Um, so? Yea they won that one. That doesn’t automatically they'll win again.
 
Damn, he is taking it worse than Honda Housey
Bust out the purple pillow
 
Croatia's best chance is probably Brazil getting too comfortable at 0-0 then scoring late but this Brazil side does seem less prone to just messing around in midfield than the last few.

Not sure Brazil losing to European sides really means that much given that they obviously make up the vast majority of the biggest sides and that they've not played Argentina since what 1990? Its not like they've been losing to European minows who sneaked though into the knockouts.

I take that back, the European curse is real for them lol.

Although really I think thats the first time they can actually feel hard done by all the other times they were well beaten.
 
I have to say though as an England fan I fear Croatia more than Brazil, not sure there as good as 2018 but 4-0 in pen shootouts across the last two WC's.
 
So yeah I recall telling everyone Croatia was for real.

Anyhow Brazil has reached one semis since 2002(and they probably wish they hadn't made that one tbh). Brazil shouldn't be favored just because "they're Brazil". They should be favored if they have a legendary team. The Brazil team is always good but since 2002 where they had the 3 R's in their prime that hasn't been the sort of Brazil team that wins World Cups.
 
A lot of young and inexperienced players for Brazil side... they choked at the end
 
As soon as Croatia scored with their first shot on target near the end of extra time, that too off a crazy deflection... I knew that the Football Gods were not on Brazil's side tonight
