatia at all this match..
