Residents with ties to Croatia and Argentina share their thoughts on Tuesday’s semi-final matchup at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar
Over the past three weeks, the 2022 FIFA World Cup has witnessed an abundance of historic goals, dramatic upsets, and unforgettable moments.
Croatia earned a spot in the semi-finals for a second straight tournament on Friday after eliminating a heavily favoured Brazil side in penalty kicks. Despite heading into a tough test against superstar Lionel Messi and Argentina on Wednesday, Glavota has hope. “For them to make it to the final in 2018 was unbelievable,” he says. “After that, people were thinking we would have to wait another generation for this to happen again. And here they are four years later, back in the semi-finals.”
“I predict Croatia takes it 2-1,” he adds. “It’s going to be tough; I’m just hoping for a good game. We’ll see what happens.” He routinely watches every game with his dad, uncle, and brothers, and stays in touch with his family back in Argentina when they play.
