Argentina beat Croatia, 3-0, in a World Cup semifinal, moving to within one win of its first world championship since 1986. The Argentine side beat the 2018 runner-up to advance to its 6th final, in which it will face either France or Morocco on Sunday.

Argentina leads Croatia 2-0 at halftime of their semifinal match at Lusail Stadium on the strength of Lionel Messi’s penalty kick goal and Julián Álvarez’s breakaway tally five minutes later.

Messi’s fifth goal of the tournament came after Croatia goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic took out Álvarez in the box. Livakovic, who made 11 saves in Croatia’s quarterfinal win over Brazil, guessed right but couldn’t get to Messi’s blast into the upper right corner of the net. Álvarez scored his third goal in Qatar on a terrific individual effort in the 39th minute. Off a Croatia corner kick, the ball found itself on the Manchester City forward’s foot just before midfield. He maintained possession, dribbling between multiple Croatian defenders, before reaching the box and flicking a shot past Livakovic. Croatia is still looking for its first shot on target.

COMO TE DUELE LA COLA

No los veo llorar por qué Croacia tiene todos jugadores blancos.

Por que no hay jugadores gordos en Argentina? Gordofobia?

🎶'Y no me importa lo que digan esos putos periódistas , la puta que lo parió..hay que alentar a la selección 🎶

Sorry 😂😂😂

erikaedwardsnbc ?!!

Why was this racist country allowed to compete? Based on your story, with the Argentine black population of .4%. At least one one of these players must have one black great grandparent to properly represent their black population.

but why is there no black people in Korea team? why is there no yellow people in Argentina team? why is there no alien in earth. is earth racist? why I am not a manager of Elon musk's company. Elon Musk should hire us based on our skin color, or he is racist

Argentina un país mucho MENOS RACISTA que Estados Unidos.

Perspective: The Morocco team needs more white guys with blue eyes.

The French team needs more diversity !! There is not a single french guy, they are all africans !

Mañana juegan dos equipos 'africanos'...pelotudos!!

Y TODOS BLANQUITOS, DIARIO DE CUARTA, PASQUIN DE MIERDA

HOLA VOLVIMOS! WE'RE BACK WaPo WaPo tell how it feels having daddy back home we swear years from today we will never forget How GordoChoto_ ratio you because we are a Country and not a Disney agenda plot. LTA

If I would use a bit sarcastic and racist humour I would say - Now it is sure that ahead is s first Afro-American final in FIFA world cup , which is historical imho.

The genius rises to the occasion- Messi shows his class, well played Argentina 🇦🇷 Go and lift the World Cup
