@chris_sutton73 Do you know that Argentina has never lost a semi-final match before in the world cup. They won all semi-final matches they've played in the tournament and went ahead to win three and also lose three finals.
@PoojaMedia Something is funny about the team. Even though their playing style has not been convincing and emphatic enough, they've scored the most goals (17) in this tournament.
@BrotherRasheed@Jbribeiro1Wiki There was best third place team system in 1986, 1990 & 1994 world cups due to the 24 team format then and these issues also happened e.g Brazil vs Argentina in R16 of 1990 (2 former champion s).
@sakatalex94@StrategyEmerg Apart from the rest part, it will give the 2nd & 3rd place teams the opportunity to play a match extra over group winners thereby increasing the chance of scoring more goals and winning golden boot & man of the match award for some players in the 2nd/3rd team
@TouchlineX That was how they were supposed to meet in the quarter final of 2018 world cup only for both of them to be knocked out in R16 by France & Uruguay
@Banjy47 It's somehow funny that despite Croatia making it surprisingly to a 2nd & 3rd position in 2018 & 2022 world cup respectively, they are still not highly rated by most observers.
