Because it was even before. They just had extremly lack of luck- 1/4 2008 turkey goal in 120', 2012 no penalty vs spain in 90' (in group with 2 finalis), ref vs brazil 2014, 2016 portugal goal in 120' 1/8. 2016 was biggest chanse because croatia could be jn final vs spain (easy draw, portugal won lucky against croatia 1/8, poland was 1/4 and wales was 1/2)

Angertinians are people with big ego

Na no big egos at all just lovren saying he is the best defender in the world...

To the spot. You noticed, well said. The greatest among them, Modric, is the most humble dude on the planet. That´s the key of their success. The divas are not allowed into the squad. How could the other players in the team dare to be egos if the best player among them is the most humble one? An impossible logic.

Well you are next, top players, the team is in its best years, they have gathered experience, win that bucket when we are not already

Messy trash

@Patrick Donnelly this myth that he doesn't deliver in big games perplexes me. He averages close to a goal a game in major finals and has a track record of top performance in big games. I think the problem is he sets the bar so high that when he's below par it's really noticeable

@Patrick Donnelly he has delivered in big games against all of those teams bar Roma in his career though. Your suggestion that because he hasn't been at his best in a few big games that he doesn't turn up for them at all is tired and not borne out by evidence. I could provide a far far lengthier list of big games where he's turned in on and excelled. And he's largely performed very well for Argentina, he was the best player in both Copa America finals they made and a Higuain shank away from the World Cup. Both him and Cristiano are victims of their freakish consistency at times, if they don't have their best game it stands out more than anyone else

Ty for smashing Messi.

The Argentine team do not have what it takes to win it. They were lucky to have escaped against the Netherlands. They almost bottled a 2 goal lead and that is not what teams who win do. They panicked and almost bottled the Australia match too. They need to hold their nerves and play but they are not doing it. Croats on the other hand are a team who are very strong willed and they have a team that is better than Argentina except maybe Messi.

Ur all are funny. Ok you all arguing why Meza in front of Dybala.

Ok who do you think could be Argentina’s captain, lacklustre midfielders, inconsistent defenders, or attackers who have nowhere near the numbers and influence on the national team as Messi’s. Sure he’s not the strongest character in football, but there really isn’t anyone else worthy of the role as Argentina captain, people seem to forget the fact Messi scored a hat trick to get Argentina there as well...

@@pedropicapiedra7883 Agree, which is kinda insane, as Argentina historically dominated on those positions.
