His followers however, shared varied views about his tweet.
While some were in agreement with his comment, others think other wise.
This is what they had to say:
Argentina don't deserve their place in the World Cup final, because all they have done is dive. If you can only get through on penalties you don't deserve your place 😡 they're a disgrace 😡

Mr Morgan had earlier predicted Messi will cry because he will suffer a 3-1 defeat in the hands of France.
“PREDICTION: France will beat Argentina 3-1 to win the World Cup. Mbappe will score twice; Griezmann will be MoM, and Messi will cry,” he tweeted.
