Not necessarily, not a rational thought because Croatia previous history of goal records was able to equal the score against Brazil and Japan so they could face a penalty match, but this match they were really unlucky and had to lose with an embarrassing score, Croatia's statistics did not dominate the goal attack to shot on target and Argentina had been in control in the match.
Indeed, maybe the first goal of penalty kick give infleunce tot he Croatia players, but I ma sure that they are profesional so this will not last longer infleuicng and they are able to focus again in the match. But here, Argentina was able to played excellently and effectively. Wecan see their spirit dring the match road tothe final, theywere awesome. I ma not a fan of Argentina, but seeing the match, I can admit that thye were awesome. Moroever their striker Alvares, he is incredible in the match. They also had Martinez that is very strong as the goalkeeper with many saves.
