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.
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.
the semi final between Croatia and Argentina is about to start.
we will get to know the first semi finalist in few hours -- I think Croatia will win the semi final.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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

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.

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.

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 don't think that Croatia will play that defensively against Argentina. We saw that against Brazil they attacked too and got in some good goal scoring opportunities. What I mean is that Croatia doesn't play like Morocco. Morocco plays super defensively and they are not attacking even when they get an opportunity to create a counter attack.

Same thoughts. Given that Argentina is far from ideal in defense, it makes no sense for Croatia to sit on the defensive. It is better to win 3-2 than to lose 0-1 with no scoring chances. I am sure that today we will see a mutually dangerous attacking game.
As for Morocco, even though they are focused on defense, if you look at the statistics of attacking actions, for example, they were on an equal footing with Portugal.
Against Brazil, Croatia got motivated to attack after they conceded one and the attack which was their first shot on target, produced a goal in the 117' the equalizing goal. During 2018 world cup, Argentina lost to Croatia in the group stage by 0-3, Croatia boss might go all on attack against Argentina.

Both teams are charged for the Semi-finals, Argentina might play a more difficult game compared to what the saw against the Netherlands, I just hope Messi's dreams of winning the world cup stays alive after their clash with Croatia later today.
Against Brazil, Croatia entered the game as an underdog but going into the game, Croatia won the midfield and they didn’t look like a weak side. I’m expecting the same thing against Argentina, they have a team that can dominate games and If they win the midfield, they can control the game and decide to go offensive or play defensive. Also I know accommodating Messi will be big concern but collective marking will be enough to hold him down from causing trouble.

It is true that in this fifa world cup many weak countries played surprising matches but here if you wanna say Croatia is a weak country the I will disagree with you . Because as you already mentioned that they are the runner's up on 2018 world cup and now if you looks at their performance they are unbeatable in every matches of this world cup . And they have one of the best qualityfull  defence department So I think Croatia is equally strong against Argentina I think there is no option to underestimate to Croatia.

Comparison statistic, Argentina have better performance and consistency than Croatia, from 5 matches Croatia won one game against Canada in group stage and get 4 draw, actually Croatia is the national team get lucky at knock out round after eliminating Japan and Brazil trough penalty kick.

Argentina have better performance than Croatia, win 2 matches at group stage and loss one match from Saudi Arabi but success beaten Australia at 16 round before getting draw in quarter final against Netherland and winning trough penalty kick. But have bad memorize last World Cup 2018 Argentina beaten by Croatia 0-3.
I'm not too interested in discussing the record meeting 4 years ago at the 2018 world cup between Croatia and Argentina. Indeed, at that time Croatia managed to beat Argentina quite badly, but at this World Cup we should be able to see the difference in the quality of the two teams.

In my opinion, Argentina is the majority while Croatia is the minority in today's game. I can see enough people believing that Argentina would beat Croatia, but I'm not going to turn a blind eye to how wrong those hopes were in the end if Croatia could play better football. In the end we can't determine who wins and who loses, everything is just a prediction and nothing more. I will be looking forward to this match, only one team will qualify for the final.

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.

Before this tournament, the most talked about players were Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar. Many favorite teams were eliminated in this tournament. Currently, Croatia seems to be behind, but they can eliminate Argentina as well as Brazil. At the moment, only Messi's world cup dream remains alive. After tonight there will be either final or disappointment.
