Argentina - Croatia Match Preview

The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar has come all the way to the semi-finals. In the first semi-final played tomorrow, Argentina will face Croatia. Can Croatia eliminate another giant from South America from the 2022 World Cup? It will not be easy for them.

Croatia is on the brink of reaching back-to-back finals of the FIFA World Cup. Only Germany, Netherlands, and Italy have one that in the past. After a poor start against Morocco, this team has been playing great football. Their goalkeeper, Dominik Livakovic has saved them so many times, and he will have a lot of work to do tomorrow. An important part of the team is also Josko Gvardiol, who is one of the best defenders in the competition.

Argentina won the FIFA World Cup for the last time in 1986. They were very close in 2014 when they lost in extra time to Germany. This team has Lionel Messi who is perhaps the best player ever. Messi was in the team in the last match Argentina played against Croatia, which took place at the 2018 World Cup. The match ended 3:0 for Croatia. Argentina will look for revenge for that debacle, four years later.

The match's importance is huge. Neither of these two teams will want to rush things, so I believe there will not be a lot of goals. This could be Messi's final chance to lead Argentina to World Cup glory. Croatia will need much more than good defenders and a goalkeeper to win the match.
