The stats say the complete opposite. Argentina press more than any other opponent and have more direct forward passes too. And to be honest I think you can see it too. Static is the last word I'd use to describe Argentina.

The most static team is Morocco.

Hopefully Gvardiol kicks Messi into UAE.

Though I quite like Croatia and their players, I'm not sure they deserve another World Cup final. They were great in 2018, but did not have the most difficult run and need ET and penalties on several occasions. This time around they needed penalties against both Japan and Brazil and drew with Morocco and Belgium in the group stage. I guess none of the four remaining teams has impressed much, but Croatia is in the semi-final after having won a single game.

This bland version of Croatia has zero chance to advance.

Argies are more cynical than naive lolzillians, more cuntish than Urgay and on top of that FIFA will secure the Messi fairytale at all costs

It's ogre

still underestimating Croatia? i think they deserve our respect by now

I respect them. I like them too. It's just that when I look at the facts, I'm not entirely convinced I want a team in the World Cup final that has won so little. The same goes for Morocco. It's fantastic what they have accomplished. But the reality is also that they sit back a lot, do not pressure aggressively and are in fact a very negative team to watch.

But, full disclosure, I really like Argentina this World Cup. They're always hideous cunts, only this time they're not trying to hide their true selves. I like their honesty.

I'm now a Gvardiol fan and I hope him bulldoze Laotaro tonight and punch him in the face.

Well, you have to be a bit of a cunt to win, unless you are prime Brazil full of 10/10 footballers.

Otamendi and Paredes are useful in that sense.

I still think they will have a hard time against Croatia who is extremely disciplined and hardworking. It will be an interesting match for sure.

Croatia are a difficult team to face with an incredibly talented midfield. One could argue it's the best in the world, except maybe France tend to have a little more physicality there (regardless of which of their infinite number of great midfielders plays). But their lack of teeth upfront is going to hurt them sooner or later. Even if they beat Argentina, I can only see them lose to France - again.

Forza Argentina. Was pretty warm on Croatia until I saw the video of a Thompson sing along session.

Ffs Balkan.

Croatia though across the board not that old but do these two key players have enough left in the tank?

Also if ARG needs a goal late I would inclined to put Dybala in over Martinez seeing his play so far.

I like it.

I think it's probably always been part of Messi's character, but a bit buried underneath. That might even be why he always came across as fake. And people can say what they want about Messi, but the way he celebrated his goal in the penalty shoot out was pretty intimidating and, to me, shows that Argentina will not surrender.

Sometimes being a cunt is actually more important. Materazzi 2006 comes to mind. There's not one single italian who would not want him in that final.

I agree.

I still believe we could have beaten France in 2018 had we actually selected Nainggolan and let him play that game instead of Dembele. Martinez thought of Radja's behaviour as a weakness, but for our squad of schoolboys it was definitely a strength.
