Croatia and Argentina will decide who goes to the World Cup final on Tuesday at the Lusail Iconic Stadium. Argentina, in a match in which they led 2-0, came to save their lives on penalties after the Dutch scored in the 110th minute of regular time after a brilliant free kick. The Croats knocked out the first favorites for the title after a better penalty shootout. The hero of another victory was the young goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic, who brilliantly defended the entire match. He had as many as 11 defenses, which is an absolute championship record. Croatia will certainly approach this match in the same way, because they know that the longer Argentina does not lead, the more nervous the South Americans will be. For the Argentinians, this will certainly be the most difficult rival, given that they have not played with a very strong national team so far. The Dutch are good, but I think Croatia is a much better team than them at the moment. That's why the odds are quite strange that Argentina is a bigger favorite against Croatia than against Denmark. Argentina will play in this match without Marcos Acuna and Montiel, the former was the first choice at left back while Gonzalo Montiel was a replacement for Nehuel Molina. Of course, in Argentina, everything revolves around Lionel Messi and the whole game will be subordinated to him, which has brought results so far. Also, he has great protection from the referees, which we saw in the match with the Netherlands. What certainly cannot make football fans happy in the last few years is the approach of the players when the matches enter the knockout phase. All teams are calculating a lot and it can be seen that they are all looking forward to penalties and extra time. This is understandable given the importance of these games, but it is already a bit boring. Croatia will certainly try to get extra time and I think they will probably succeed in that. They are the runners-up of the world and have a team that is capable of defending as they have proven in previous games. Argentina has worn out a lot mentally and physically against the Netherlands and I think that they will also enter this duel very calmly. Bookmakers favor Argentina because everyone wants to see the France-Argentina final, but there is still a lot of fighting ahead of us. All in all, I expect an uninteresting game with a lot of fouls, interruptions and other obstructions. In my opinion, Croats are at an advantage because they have nothing to lose, they eliminated Brazil, so now they are very mentally strong. Argentina really have something to lose and will surely enter this duel cautiously. Therefore bet falls on Croatia not to lose this game in 90 minutes.

克罗地亚和阿根廷将于周二在卢塞尔标志性体育场决出谁能进入世界杯决赛。在这场2-0领先的比赛中,荷兰队在常规时间第110分钟的一次精彩任意球破门,阿根廷队在点球大战中挽救了自己的生命。克罗地亚人在点球大战中淘汰了夺冠热门。另一场胜利的英雄是年轻的门将多米尼克·利瓦科维奇(Dominik Livakovic),他出色地防守了整场比赛。他有11次防守,这是一个绝对的冠军纪录。克罗地亚肯定会以同样的方式对待这场比赛,因为他们知道阿根廷不领先的时间越长,南美人就会越紧张。对于阿根廷人来说,这肯定是最困难的对手,因为他们到目前为止还没有和一支非常强大的国家队一起比赛。荷兰队很好,但我认为克罗地亚队现在比他们强得多。这就是为什么阿根廷对阵克罗地亚比对阵丹麦更受欢迎的原因。阿根廷将在这场比赛中没有马科斯·阿库纳和蒙蒂尔,前者是左后卫的第一人选,而贡萨洛·蒙蒂尔是内维尔·莫利纳的替补。当然,在阿根廷,一切都围绕着梅西,整个比赛都服从于他,这也带来了目前为止的结果。此外,他在裁判面前有很好的保护,我们在与荷兰的比赛中看到了这一点。在过去几年里,让球迷们感到不快的是,当比赛进入淘汰赛阶段时,球员们的态度。所有球队都在算计,可以看出他们都在期待点球和加时赛。考虑到这些游戏的重要性,这是可以理解的,但它已经有点无聊了。克罗地亚肯定会争取到加时赛,我认为他们很可能会成功。他们是世界亚军,拥有一支有能力防守的球队,因为他们在之前的比赛中已经证明了这一点。面对荷兰,阿根廷在精神和身体上都很疲惫,我认为他们也会非常冷静地进入这场对决。博彩公司看好阿根廷队,因为每个人都想看法国对阿根廷的决赛,但我们前面还有很多战斗。总而言之,我认为这是一场无趣的比赛,有很多犯规、干扰和其他阻碍。在我看来,克罗地亚人是有优势的,因为他们没有什么可失去的,他们淘汰了巴西,所以现在他们的心理非常强大。阿根廷真的会失去一些东西,他们肯定会谨慎地进入这场决斗。因此,我打赌克罗地亚不会在90分钟内输掉这场比赛。
