Four countries left, Croatia, Argentina,France and Morocco are in the semi finals and rather than traditional football it is brawn and trickery that will leave two teams facing each other in the Final.

tough way to go out for a team that showed a lot of toughness throughout this tournament. argentina obviously has crazy talent...and when they play their best, then they're hard to beat.

The assist for the 3rd goal from Messi was simply magnificent
He's playing on a different level
To all the haters
You cannot not look at all the stats, accomplishments and awards and say he isn't top 3 all time
And if/when he wins a world cup , there will be no doubt he will be the GOAT

I don`t know about Messi being the "Goat" ....But he`s definitely one of the all time best football/soccer players to ever play the game

Some say he already is the goat
I'm on the fence still, he needs that world cup to make it there

Nah, France gonna win like 2-0 or 3-0

France won the world cup 4 years ago, there's zero pressure on the players now to win another one, they're just playing for fun at this point lol.

Meanwhile Argentina/Morocco are desperate for a world cup so they're more likely to make mistakes, Morocco especially since it's a semi-final which they've never been in.

Plus with Ninja turtle Mbappe and Giroud and Greaseman (Lol) their attack is ridiculous.

Don't be like Portugal and underestimate your opponent
They were also coming off a world cup win in 2002 and loss to Senegal and Denmark
France needs to come out of the gate and land a haymaker
Then continue to play like they're behind
Can't wait for Argentina -France finals

Portugal never underestimated their opponents, they overestimated their own coach, who is hopefully getting fired

France doesn't need to win another world cup, there's zero pressure on the players to do so, of course winning two in a row is a huge achievement but no-one is going to shoot them if they didn't.

Argentina however.....

I see almost no chance Morrocco takes it today however it would be cool to see someone like them go the finals...

Then hopefully France can finish off Argentina...

If Morocco beats France, Argentina is guaranteed to win the World Cup.

Arg is hoping for a brutal, 120 min +10 at each extra time, then a crushing blow to somebody on 5+ shots from the mark.

Mboppe can make some magical goals, but he certainly isn't anywhere near the total player Messi is.

If they go to penalty shootouts, the player that misses their shot and loses the team the world cup will never recover.
