Unlike Brazil, Croatia’s top 8 opponent, the Argentine team gave up possession in this battle and focused on the onslaught. Metz and Julian Alvallis at the forefront scored 3 goals and assisted. Online video showed that when the team was celebrating in the locker room after the game, Alvarez and others banged on the lid of the trash can, and other teammates sang along to tease the old foe: “What happened to the Brazil, the five-time leader was crushed. Messi left Rio de Janeiro, but he’s still with the trophy. Argentina has always dreamed of becoming a world champion and it gave us courage…” Argentina has defeated Brazil, who had home advantage in last year’s Copa America final, and won the first major honor of Metz’s career in international competition. The song from the film has since circulated, but is believed to be the first time it has been sung by an Argentine player.
The 35-year-old Meis attended the World Cup for the fifth time this year, and this time he played the 25th match, equaling the German team legend Matus, and is almost certain to hog the record after the final. In this battle, he first scored 12 yards in 34 minutes, accumulating 11 goals in the World Cup and creating the history of the Argentine team. Both he and coach Scaloni mentioned after the match that their defeat to the Saudi Arabian side in the group stage ended their 36-match unbeaten run. I still enjoy it today, I have always believed in my team and I hope everyone does. We knew we weren’t favorites to win the championship, but our team deserved to go to the final again, so please enjoy together.”
MADNESS AND DISCONTROL IN THE CHANGING ROOM! Argentina reached the final of the World Cup and so the huge ranking was celebrated in the dressing room of the national team.

🎶 “I’m like this, I’m Argentinian” lyrics
(the one they sang in the locker room 😂)
“Brazilian what happened, he crumpled the five-time champion,
Messi left for Rio and stayed with the cup.
We are the band from Argentina, we will always encourage
Because we have the dream of becoming world champions… pic.twitter.com/rnRK7sO3nd— Sporting Newsar Argentina December 13, 2022
