messi's best world cup by far.........he got his country to two world cup finals. defo a better international career than ronaldo.

disappoimting from Croatia, maybe the extra time games have taken it out of them

This will be Argentinas 5th World Cup final since 1978,thats quite a record !!

Yes we’ll played mes

Had 2-0 and 3-1 but Croatia are turd and haven’t looked like scoring

France into 6th major final from 1998 Is a good record

what's the Argentina economy like these days? Can't be that strong, can it? Surprised so many of them can afford it.

only the 2nd SF since 86 won by 2 or more in 90 mins. The other was Brazil v Germany 1-7.

just look at their faces ,theyre argies alright ,stories of people ther selling houses,cars to make the  journey ,as they really fancied themselves this time after their long unbeaten run .

argentina has a population of 47 million........they have plenty of wealthy people as well...........

You'd have to hope France win tomorrow or there mightn't be another enjoyable game

Hope France win the whole thing so we dont have listen to constant 5hite about Messi being the goat (Great player that he is)

That game this evening was awful. Knew after 5mins Croatia were toast as they passed it backwards and looked scared of making a mistake rather than being positive. Gvardiol is the epitomy of modern football. If you are either Big of quick, you will go for 50m minimum

100m for him and hes had his pants pulled down all night ffs

****

The full stadiums at these Argentina games for me tells a story

They set it up for most other nations to boycott it through their media propaganda but the Argentines were given freebies and free tickets...

The Messi thing totally makes sense now. The true biblical energy tournament.

Argies now the team with most penos awarded in single tournament.

The first pen tonight was a joke. Keeper stood his ground and got run into.

Croatia though were awful tonight. The 2nd and 3rd goal were amateur hour. No player in either case should be able to run that long with the ball. You step in as a defender and take the yellow if needed. Only Kovacic and the keeper took a yellow

I still cant wrap my head around anyone paying over 100m for that centre back. Lovren was shocking as well.
Too many old legs and no young ones coming through. Croatia are funny. Kick on 4 years and they might not qualify for the next world cup with so many of their big names aging.
