Sorry I’m calling bullshit on 1978, there wasn’t any semi finals. it was some daft group thing and Argentina qualified after beating Peru (I think ) 600-0 in a game that wasn’t rigged.

Superb performance from Argentina. Hard working, full of talent. Messi brilliant and Alvarez going to be a star! Croatia are a tidy side and hats off to them for once again getting this far. Been great watching Morocco but hope we get a Argentina v France final now. Really enjoyed this World Cup.

media tonight. How Messi scores a penalty to beat Croatia 3-0.
Now in other news, how utd's Anthony Martial's countrymen, France will win the World cup

Something in the steely nature of the Argies that England just don't have. Sure they have Messi but there's much more to them than that. They defend for their lives and have an unbreakable resolve.

Come in Morroco, one last hurrah against the French then do the decent thing and step aside for Argentina!

It's been a fantastic tournament. I like it in the winter too. A break in the season feels good. I know all the Qatar stuff but it's been good football.

Can you imagine the French and the Argies in the final - the Sun'll be upset.
Shouldn't have jinxed it with that King Harry billboard in Paris.
Karma.

They are fast. We are slow.
