I would say that Croatia has the better TEAM.

It can be argued that Argentina has the better player, but that player is only effective on the offensive side of the ball. Croatia's timeless warrior is highly effective going both directions.

It will be interesting to see how this game is officiated. If the officiating is stern, yet fair, then I would put Croatia as the favorites. If el árbitro has been instructed to help out a Qatari owned PSG player, then I would say that Argentina could be the slight favorites.

I would expect that Croatian high pressing will lead to at least one Croatian goal after shitty play from the Argentine back line/goalkeeper.

Both sides will dive, but Argentina will dive more. (Don't know what the prop bet is on dives, but take the OVER for the match and for Argentina to cover.)

We all know who you're cheering for. You're the better team. Croatia is a great side but Brazil had zero excuse not beating them. Their window was last WC. Argentina should play this straight up and win in regulation. Netherlands was a more difficult test imo. 

Croatia has made the final in 2018 and the semifinal in 2022 with zero knockout wins after 90 minutes.  Pretty safe to say they'll be playing for kicks again.

And their keeper is nails. 

And the entire squad seems to have ice in its veins.

Croatian players approach PKs with an attitude that reveals that is where they wanted and expected to be. They have studied the goalie and approach each shot as a collective five shot strategy. They knew the Brazil goalie likes to guess and go early so they shot the first two down the middle. Once they had him hesitating, where ever they wanted to go was wide open.

There are only 4 more games, so most refs have been “sent home”, but it is funny to read that headline. 

Croatia. 3-1. Defense holds the Argentine attack and counters like the Brits taking Port Stanley. 

If I have to go with one of two Nazi loving nations, gotta be the one with less population. And I am not a fan of the Croats, but as the joke goes. 

Argentina was giving the riches of the world, the last part of the world where God dropped resources. He emptied his bag (her, she, don't want to get yelled at) and the world said "what? Are you kidding?"

God said, "wait until you meet the Argentines."

FIFA wants a France/Argentina final. Just to screw Qatar, I'm hoping it's Croatia/Morocco in the final.

If Morocco is in the final, the stadium will be packed, all of the Arab, Muslim, and African countries will be glued to the set and FIFA’s influence in “Developing Nations” will be stronger than ever.

No matter what the matchup is out of the four possibilities in the final, there is going to be an “all-white”-ish* team in the final vs a “people of color with plenty o’ muslims” team in the final. 

My guess is that some at FOX are aware of this, but it will not be addressed on any broadcast. 
 

 

*As Swayze & friends have noted, many Argentines have “creole” backgrounds of European, Arican descent, & indigenous people (South American descent). No geneticists have been able to detect what Di Maria’s background is though “Italian & Silly Putty” seem to be two ingredients that everyone can agree on. As for Di Maria’s teammates, most of the world would state that they are predominantly of European descent… and most likely they are all Catholic, although the country has had Jewish players in the squad in the past. My guess is that the Croatians are all Catholic/Eastern Orthodox-ish. 

Its about that time.

no cap, wishin it was tina v brasil

I just hope Argentina doesn’t lose too many players to the inevitable snipers that are lying in wait.

I prefer the Croatian uniforms with more Red. Love the Argentina jersey.

Wow, 67 year old Modric running all the way back in his box to defend

Wow, Route 1

Always a penalty.

And that's how you do it.  With pace to the top of the net.

When the pressure was on - no doubt.

Well now things get interesting since Croatia can't play for penalties.

I missed it. I was in the kitchen flipping the Grilled-Cheese sandwich.

And, he makes the PK.

It's cool guys. Lovren has this.
