The World Cup continues Tuesday at 2 PM EST with the first semifinal matchup between Croatia and Argentina.
Argentina has reached the semifinals for the sixth time in its World Cup history, and it is 5-0 in its previous appearances. Lionel Messi, in what is probably his final World Cup, is trying to lead La Albiceleste to its first world championship since 1986.
Croatia, which has needed penalties to earn four of its past five knockout stage wins dating to 2018, is seeking its second consecutive appearance in the World Cup final. The Croatians eliminated top-ranked Brazil in the quarterfinal and No. 2 Belgium in the group stage, and now they get a crack at No. 3 Argentina.
The winner of this match will face either France or Morocco in the final on Sunday, while the loser will play the loser of Wednesday’s semifinal on Saturday in the third-place game. Find the bracket and knockout round schedule
