At the final whistle, Messi walked off the pitch with his brow locked, as if he couldn't believe what was going on. Last night's world cup can be described as a blast, so do you think Argentina have a big chance to qualify? In the second round of group D of 2018 World Cup group match, Argentina was defeated 3-0 by Croatia. In two games, pampas Eagles only got 1 point, and the hope of reaching the top 16 is in jeopardy.
In this game, Argentina still failed to solve the problem of not scoring. The ball control rate reached 58%, but the number of shots and shots were lower than Croatia. Messi has only one shot under Croatia's tight guard. Before Leipzig broke the goal, the two teams could form a standoff on the court, but the low-level mistakes of Caballero made the balance of victory suddenly tilt. The 0-1 score was obviously unacceptable to Argentina, and the attack was their only choice, which hit Croatia. The attack combination of Modric, manjujic, lakti and pericic has embarrassed the Argentine defence through repeated counterattacks. If it wasn't for atamendi's angry foul to escape a red card and lakti's free kick to hit the post, I'm afraid that this game will be a tragedy in this world cup.
After the game, Modric, who was re elected the best player of the game, paid tribute to Argentina, saying: 'although we won easily from the result, the process was actually very difficult. We played a perfect game and only a perfect performance can beat a great team like Argentina. '
0-3, which is Argentina's biggest score loss in the World Cup group match in the past 60 years. Two matches are tied and one is lost, which is also the worst start of Argentina's group match in the past 44 years. Maradona is still sitting in the stands, but the Argentina team in front of him is no longer invincible in the world cup. Even Messi is in the deposition. Although he is still the most brilliant star on the field, the result of 12 shots in two games makes him feel powerless.
Croatia scored 6 points in the two games, basically locked a top 16 seat, while the match between Iceland and Nigeria will start on the 22nd, and Argentina has handed over the initiative of group qualification to others. In the third round, they will play Nigeria in the World Cup group for the fifth time. It is gratifying to Argentine fans that this match ended with Argentina's victory. Even so, Argentina is likely to be blocked out of the top 16, and this year is likely to be the last time Messi, 31, stands in the world cup. If Argentina is really in the group match Out of the game, this result is a little cruel for Messi.
"Sanchi" won a 3-0 lead from Croatia and Argentina
