goal 1: bs penalty
goal 2: tap in after lucky deflections, no once but twice

goal 3: messi magic and class. what an assist!

and to be fair, croatia might have dominated possession for a while in the first half, but it's not like they created any serious threat.

y aparece el Argentino Catalano

Messi!!!

Well no sadly no surprise today.

Can't say it's heartbreaking, because nobody expected Croatia to have a chance to beat Brazil, Argentina and France in a row, but it's always sad seein the legend Luka Modric exit with WC.

Hats off to Croatia; I don't think many people would have predicted they'd survive for so long. This country is amazing... to put things into perspective, with just 30 years of history and a population of 4M people, they've already reached WC semis more times than countries like Spain.

Hope we can at least have an upset in tomorrow's derby.

croatia what a letdown today



top 4 in two consecutive cups, thats amazing for them

Do you believe what the German Bild paper says? That Argentina should be not allowed to win the world cup because they are "bad boys"?

I dont read newspapers like BILD because they make the biggest Propaganda out of everything, argentina will win this world cup no matter if its against morocco or france

Hopefully because Maria Messi Dybala Alvarez and many more well deserve it. So much more than some arrogant Mbappe or arrogant EU pricks only scoring from standard situations.

Messi really delivers even at 35years. And the trust they have in each other will help them win this last game

fuck the bild, fuck axel springer in general. whoever reads and believes their shit is a dumb person by definition. that said, argentina traditionally aren't exactly a likeable football nation. they are incredibly sore losers, and this time around they have proven to be bad winners as well (against the netherlands). that does, however, not mean they don't deserve to be in the final, they clearly do. amongst what i considered the top 3 teams prior to the world cup (france, brazil, argentina) i thought they were the weakest, with a questionable defence and midfield - but they clearly stepped up their game after their initial loss, and were very solid and organised. so in regards to the football they play, i couldn't really say anything bad against them.



dybala, lol? what has HE done to "deserve it"? he's the embodiment of wasted talent imo. not arguing about messi and di maria - both are obviously amazing football players, and have been for a long time. alvarez is still very young, but certainly is on a good path too...
