Why is Perez lower case

Why are you disrespecting Caballero

Why was Tagliafico at LCB

Why is Meza in the starting XI

To be fair Argentina were big favorites in 2018 just like they are tomorrow. I do think 2022 team is better overall.

Rooting for Leo but Croatia is the other team I would most like to see win it all. As long as France drops the ball against Morocco in the other game, I'll be happy

Only by the who aren’t paying attention that argentina was trash and barely qualified last day of the qualifiers

 

[TheGreenTBer]

gonna miss this one and i'm not happy about it.

Aguente HFboards, la CSM!

 

[jcs0218]

Many Cristiano Ronaldo fans want to see Argentina lose tomorrow.

Coach as well

Croatia's bread and butter is its midfield obviously. The game will come down to that if Argentina allows them to do their thing and whiz the ball around freely, they'll win. However, if RDP gets healthy enough for 90 minutes and can run like the maniac he is, he would be able to disrupt their rhythm and pressure Modric and Kovacic. If he needs replacing it should be Palacios and not Paredes for the love of god.

Do you think Scaloni is going with a 3-5-2 again? Or go nack with 4-3-3?

Even though Di Maria didn’t look good in this WC, I‘d like to see him start on the LW.

"This commercial by Quilmes on the coincidences between life and football (someone would call them Useless Statistics) does not serve to understand or even predict the future; but, more simply, to hope. However you think about the Argentines, they are really unplayable in this kind of thing."

Brividi!

It's either a 4-4-2 with Paredes the extra midfielder or 4-3-3 if ADM is ready to start. Im conflicted as they're better with ADM but I also would like him fresh for the final if they get there.

 

[Power Man]

Tough one to call

I think Croatia is gonna is gonna win this one, but you never know with Messi, he will probably pull a rabbit out of his hat, especially with Alvarez and Molina making good runs to keep keep the defense honest

I’ve flipped flopped about a dozen times on this one. The end of the day I am picking Argentina. Only 50.1% sure though.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

4-4-2 Paredes in and ADM on the bench. Hopefully he gets 30 mins. This does free Enzo up which I've been craving since he came to Europe. Dont like it overall as id rather another forward in there but trust Scaloni.

Getting the numerical advantage in the midfield, which is Croatia's strength, has its own benefits.

Yup, another guy there to disrupt them could be a good thing. Just not in full confidence of Paredes given his lackluster play.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Win or lose I hope Enzo watches Modric like a hawk. Perfect player to replicate.

 

[S E P H]

Arg definitely has the advantage in depth, but for the love of God Croatia beat them because they need to be humbled.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Good vibes only .

 

[Live in the Now]

Come on Leo.

 

[Savant]

This is a really narrow set up, for Argentina

 

[These Are The Days]

Croatia are completely dauntless right now

 

[Live in the Now]

So this ref is going to do differently than the Netherlands game. As soon as Croatia ran in to dissent he reached for his pocket even though he didn't take the card out. That will probably take care of that problem and the game should be a lot cleaner.

Yeah that was a missed yellow against Argentina
