Hoping Argentina go through here. Be great to see Messi play in the final, and it will really piss England fans off.

Tbh I don't think its as much as a rivalry as it once was, not played a high profile world cup for a while and nobody bar boomers care about Falkland's/hand of god.

So why is Croatia so good consistently? Can’t be a fluke given this is two WC now
They emphasised technical ability before it was cool. Teams like that tend to come into their own at major tournaments because they involve lots of games in very hot weather, so keeping the ball is incredibly valuable. Basically the inverse of England’s long-running problems.

Modric being one of the absolute best midfielders in the world for like 15 years helps a lot. But they also had a great side in the 90s that played a similar way.

FIFA might as well hand the trophy to messi now, they get a pen every game. This is all a massive conspiracy
