Croatia If they can play well from the beginning to the end, then Croatia team will have a big chance to win. But I think Croatia may not play very well in this match. Because Argentina is number 1 among the 4 teams that are still alive. In position. If Croatia can beat a team like Argentina then I think Croatia will win the final this time.
If your reason Argentina has higher rank among the other clubs, then I could give an excuse on the quarter final if Brazil is on top 1 position among the other clubs, but when the match happen Brazil is lost to Croatia, what you take on this?
Most popular clubs will play to pressure their opponent and to score many goals, Argentina also did this when they faced weak club. Croatia never play with attacking strategy, they always do counter attack.
I don't expect their will score many goals, so I will bet below 1.25 in this match.
Wow, it's interesting I think if in this match still only get a final result that is even below 1.25 because I think this match will probably have a few goals and I believe Messi can provide a good pass and or Messi's movement can open up gaps to be converted into goals. If at normal times, whether it's in the first half or second half, Argentina managed to score a goal, then of course the match would be more open and that would make them have another goal in normal time.
I think the gameplay in the semi-finals will be very different from their gameplay in the quarter-finals, because ending the match faster without extra time will of course be better for them to get maximum rest time.
Indeed, it is not correct to say that one of the teams is the best team, because even Brazil, which is basically the best team with great potential to win the title, can still be beaten by Croatia.
Therefore, I personally only consider them with the gameplay they have, even though so far the non-seeded teams have only played defensively and only rely on counterattacks to score goals. But if the seeded team can make better penetration, then of course the non-sedeed team's defense will also be penetrated.
