The Argentine team advanced to the semifinals of the World Cup in Qatar, after eliminating the Netherlands in a penalty shootout.

After a dramatic definition against 'Clockwork Orange', the Copa América champion is already setting his sights on the current vice-champion of the world. For this match, which will take place four years after the Croats' defeat of the team led at that time by Jorge Sampaoli (3-0), the 'Flea' Messi had bad news.
It turns out that two players saw the second yellow card against the Netherlands and will miss the commitment against Croatia. This is Marcos Acuña, who has been the starter on the right side, and will surely be replaced by Nicolás Tagliafico, and Gonzalo Montiel. The former River Plate player is a substitute for Nahuel Molina and will not be available to Scaloni.
The FIFA file opened to Argentina:
There was a series of controversies after the classification of Argentina, where Lionel Messi and Dibu Martínez criticized the refereeing, as well as confrontations against the Dutch. Despite this, there is no risk of sanction for any player. The journalist Gastón Edul pointed out that FIFA opens a file whenever there are more than five reprimands, but there will be no sanction apart from the two elements that accumulated his second yellow card.
