Where is Argentina vs Croatia being played?
Argentina v Croatia will take place at the Lusail Iconic Stadium - which is located slightly to the north of Doha.
The ground has a capacity of nearly 90,000 and is a purpose built facility for the tournament and was only opened a year ago shortly after its construction was complete.
Argentina have already played at the venue, losing their opening game to Saudi Arabia 2-1 in one of the all-time biggest World Cup shocks.
Location: Lusail, Qatar
Stadium: Lusail Iconic Stadium
Argentina vs Croatia preview
The shocking loss to Arabia Saudi now probably looks more like an anecdote for Argentinian fans now that their team is already in the World Cup semifinals.
Although La Albiceleste had an embarrassing start to the competition, they managed to bounce back with victories over Mexico and Poland to top Group C.
The two-time champions defeated the Netherlands in the quarterfinals (4-3 on penalties) after they both completed the previous 120 minutes with a 2-2 draw in the best World Cup game so far and will now face Croatia, who beat No. 1 favorites Brazil also on penalties after both teams scored in overtime (1-1).
Many doubted the Croatian side would do well in Qatar, as they have a veteran squad, and Luka Modric, their best player, is already 37.
But truth is that Zlatko Dalić's men had been doing well before the start of the tournament, being undefeated in their last six games and winning five of them -including two victories over Denmark and one against France-.
Argentina
Lionel Messi is playing his last World Cup and it’s his last chance to win the title for the first time, something that Argentinian fans have always reproached him for.
Argentina, who had failed to score in each of their last three matches versus the Netherlands, broke that stat and are now on a 14-game scoring streak in all competitions.
Croatia
Modric and co. were massive underdogs against La Canarinha, but this time, soccer fans witnessed another David win over Goliath.
Croatia advanced to the Round of 16 after winning one game and drawing two to finish in Group F’s second place, conceding only one goal in the process.
Against Brazil, the Europeans proved they are used to drama, as they have been taken to overtime in seven of their last eight knockout matches at major tournaments since finishing third at their first World Cup finals in 1998.
