Croatia-Argentina first semi. Croatia has worked 7 of their last 8 matches to PK finishes. Messi hits a PK at the 34th minute, now Croatia has to attack instead of pack it back for 90+.
Argentina on a beautiful 11 second counter in response to a Croatia corner, Alvarez hits the back of the net, 2-0. 39th minute. Messi with a great pass along the way.
HT. 2-0.
Argentina wins 3-0. Their approximate 40k fans sang most of the second half.
Croatia’s worst defeat in WC. A beautiful example when your MO is playing for a tie to reach PKs (AKA playing not to lose) it can bite you in the backside.
Messi will set the WC record for most career games played on Sunday.

You WC watchers, let us know the outcome . . .
I was saying this the entire game. (watched recorded replay)
Morocco is a great story but France v Argentina has a chance to be the most entertaining final we've seen in our WC lifetimes.
Watching Messi dominate that game yesterday, the way he did, at his age, was just... magic.
