The world greatest footballers hopes of winning the only trophy left to add to his cabinet is now with in reach. Lionel Messi put on a masterclass and helped his Argentina side to a comfortable win over a dogged Croatian team. 3 - 0 would usually flatter a sides performance, but Argentinas win was well deserved and 3-0 could have been a lot more. For me this was Argentinas best performance of the tournament. Form start to finish, the chance of Argies loosing was never in danger. They looked so comfortable, looked strong all over the pitch. Thats not saying Croatia were bad, not at all, but the Argies were just on fire.
Argentina have now reached the World Cup final for the sixth time, doing so in two of the last three competitions. Only Germany (8) have reached more finals in the competition than Argentina, who are level with Italy and Brazil, who have also reached 6 semis.
They are just the second team in World Cup history to win two different semi-finals by a 3+ goal margin, ghe other team being Germany, also winning 6-1 versus USA way, way, way back in 1930.
STAT OF THE DAY: This was the biggest World Cup semi-final victory while keeping a clean sheet.
