indians and pakistan, he's cheering on messy and argentina who's got a massive following in the asian sub consonants. and here it was a raucous atmosphere every time he was shown on screen, every time he touched the bowl and his side argentina now through to a final once more and another shot for messi at that world cup title. alright, so what exactly was the key to argentina? success against a tough correlation side. yet against netherlands, they actually looked a little bit shaky x, even though at the beginning of the match, they sort of cruise to a to nil lead. again, at the beginning of this match, i thought croatia got into their game quite well. but argentina, tweaked their system went to a back for from their usual back 3 and had an added mid field in leandro perez, who was there to sort of disrupt this midfield dominance. that croatia have been able to create during this tournament at the their midfield 3. really arguably the

best in the tournament surrounding the aging. saw luca mudrinich who has as also now played his final world cup game. it looks like for croatia and croatia. then we just disrupted, they didn't and managed to get into the game properly. argentine exploited their weaknesses. i think we got a little bit lucky getting that penalty awarded to them, but then after that the pressure was off them and then they could play their game. and we've seen them stuttering li stop to this tournament. and they're just about hitting top form at the right time just before a woke up final. so argentine is through tell us what else is coming up next and woke up action. yeah. will the next semi final morocco, the underdogs, the story of this talk and facing off against france, the world cup holders. now morocco have shown against belgium, croatia, spain, and portugal that they can beat heavy hitters that they are not to be underestimated. however, in that last game against portugal,

a couple of key players were injured. a couple of them struggling now to get matched fit ready for the game at. i'll bite stadium. so i think this may well be the end of the road for morocco, even though they've had such fantastic support here on the ground from morocco, fans, and also from algerians, egyptians, saudis, and categories who've been cheering them on. but i think that under dog story may well, and even though france haven't looked at their impressive best in this tournament, so there is a chance of morocco, but it's going to be a real struggle for them. no, right, that was did of his own max maryland guitar. thanks for your reporting. international donors meeting in paris have pledged a 1000000000 euros to help ukraine through the winter. the money will go mainly towards keeping the civilian population fed and warm. russian missile attacks have left millions without power or heating a grim prospect. as winter continues to tighten its grip on the war torn country
