Match Thread Argentina 3 - 0 Croatia

[The Cockney Don]

Tuesday 7pm.

Croatia to dig out a result again ?

[Ten Caat]

Croatia v Morocco is probably the final this WC deserves tbh

[alscotoz]

Argentina for me in regulation time. 2 or 3-1

[Rico1903]

Given the number of upsets that would probably be a fitting final. However, I’d say Messi lifting the trophy is probably what a lot of people want. Hoping for an Argie win for that reason.

Hope Morocco make it. A team that‘s greater than the sum of its parts.

Croatia to win the whole damn thing hopefully.  Fuck off French, Argentinian and Arab arseholes.

Hopefully doesn’t happen. Don’t get the love in for the argies. Only known for a handball goal and starting a war with the Brits. Get them sent home. Croatia France final with France to win

Kempes, Maradona and Messi is all that needs to be said. 

Not sure there’s a ‘love in’ though?

Croatia to win so I win the sweeper, Argies so Messi has a World Cup and Ronnie doesn’t, Morocco as it would be great for an African nation to win it and change the status quo with a big fuck you to the usual suspects that win it.

Would also be hilarious watching the coverage to hear Lineker et al saying none of them would get in the England team.

Just capable of independent thinking pal and not wanting them to do well cos everyone loves one player (who isn’t even the best player of the era)

You only hate Messi cause he’s taller than you.

I'd stop typing if I were you. You're just making yourself look silly.

This has got penalties written all over it! Then it’s Messi or Modric

I mean to inspire their respective team

They'll both be doing that for the rest of the 120 minutes, surely?

But this is the bit where I believe it will be most important, just my thoughts

If you get to 120 minutes then aye it becomes the most important bit because everything else has passed 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Thankfully, without the guffy influence we return to first principles.

Croatia have a hun involved.  Argies, French and Morocco don’t.

[Dynamo]

Up the Croats. 

[Ten Caat]

I suppose it makes sense to get behind the Croats in this one....if nothing else it'll ensure that Juranovic won't be back home in time to face us (even if they did go out he'd probably be rested rather than just get home and within 24 hours face a 150 odd mile bus journey north) and it'd probably rule Barasic out of the following game on the same basis.

When's our game? He'll still be there until Sunday as the 3rd and 4th play off will be late Saturday night
