Mixture of VAR, players diving all over the place plus normal injuries and such?

This has been my analysis too. The games seem to be won in midfield. Which is surprising, as historically the attackers have been considered the most important (and thus most valuable) players on the field. But given how games have gone this world cup I'd trade Messi for Modric any day of the week as Argentinia.
EDIT: This is why I feel like Croatia is actually has a serious shot to win this. The european cup they lost against Portugal partially because iirc modric got injured before that game, and even then they got pretty far and did really well. This time, their bracket is looking really nice, so croatia ftw.

nah modric played the entire game , but in that game croatia faced a mighty renato that pressured them ( i miss him in our midfield )
Modrić is my favorite football player, what he does is beautiful and I'm not such a fan of attackers. I also hope Croatia will play at their top level, it is nice to watch.
