How will Argentina and Croatia line up for their 2022 World Cup semi-final?
Argentina take on Croatia in the first 2022 World Cup semi-final on Tuesday after both sides were victorious in penalty shootouts in the quarter-finals.
Gonzalo Montiel and Marcos Acuña both received yellow cards in the quarter-final game against the Netherlands and are therefore suspended for the semi-final against Croatia.
The two Sevilla full-backs were on yellow cards before the dramatic encounter against the Netherlands and picked up yellow cards in the game against Louis van Gaal’s side.
Martínez; Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico; Di María, De Paul, Enzo Fernández, Mac Allister; Messi, Álvarez.
Livakovic; Juranovic, Lovren, Gvardiol, Sosa; Kovacic, Brozovic, Modric; Pasalic, Kramaric, Perisic.
Italian referee Daniele Orsato will take charge of Argentina-Croatia on Tuesday 13 December.
The match will be played at the Lusail Stadium.
Croatia beat La Albiceleste 3-0 in the group stages of the 2018 World Cup and eventually lost 4-2 to France in the final.
At France ‘98, Argentina beat Croatia 1-0 to take first place in Group H, four years after the sides played out a 0-0 friendly draw in their first ever encounter.
In between both World Cup games, the two played two friendly matches against each other in 2006 and 2014.
We will be bringing you all the build-up, action and reaction as it happens here on AS USA.

This is my take squad against Croatia..Licha instead of Tagliafico and Mac Alister will drop at a point since he is also good defensively, though I trust butcher to do the job well. dimaria and Mac Alister to flank from wing and messi as attacking midfield while enzo and De paul run the show from midfield. we need this entire players on this formation for the match XI since Acuna is out we can't play 4 3 3 as usual so it will be a traditional 3 5 2 but on a transitional 3 2 3 2 and also at some point 4 3 3. the coach must be unpredictable in the match by switching formation in different phase as it was against Mexico and Netherlands.
