DOHA: Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni brushed off accusations of poor sportsmanship on Monday as the South Americans prepared for a World Cup semifinal showdown against Croatia.

After three weeks of pulsating action in Qatar, just four teams are left standing as the tournament heads into its home stretch.

Lionel Messi and Argentina face Croatia in the first semifinal on Tuesday, before 2018 champions France take on giant-killing Morocco on the following day.

At the cavernous Lusail Stadium, Messi will attempt to guide Argentina into a World Cup final for the second time in eight years.
