This match was signaled as a revenge match for Argentina in today match because Argentina, of course, remembers the previous defeat. lionel messi et al of course will make all his fans proud if they are able to avenge the defeat of the last world cup. croatia has a luca modrid who performed brilliantly at the qatar world cup, even though he is old, modric figure is able to ignite the enthusiasm of other players. therefore I think Argentina will press more in the first half because the first team to score early in the game has a higher chance ratio to qualify for the final.
Maybe for the fans, this match could be a revenge match for Argentina, which in fact was defeated by Krosia in the 2018 World Cup. But in truth, this match was not a revenge match. because these two squads have reached the semifinals, we can be sure that these two teams will fight it out. after all, these two teams only need one win to advance to the final match.
Both Argentina and Croatia, are under the same pressure. these two teams, will not underestimate one another. the first 15 minutes, both teams will play very carefully because one mistake, however, can be fatal for both teams. even so, I agree if Argentina will appear more pressing. they want to create every chance, and convert them into goals. but so far, Croatia has shown its toughness, especially in their defense. this match is important for Messi, as well as for Modric. the two icons of these two teams, will both appear all-out to win the battle. so, let's just enjoy it when this game starts.
