Casillas slams Argentina, says 'won't get fourth star'

Argentina has made it to the World Cup finals after dramatically defeating England. But before the match ended, former Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas made a series of comments on social media. In addition to harshly criticizing England coach Thomas Tuchel's tactics, he also gave a clear message to Argentina - 'won't get fourth star.'

Argentina reached the final for the second time in a row after defeating England 2-1 in the semi-final on Wednesday night. After England took the lead through Anthony Gordon's goal, Casillas wrote on X (formerly Twitter), England went behind after scoring - this is a cowardly tactic. They did not leave their own box, as a result, Argentina got the opportunity to attack more. In his words, what happened was the natural outcome.

The 2010 World Cup-winning goalkeeper did not hide his disappointment with England's performance even after the match ended. He commented that England lost the match because of their defensive strategy, and added that they allowed Argentina to take control of the game for a long time, which in his words should never have happened. He described the Spain-Argentina final as a great fight.

After that, Casillas took another jab at Argentina. Determined to break the dream of the current world champions to win a fourth title, he wrote that Argentina will not get a fourth star this time. In a later post, he supported Spain, writing, not a fourth star, but their fight is for their second title this time - let's go Spain.

The former Real Madrid goalkeeper has faced Lionel Messi in El Clasico many times in his playing career. This time, he hopes to stop Messi-led Argentina in the final.

Argentina initially fell behind in the semi-finals due to Anthony Gordon's goal. However, after Enzo Fernandez's long-range goal restored parity in the end, Lionel Scaloni's team secured a dramatic victory in added time after Messi's perfect cross was headed in by Lautaro Martinez.

With this victory, Argentina has reached the final for the seventh time in World Cup history. If they can beat Spain, they will have the opportunity to win their fourth World Cup title in history. The final, to be held in New Jersey, will be held on July 19.
