    Is anyone getting worried about Messi and Argentina

    I am worried and nervous about this semi final game against Croatia they have a brick wall defense and are capable of a counter attack goal.

    even those who personally know you might not care. you realize it when a life changing event happens. it is sad. my dad passing showed me a lot of shit with people who you thought would reach out and never did.

    to answer slayer's real point though is i think messi will have a tough time in this game

    Is Croatia not a power team? Only 1 loss (2018 finals) between the last 2 World Cups.

    Croatia is no joke.

    Messi dealt with much tougher against the Germans in 2014 though. That team quadruple teamed him in the final, no one has ever done that on a soccer field, ever. That just shows you Messi is the best ever and it's not close. His squad isn't great this year but neitehr are any of the other 4 teams, this is probably the weakest semis in a few decades, so anything is possible. Croatia is just a team that plays for 1-0 victories, I don't think those teams deserve to go through. Let's see what happens.

    And don't forget in 2018, the only team that gave France a real scare, other than Belgium in the semis, was Argentina. So the last 2 cups, Messi lost to the world champs. Ppl saying Ronaldo and Maradona are better? Lol. Joke.

    Argentina's defense isn't too shabby either. And they're all playing harder for messi.

    It's pretty maddening they haven't figured out how to pair Dybala with Messi. It's tough to leave a top 50 player in the world on your bench. But if they win it all, no one will second guess it. Argentina need Di Maria healthy for this game. Messi needs some help. Yeah defense is solid with Romero and Otamendi, solid keeper. They won't fall apart defensively. I'm surprised to see Croatia come this far, they should have been out in the group stage. Were outplayed in 2/3 games.

    Lmao. Let me guess it's his fault that Spain, Portugal, england and Germany all lost? I mean let's blame him for Croatia beating Brazil as well. Who knows maybe Morocco can beat France and if he somehow beats Croatia he will get to face weak ass Morocco the team that beat France and Portugal and Spain.

    k13 is just a hater, he hates ronaldo, hates messi, hates anyone who looks good in the public eye. In 2010 he hated spain too because they had big name players. He hated kobe, he hates lebron, guy doesn't like anyone. He wanted a team like germany to go all the way for sure.

    Odds says it all I think and the fact that all the casuals from my work assumes Morocco Croatia will be in the finals. I have argentina and france both to qualify just for the safer side on my parlays

    Germany " quadruple teamed him in the final " LOL Basten Schweinsteigger owned Messi one on one. IF you look it up , you will find that he shut him down with Bayern ( i believe it was 7 - 0 over the 2 legs in 2013 and continued through his career ) . I am very respectful of Messi's abilities and rank him as 1 of the greatest to ever lace up boots , but Basten took him on by himself and won their battles. I believe he was 8 - 0 against him with Bayern/Barca and Germany/Arg.

    of course not Franz. Casual football fans, which i think Stepaside was referring to, hate players like Tom Brady, Lebron James, Messi, Mbappe etc.

    I assumed he meant " casuals " who are temp workers that havent been hired on full/part time. I guess there are people who dislike popular people in general , but watching either one play would surely change your mind imo

    Looking forward to a great game today. Messi vs Modric should be an interesting battle. Enjoy

    Cheers

    Even if it did Argentina have nothing to fear. They have a great penalty kicks history.

    It was a no brainer on whether or not it was a PK. The VAR was to question if the yellow card to the keeper should have been red. I didnt see a lot of Croatian players disputing the call either
