ponsaelius Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 The other thing about a Croatia - Netherlands semi is that there would have been about 1000 fans in total supporting the two teams. I am really glad at least one of the two South American sides got through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them have Messi. Argentina showed some character tbf even though they got thrown by the hoofballl in the last 20 mins of normal time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate them like I do Spain but there's a lot of similarities in the way they use possession to try and control the tempo of a game to its detriment. It's obviously excusable more though just because they're such a small country and a lot of their rotation attacking options play in Croatia. So I appreciate them a lot but I am getting to the point of simply having seen enough. Four penalty shoot out wins in a row is undoubtedly a lot of luck that deserves to run out.

Geogaddi Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Argentina aren’t all that , very average team with Messi carrying them , they won’t win the World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Commiserations to Unbelievable and ant other Dutch fans on here. As a neutral I'm pleased it's Argentina and I hope they win it if England don't. Surely they'll occupy one of those spaces in the final. Can't call the other side of the draw. You wouldn't be surprised if any one of the three strongest teams made it through, but if Greece can win a tournament and Leicester can win the Premier League, why can't Morocco defy everything and get to the final?

I’ve never believed that pens are about luck. The same countries fail regularly, and the same succeed regularly. Proof to me that it’s technique, not luck, at play.

Wullie Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 If England are going to lose tomorrow I hope it's 3-0. I feel emotionally drained now and this isn't even my team. Can't be doing with the trauma of extra time and/or pens again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that it is a 'lottery' is nonsense. But there is undoubtedly an element of it and the more you play the higher the odds of eventually losing one go up IMO. Even winning the toss and shooting first can be a huge advantage which is backed up by stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's quite unfair comment. Ofc for the neutral would be fantastic Arg-Bra. But Croatia for such a small country to repeat the feat of reaching semi final in a row is not only admirable but inspiring for all other smaller football teams around the world that they can achieve impossible. I think Argentina v Croatia will be amazing game on Tuesday and who knows maybe we send Messi crying home as well and beat the odds again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
