The buzz: It will be something of a miracle if this game is decided in the regulation 90 minutes since five of Croatia's last six World Cup elimination games have gone to extra time, as have four of the last six for Argentina.

Having arrived at the 2022 World Cup with a reputation as one of the most promising young centre-backs in the world, it's no bold claim to suggest that Croatia's Josko Gvardiol ( who was No. 22 on ESPN's 39 U21 list in April) has been the outstanding defender of the tournament so far.Reputations are one thing and delivering on the biggest stage is another, but the 20-year-old left-footed defender -- who has stood out visually by wearing a protective face mask after breaking his nose against Freiburg in November -- has more than lived up to his billing.

Chelsea could reportedly be prepared to try offering Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic to Inter Milan as part of a bid to clinch the transfer of Denzel Dumfries.The Blues could do with strengthening at right-back following the recent injury to Reece James, and Dumfries' form at Inter suggests he could be ideal in that position.
