final was found to be the last shot at world cup glory, tray, and legendary player, either argentine as we know, messy or co h as luca mudrinich despite croatia controlling much of the ball early on argentina were the 1st to break through with who leon alvarez's bullish run forwarded by a clear foul with the whole world watching, but his keeper, too nervous to look. leo messy stepped up and ripped home the penalty. one mill argentina with 34 minutes play and just 5 minutes later alvarez was again crouching through a sea of legs. this time no one dared to take him down to nil. late in the 2nd half, it was messy lighting up the pitch. dancing threw crashes defense to lay the ball off to alvarez and finish things off at 3 mill. messy has again carried his country to a world cup final, this time against either france or morocco. meanwhile, muddrick knows he'll never lift the cup. did up his sports correspond daniel

barcelona was at the stadium and guitar. this is what she had to say about the game and the atmosphere there. the eisen penny in, well kept game. a basically continued as i didn't, you know, but they play and i know of the world. they will either play against france or morocco. i didn't, you know, easily be croatia, 3 now in front of a pan out lucille stadium. much the jubilation of thousands of argentina ban as you can see, the man i leaving the stadium tonight. the party will go late in the night in doha and our other sports correspondent, max merrill is also in guitar falling. this came from a stadium set up for many of the migrant workers, well built guitars, world cup stadiums, yet very different away from the glitz and glamour of doha city center. i was in the audit i on, at the industrial fans own, which is set up specifically for migrant workers at a cricket stadium behind me, 60000 fans or more than 60000 fans fits into this stadium. and most of them,

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. all right, so what exactly was the key to argentina? success against the 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 midfield in leandro parrot as, who was there to sort of disrupt this mid feel 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 style. luca

mudrinich, who has, as also now played his final world cup game. it looks like for croatia and a croatia, then we just disrupted they didn't a 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 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 supports 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 the w's 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 like millions without power or heating a grim prospect. as winter continues to tighten its grip on the war torn country
