Argentina are better than Croatia attacking wise but I don't see them better than there counterpart in the other departments. Defensively Argentina are better just on paper but the world Cup performance of Sosa, loveren, Gvardiola and juranovic have been better than Argentines. The Argentina defence are shaky in this competition even as the manager opted for a five man defence against Netherlands it still conceded 2 quick goals
Argentina have an issue of killing the game off early and it will affect them against the Croatians
Exactly, Argentina need to find an early goal. If match goes on 0-0 Croatia will have big advantage. It's World Cup semi final game so I understand teams need to be careful and play cautious.
Heavy favorites got eliminated so Argentina and Messi have to use this opportunity. There is no room for errors. I'm not sure if we should expect less goals because almost whole world expect that. Maybe an early goal would change game plan of both teams. I think we should be careful about our bets as well.
