Just two wins, that’s all that it will take to lift the World Cup title. One of Argentina or Croatia can book their places in the final which felt like an unlikely proposition after the start of the World Cup as the two meet in the semifinals on Tuesday. Argentina have bounced back from an upset loss to Saudi Arabia while Croatia are establishing themselves as one of the most consistent teams in the world.
Both teams needed penalty victories to get here so while they’re confident if the matches go to extra time, the hope is that they don’t need another 120 minutes of soccer to progress to the next round. Lionel Messi is pushing to attain the one trophy that he doesn’t already possess, and this year Lionel Scaloni and Argentina have the supporting cast to help him do it. But standing in the way is Luka Modric and a Croatia team that won’t go down easily.
