Not only did Croatia beat Argentina 3 - 0...which is considered a goalada....b/c defense is so emphasized these days.....and teams generally play conservatively.....and will not risk much up front....only playing with one striker......the 3rd goal came late........

Croatia's 3rd goal came in stoppage time.....at the + 90 minute mark...........driving the knife deeper......also since the world cup is in Russia........an Eastern European team..........which is where Croatia is.....Croatia is basically playing at home.....far closer than Argentina is.......so they would want to win at home
