CORO TIA ACHEIVES

Croatia has broken English hearts at the World Cup, scoring in extra time to advance to the final against tournament favourites France. Mario Mandzukic scored in the 109th minute to see Croatia came from behind and beat England 2-1, progressing to its first World Cup final and sending fans back home in the Balkan nation into raptures. England, appearing in its first semi-final since 1990, had looked on course to reach its first final since 1966. The Three Lions took the lead through Kieran Trippier's fifth-minute free kick and totally dominated the opening half, before the momentum of the game changed and ran away from Gareth Southgate's men. Croatia levelled through Ivan Perisic after 68 minutes and then looked the more dangerous side. The scores were level at 90 minutes, meaning Croatia faced extra time for the third successive game, having got past Denmark and Russia on penalties. But just when it looked as if Croatia was destined to be the first team to appear in three shootouts at a single World Cup, Mandzukic struck with a well-taken low shot.

France Knocks Lionel Messi and Argentina Out of World Cup It was a horrible day for both team as France VS Argentina played a full time match of 4-3 today. Messi departs after a frustrating tournament in which Argentina only barely escaped a humiliating elimination in the group stage. But it ended as all his major tournaments with Argentina’s senior national team: without a trophy, and while carrying the burden of a team defeat on his slight shoulders. At 31, he may choose to make this his last World Cup. For a few minutes in the second half, it almost seemed as if Argentina’s troubled trip at this World Cup might be extended. Angel Di Maria scored a gorgeous long-range goal just before halftime, and then Gabriel Mercado turned in a low shot by Messi three minutes into the second half for a 2-1 lead. But France was simply too good. The teenage forward Kylian Mbappé won a penalty in the first half with a three-quarter-field run, and then scored two goals of his own four minutes ap...
