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.
this is a world cup semifinal match, all teams will play carefully in this match to avoid bad things and in this Argentina vs Croatia match it was very fierce even though Croatia was not so superior but remember that they are finalists in the 2018 world cup.
and if you look at the previous matches of these two teams, Croatia is very strong in midfield led by the world's best senior midfielder Luka Modric so that the flow of the ball forward is very well organized and meanwhile Argentina also has players that are evenly distributed in every line, so I think that Fierce matches will not be avoided in this fight and for the possibility of qualifying for the finals both still have the same chance.

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.
Of course, comparing the tactics of Croatia and Morocco is not worth it, because Morocco is completely focused on defense and hopes for counterattacks, and the fact that they were able to go so far is amazing. Croatia plays a lot more interesting and just because they have such a good defense does not mean that they spend a lot of time at their gate, they have a very strong middle line, which contributes to a great attacking potential, so it's hard to say that they are a defensive team, just a defensive line they are very well built.

The biggest problem with Croatia is that they don't have a very good goal scorer in their team. After Mandzukic left there was no one to step in his shoes and score goals. That's why Croatia is a lot more oriented to defense than to offense. All the players that play in front are good, but not good like their middle and defense.

One interesting fact... Did you know that in the entire World Cup Croatia was leading for only 46 minutes? It was during the game against Canada. And still they managed to get to the semi-finals.

I also think, that Argentina is not the strongest team of the remaining for nations that are still in this world cup. For me France is the big favorite. As you already said, Croatia is a very strong team too. They have a lot of quality in their squad and they also play with a lot of passion and conviction. Their greatest strength in my opinion, however, is that they are very good at defending and even if the opponent is making massive pressure towards their goal then the croatians still remain calm and are always defending well.
If Argentina wants to go through tonight, then they will need more than just Messi. They will need a good team performance.

Croatia and Morocco are the teams that rely on defense, while Argentina and France are representatives of the attacking style, so we have to see who will be stronger. I think that Croatia and Agrantina are very equal teams, if in the match with Brazil, Brazil was the clear favorite, but in this match the chances are equal. the Croats can score today, but can the Argentines score against the Hovats today?
I wouldn't say for the Croatia team that they do rely on defense, for critically looking back at the game between Croatia against Brazil you will observe that Croatia had more control of the midfield than the Brazilian team did and that was what made them able to always absorb  every pressure pulled on them by Brazil in that game. Today's game between Argentina and Croatia am quite sure both teams would be very careful especially Argentina  in their attacking style and rather be clinical as counter attack is possible.
As for the Moroccan team they have been very successful with their defensive tactics, and that's because they have a very strong defense line which has proven itself by not conceding a single goal from any of their opponents except for an own goal they had. But it doesn't look like their defense can withstand the sting of the France team come tommorow except the unexpected happens out of luck.

After failing to lead Portugal to qualify for the semifinals of the 2022 world cup and at the same time failing to fulfill his dream of bringing Portugal to the world championship, will Ronaldo take part again in the 2026 world cup?
He is now 37 years old, but if Ronaldo is able to maintain his physique and motivation to continue his career at a high level, the opportunity to appear in six editions of the World Cup is not completely closed for him. As long as Ronaldo hasn't decided to hang up his boots at the club level and the Portugal national team, Ronaldo still has a chance to be called up to defend the Portugal national team.
he will retire in the next few years because of course his performance will also decrease even though he maintains his physique, but the quality of the game is not like when he was young, I think he was sad yesterday losing to Morocco made him feel like a failure because he hoped he could bring the world cup cup at the same time retired but unfortunately had to lose in the quarter-finals, but all returned to ronaldo's decision

Ronaldo was extremely upset eleven during the game as he was not allowed to play in his last matches in the fifa world cup and when Portugal didn't score a goal ,Cristiano was send in the field to play he tried his level best to score but as we all know Morroco is at top of its morale and energy and they didn't let him score. 
This was going to be his last World Cup and he failed to score goal and won trophy for his country. But he was ,he is and he will be the best player football history has produced.

Yes Ronaldo's time to play in the world cup is over. however, he currently still has personal goals before he retires from playing football. He still wants to win the Champions League trophy. contract termination of the contract by MU is expected to make the end of his career better and to realize his target.

Let's forget Ronaldo for a moment, we will see the best 4 world cup teams this year. to be honest, I'm still have a little hope for another  surprise from Morocco.

On the other hand, this is an opportunity for Argentina to end Messi's last world cup in a very valuable match. Unfortunately, I got a number of issues that Messi will be absent because he received a sanction from FIFA as a result of his attitude towards the Dutch team. Whether that's true or not, it will definitely be a pretty big loss for Argentina if Messi can't strengthen his team in a fairly important session.
No, it's just an issue that Messi will be in danger of being absent but hopefully the rumors aren't true, Argentina need Messi for the semi-finals and we hope Messi keeps playing to beat Croatia. Messi must get "Assists" to equal Diego Marodona record in the match later, Messi must also score 1 more goal to overtake Batistuta record for the position of the Argentine player with the most goals in the World Cup match.
I saw nothing happened with messi. it seems like messi will be playing as starting line up during the match against croatia. Messi will get a new challenge to be able to pass the croatia's wall. That will become a very important challenge for messi. Messi needs to pass it to be able to make argentina will be going to the final. I think that the final gonna be argentina against france. That's gonna be epic match just like a weapon that wanna try to destroy the wall. Let's see how capable argentina to break that wall that being created by croatia.

Argentina vs Croatia FIFA World Cup 2022 match will be held on 14th December.  However, in 2018 FIFA World Cup, Argentina and Croatia met in the semi-finals, but Argentina lost to Croatia In 2018, Croatia beat Argentina by three goals from a 0-3 deficit.  However, these two teams will meet again in 2022 in Qatar World Cup.  But will Argentina win this time, there is only fear in the minds of the audience.
There are not many people who favor Croatia for the 2022 Qatar World Cup, so it is not surprising that Argentina is favored by several groups in terms of winning the match on December 14. But this match will be more exciting to watch because Croatia will try to prove itself by playing well enough so they can advance to the final in this world cup.
From the Argentina camp itself, they will also fight very hard to get to the final because remembering that this world cup is the last for Messi in his career.
Croatia could repeat history by beating Argentina and return to the final as they did in 2018.
Everything can happen in the match between Argentina and Croatia because it's the deciding match for both team to reach to the final, In my view Argentina are far better than Croatia according to statistics and team player and I hope that they can easily beat them because this will be the time for Argentina to take his revenge of defeat in 2018 world cup semifinal from Croatians, Messi and overall team will do everything to beat them and win the final toobring the trophy home. because this will be the last world cup of lionel Messi international carrer.....

There was interesting fact about the match Argentina vs Croatia that the captains from both of teams Messi and Modrid already tasted final match that Messi on 2014 and Modric on the last world cup and they were failed to gets the trophy because at that time Argentina lose from Germany and Croatia was lose from France so i am curious which player will reach the final match for the second time however Croatia has displayed strong defense during this tournament that their players is so discipline to guard their defensive lines so this is big challenge for Argentina that whether they can break the defense of Croatia or not

@bering this is an really interesting fact which I believe many would have forgotten, and thus I believe that we’ll see Messi and Modric play an very important role in today’s game since their experience will help them a lot in today’s pressure game. Furthermore I strongly feel that Argentina will win, because of Messi as it’s his last World Cup and he would like to retire from international games on a winning note.

Indeed, the Croatian national team is capable of a lot and it has already defeated the Argentine national team in 1/16 at WC 2018 with a score of 3:0, these teams have already held five meetings with each other and both have won two victories, but the Croatian national team scored more goals 7 against 5 that the Argentines were able to score against the Croats, so here the chances are 50/50.
I think its really bad underrate Croatia team for sure. I feel like they are bit worse than their former glorious days but even with their old but very talented midfielders they could hit semifinals. As everyone says Argentina will move to a final I wanna say that it won't be easy match. I am expecting Croatia to make Argentina confused/dizzy at times and result will be determined by whom will not concede goals.
I can’t say Argentina will beat Croatia because I am expecting a hard match. For Croatia to have held Brazil to a draw and eliminated them on penalties means they can match any team. Argentina will be facing Croatia, a team that can really be defined as a team because they play like what they are. They have the recent experience of reaching the finals. Croatia will do everything possible to win this game. It’s also a great match for Argentina as well as us. The stakes are high for both, and a spot in the final is at stake.

Croatia could repeat history by beating Argentina and return to the final as they did in 2018. Now they have many chances to repeat the same success. Yes, there won't be many who make Croatia the favourite, they weren't even the favorites when they made it to the semi-finals beating other strong nations like they did against Brazil. The good coordination between the Croatian players led by Luca Modric in midfield was very, very surprising.
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.

I don't think that today's match has anything to do with Argentina losing to Croatia in the World Cup 2018. It's the semi-final match of the World Cup. Do you think that players need motivation in form of revenge? Isn't a fight for the World Cup final enough motivation? I'm sure that all players will give their maximum to win this game. And the players of the losing team will be sad after the match, but they will have to shake it off pretty fast because they aren't going home. They will play the match for the bronze medal!

We talked a lot about these matches. But the excitement of match days is on another level. I feel the excitement of the Argentina - Croatia game today. On one side, there are Argentine footballers who say they are fighting for Messi. On the other hand, there are Croatian players who say they are fighting for Modric. Players of both teams want to reach the final. I have supported Argentina since the beginning of the tournament. I really want Messi to win this trophy. They came here as the last owner of the Copa America. I wish them to take this one step further and become the owner of the World Cup. I'm sure Croatia will defend well against them. But I think Messi and his friends will be able to pass the Croatian defense.

I would not say that Croatia prefers to play defense, they scored 4 matches goals in this championship, so if necessary, in principle they can play a sharp attacking soccer, just a team of age and so they save strength, knowing that the "second breath" of Modric may not open.
Therefore, the Croats play pragmatic soccer, but with the same Brazilians they applied high pressure, trying to keep the Brazilian team away from their penalty area.
Argentina is clearly not weaker than Brazil and they can and do score. Maybe it's even good that Saudi Arabia beat Argentina in the beginning and they had to give all in every game, remembering how the game with Saudi Arabia ended.

I feel for C. Ronaldo for retiring from the world cup without lifting the trophy for his country. The way coaches treat him at this last stage of his career is another embarrassment. -snip

This is a very sad for Ronaldo. The star player who often cries because he can't bring the team for his country lifts the prestigious world cup competition trophy. Ronaldo's best success was at the European level when he was become one of the players who brought Portugal to the EURO championship. Even though he failed, he is a legend who has broken several previous Portuguese player records and became the top goal scorer.


Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11524219/Cristiano-Ronaldo-TEARS-walking-tunnel-Portugal-dumped-World-Cup.html
He is a player who always cries when he fails, even though he is considered to be a temperamental players, but he is the one who always seems to be the saddest player when his club fails.
Ronaldo was extremely upset eleven during the game as he was not allowed to play in his last matches in the fifa world cup and when Portugal didn't score a goal ,Cristiano was send in the field to play he tried his level best to score but as we all know Morroco is at top of its morale and energy and they didn't let him score.

I don't think that Croatia and France will meet again. Because that's what is currently likely to happen. To thwart the predicament I expect Argentina to be able to overcome Croatia's game which is quite solid. However, Croatia looked very confident and was able to beat Argentina in the semi-finals.
Looking at the current teams who playing for semifinal matches indeed the final should be between France vs Argentina but Croatia shouldn't be underestimate because they had experience playing on previous final and i think Morocco journey will ended on semifinal match that they possibly will lose from France tomorrow but the most unpredictable result is between Croatia vs Argentina that although Argentina is the favourite but beat Croatia will be so hard for them and i think whoever the winner of this match probably with slim score and besides that if the match ended again with penalty kick i think Croatia have good chances to win the match considering since 2018 Croatia was never been lose from penalty kick

Reports from the media say that Argentina is one of the favorite candidates to win the 2022 World Cup. There are many factors that support Argentina to win this prestigious trophy, including the existence of the superstar, Lionel Messi.

Imagine, so far Messi has proven to have played a very important role in Argentina's steps to the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup. La Pulga has scored 4 goals.

Not only that, Messi also plays an important role as the creator and captain of the team. Messi's movement on the field has helped his team-mates to find space in the Argentinian attack line. Therefore, there have been accusations that Argentina is too Messi-centric, too dependent on Messi. Interestingly, the Argentine players did not seem to try to refute the accusations.


The presence of Lionel Messi in the Argentinian attack line is very important, many opportunities and goals are created because of his skill with the ball. He is a genius in football, no doubt because he won seven Ballon dór titles in almost two decades. This is the most awaited moment in his football career and I hope he gets what he wants with Argentina to win the 2022 world cup.
