Standing firm over a gallant Morocco, France's Theo Hernandez scores the first in a 2-0 win
Lionel Messi's mesmerising run teas up Argentina's third and his date with complete immortality
We realise that a football legend is one game away from football immortality, but this World Cup is not just about Lionel Messi reaching the highest summit. It has been an impressive turn of form, combined with an incredible run of consistent cool-headed predictions that have elevated Nico to Football4Mates legendary status. Euro Archon in 2004, Nico is now just one game away from officially being crowned World Cup Archon 2022. It is an impressive never-before performance by any Mate; to move from being bottom of the ladder at the end of Round 1, third when we reached the Quarter Finals, to the very top by the time the tournament moved into the Semi-Finals. Even before Argentina and France walk out to play the Final come Monday morning, it appears the title of Archon is all but wrapped up. Or is it? By tipping this morning's second semi-final, Aramis and Nestor have opened a slithering possibility to claim the top honour. This will mean that Batman and Robbin (who seem to predict the exact outcome and scores for each game) need a different Outcome prediction and a Score Bonus (from Nico) to dismantle our leader. It all comes down to the Mate with the superior game Outcomes over the tournament's two Score Bonus leaders. Hence for transparency, Nico, Aramis and Nestor will send their predictions to our Euro Archon Yianni, who will hopefully release these to the group the evening before the Final. Argentina versus France. VERY Exciting!
