Argentina moves into the World Cup final

He loves big waves, really big waves, 12-metre high waves like here in Portugal. Australian Matt Formston. And if that alone wasn’t achievement enough. Matt surfs blind, he can’t see.

And yet the 44-year-old has realised his lifelong dream: “I dreamed of becoming a professional surfer. But the dream was unrealistic for me as a person with a disability. But now I am a professional surfer. We put together a plan so that I can surf a wave as a blind surfer using a whistle and other means of communication instead of being able to see. I was born with full sight. When I was about five years old, I lost 95% of my peripheral vision, which is the outer area, and all my central vision. Imagine, it’s like holding a fist in front of it like this, in front of your eyes. And the outer area is blurred, blurred, like when you hold your fist in front of your eyes.

Argentina is in the final of the World Cup. In the semi-final match in Qatar, the Argentine men defeated Croatia 3-0.

The Argentines had started with only two offensive players: Superstar Lionel Messi and Julián Álvarez. Messi was also the one who started the scoring streak for the Argentines, scoring on a penalty kick in the 34th minute. Messi has now scored eleven goals in World Cups. It will be his last World Cup.

On Sunday it will be decided who will become world champion. Then Argentina will play against France or Morocco. For the Croats, the competition for third place will already be decided on Saturday.

Argentina has already won the World Cup in 1978 and 1986. Croatia will miss out on reaching the final for a second time after 2018.
