I picked Croatia vs France. And this time Croatia will cinch the title. But I don't trust the unholy alliance of Qatar and FIFA, so Morocco could be the surprise winner. They are a great team, not withstanding the rumours so who knows. 😆

Even with the rumours, if they do win, people will believe it. Morocco has been probably one of the most consistent teams this WC. They don't underestimate any opponent of theirs and they play to win.

But I don't know why I feel the referees are biased towards Croatia. They seem to be getting away with a lot with either a free kick or no action from the referee. And they fake so many injuries and the referee keeps falling for it.

Seconded👍🏼

It's a gamble....they took it and cause them heavy price.They have the world best penalty kicker how can they go so wrong?I know Neymar is always 5th kicker but they could have given Vini/Silva/Casi/Dani/ Ral so many good kickers 1st choice

Example-- This Argentina team actually would have gone home since the conclusion of the first round of matches. Minus Messi's ingenuity, the team is too ordinary to qualify from the group stage on about of semi final.Where's Dybala, Lautaro and Di Maria? Argentina supposed to have the greatest attack in the World Cup but they're nowhere to be seen. This team is a real gamble and lucky as hell

My main issue with them holding the defense to concede goals against Croatia

I don't know why I feel that Croatia might beat Argentina. Last match Croatia was more in form than Argentina especially given the way Netherlands tied the game and then could have won the penalties if Messi hadn't gone first.

And I keep hoping that a miracle happens and Morocco beats France. Given the way both teams have played, Morocco has a very strong chance, but they will need to be in top form to do so.

I have a feeling that Croatia might beat Argentina too. But on the other side i want Argentina in the finals and beaten by France 🤔

Could be, Even Australian team gave them a tough fight. But still I feel Croatia dream run ends tonight. France vs Morocco could go either way. Let's see

I also feel like people are really underestimating France here and elsewhere on social media. Even without Benezema, Pogba and Kante, the senior most players they have been able to traverse through to semis. Now have the same outcome for ARG without Messi, they wouldn't have stood a chance. He carries the team. 😆

France deserves to make it to finals. With lack of proper leadership and loss of players, they have divided the burden among Mbappe, Giroud, Grizemann and others. The kinda haphazard playing against ENG was showing because of this, and I kinda feel this might be their downfall in the finals (I'm predicting they reach finals). But having seen Croatia play, they have amazing possession of ball and their goalie is their biggest weapon, I want Croatia to take it home. They have it coming long time. Morocco has scripted history anyway, and having a fantastic team they can take home the title next time I'm hoping. 😆

P. S. I'm in love with Livakovic and Mbappe (yea his antic against Kane didn't shake my faith) 😆

So I'm conflicted

Morocco is the dark horse absolutely, they have been performing consistently but nobody took much notice until they knocked out Portugal.

Ain't no tournament with no fake injuries. 😆 Argentina has been getting off easy too I feel. It's conflicting and hard to guess who stays in and gets out.

Exactly. Even the Spain knock out wasn't as talked about as Portugal. I don't think anyone expected Portugal to fall like that.

Argentina has been getting off easy. Somewhere I feel referees have been letting them off easy. Same with Portugal. Maybe because both teams will lose their star player after this WC. Of course, Argentina has been good, but they've been had with the VAR and offside goals. That does lead to the question that maybe previous WCs they wouldn't have done as well because they were typically offside.
