Match 58: Croatia vs. Brazil [QF]

Morocco are smart tactically, they'll play a closed game.

 

Is Brazil 2022 any better than Brazil 2018?

I think this is a justified question at this point.

 

I hate extra time, let alone PK’s. Brazil had many chances to score.

 

I've definitely revised them down quite a bit since the start of the tournament... I'd say yes still, but not super convinced anymore.

This has all the signs of a PK loss for Brazil.

 

Talking about impressive defensive play? Brazil haven't let Croatia a shot on goal despite attacking and being vulnerable on counters. That is what impresses me about this Brasil team.

 

same goes for Croatia

oh Neymar !

 

Neymar what a goal

 

And there it is.

 

Gol!!!!!!

 

That was Neymar? Coudn't recognize which blonde head scored.

 

yes neymar!! This is why he needs to always play, swollen ankle or not

 

Brazil needed something special and that was it.

 

thank god we're avoiding PK's

 

They need to change these extra time rules.

What is the point of playing another 15 ?

 

A bit too much celebrating in the break, although Croatia needs to grow some teeth now.

 

bring back the golden rule right

 

Never say never

 

I would say Brazil played well, but they should be more clinical. Croatia parked the bus and it isn’t easy to break such teams.

 

its an insult to the opposition!

 

Err..... Amazing football drama?

 

especially not at this stage

 

They couldn't even when counterattacking, they are visibly spent, don't see it happening. Brasil goal is more likely.
