Daily News | Philly soccer fans take a breath after a dramatic run to the World Cup semifinals
Argentina’s road to the semifinals has been soaked in drama. After an entirely unexpected loss to Saudi Arabia in its first match of the tournament, Lionel Messi’s squad shouldered the weight of its blue and white striped jerseys and advanced to a quarterfinal match against Netherlands. While the Dutch leveled the game in the 11th minute of stoppage time, Argentina ultimately won an agonizing penalty shootout.
Argentina fans looked forward to a potential matchup against their South American rival, Brazil, but the joyous, dancing Brazilians lost their own quarterfinal penalty shootout against Croatia. There are three matches left in this World Cup , beginning with Morocco vs. France on Tuesday and Croatia vs. Argentina on Wednesday; then, no more men’s World Cup games for another four years.
While the results of the rest of the tournament are anything but certain, Philly’s screams, agony, joy, and celebration as it plays out are a sure bet.The work produced by the Communities & Engagement desk at The Inquirer is supported by The Lenfest Institute for Journalism.
