I agree with you. Argentina are considerably stronger than Croatia in attacking and defense department. But Croatia played a game that looked like they were targeting from the start of the match that they would take the match to extra time. They also play the mind game well during the match. I don't think Argentina will want this match to go to extra time anyway, because they will never want to take the pressure of penalty shoot out after going into extra time.

In the last game, Croatia was really strong when they beat Brazil. Their midfielder was indeed able to make Brazil fail to build attacks properly because Croatia tends to dominate the midfield compared to Brazil. Midfield dominance in that game will be crucial, and Croatia may do the same against Argentina.

Argentina has many advantages over Croatia, but certainly has some weaknesses. Argentina has a tendency to get emotional quickly so it will be very bad when the game with high tension. Their quarter-final match was really bad, the game was so rough even though in the end they won the match. It is true that Argentina is expected to reach the final this time, however I will be looking forward to the two teams actually fighting for a ticket.

I believe that both teams got to the semi-finals for a reason and it is irrelevant to say that either team is stronger. Of course Argentina have more famous players, but the Croatian players also play for top European clubs. I would call the chances of winning this game the same. My guess is that it will end the same way as with Brazil on a penalty shootout.

I think the Argentina team is experienced and have remarkable player. However, those who qualify for the World Cup in the semi -finals they are definitely good team. Some prominent teams in the world cup who were eliminated from the World Cup. If Messi don't play in the Argentina squad, then I will pronounce that Argentina will comparatively a weaker team than Croatia. After all the match will play tomorrow and expect Croatia can perform well.

Well said as regards the impact of Messi on the Argentina squad. If they do get to the finals, they might win. Am hoping a stronger opponent like Morocco which has been a revelation for the African side, to face the Argentine side in the finals. France has been there in the finals more. Let Africa be in the finals. They have done well so far for a less dominant Continent.
