Could Argentina tire and allow Croatia to come back late into the match?

Peter Walton, what do you think?
Old brazzer sees cock, opens her legs, looks over her shoulder, can’t see any impediment, beckons from afar, pulls a fetlock, get in, get out. Never in doubt.
A dull jobsworth doing things by the book.

Not just through tiring. Croatia could easily score with better final balls and finishing and Argentina will get the fear.kancutlawns wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 7:54 pm Could Argentina tire and allow Croatia to come back late into the match?

Re: Semi-finals: Argentina vs Croatia on 13th December
One for sub. What do you think of this answer on quora to the question, Why do so many people all across the world support Argentina when they haven't won many World Cups, and there are other countries that play much better? https://www.quora.com/Why-do-so-many-pe ... uch-better

Crazy about futbol (soccer)4y
I’m an Argie living in the US, and I have spoken to a number of Indian and Pakis, which are among the places with lots of albiceleste supporters.
The obvious part is, for large, highly populated countries with no football culture of their own, or at least no success in the international arena, supporting a powerful third party seems only natural. Fine. But why Argentina? The “not many World Cups” argument is meaningless, since we have won two, and only Brazil, Germany, Uruguay and Italy are in that “2 or more WCs” league. Still, Brazil has many fans in India and Pakistan, but not the others. And as I understand it, Argentina is more popular.
Hmmm.
What I gather from my friends is, they like the fact that Argentina is definitely third world. Young, poor Asian fans can easily relate to most of our players, straight out the shantyvilles, often dating hot women of dubious brains and even worse morals, and making huge financial messes of their incredibly high wages. And a certain Diego Maradona comes to mind -not only coming from the deep abyss of abject poverty like a veritable Slumdog Millionaire, but continuously defying the system, insulting the rich nations of the West and snorting all the coke that pasts near his nose (I also know Maradona is exceedingly popular in Africa, see last paragraph).
This should straight out exclude Germany and Italy. As for Uruguay… only explanation I can find is, most people don’t even know where they are located. A laughing Homer Simpson once told Marge “hey, look at this country’s name: you-are-gay”. It pains me to no end to say this, for I admire their sheer determination and never give up mindset; as I write this they just dispatched Portugal and the “other” king of football, CR7. (Vamo’ la celeste carajo!)
But why not Brazil? After all, Brazilian favelas get a lot more press than Argie villas miseria. For that, I’ll have to call a different witness, an affable Nigerian guy I met in Washington DC; discussing football idols, he confessed his adoration for El Diego. But when I (in the spirit of conciliation) mentioned Pele, he dismissively said “ah, he sold out to the man”. I can’t say for sure whether many foreign fans share this concern, but it seems believable that, at least, it can make a dent in the otherwise made in heaven match of Brazilian success and poverty.

Can't remember what game, but they said they stopped showing his boat on the big screen due to the boos.

I note that pundit Karen Carney is slagging her way around every single TV network during the World Cup. One minute she's on BBC then she rolls onto ITV and by tomorrow she'll be back on the Beeb.
Whatever happened to pundits sticking to one channel as part of the coverage team for the tournament?
Pundits shouldn't be employed on an independent contractor basis IMO.
