The Croatian newspaper Sportske Novosti revealed the alleged tactics of the Argentines for today’s semi-final duel with Croatia. One of the unnamed South American players was said to have revealed to his Croatian teammates from the European club during a video conference that he and his national team teammates were instructed to provoke and unsettle the Croatians.
The player also reportedly said that they will drive opponents absolutely insane, breaking them down and beating them in basically 60 minutes. Details were not given. However, the newspaper stated that it would not be anything new in the case of the Argentines, as they chose a similar tactic in the match against the Dutch, in which the referee handed out a record 18 yellow cards. Even so, Croats should beware.
