STORY: Some fans got ready buying T-shirts and flags of their national team on Monday (December 12) in downtown Buenos Aires.
A Brazilian tourist, Junior Atainhios, said he would be “rooting for Messi” as he wanted to support South America at the World Cup.
Argentina came into the World Cup as one of the favourites, but they face a big roadblock in the semi-final on Tuesday with 2018 runners-up Croatia, who proved too much for the other title contenders, Brazil.
The Croats stunned the tournament favourites in the quarter-finals with a vintage performance, after going a goal down in extra-time but digging deep to bounce back and force a penalty shootout that they ended up winning.
