In this Croatia vs Brazil match we enjoyed a different game. I didn't expect Brazil to lose the match till the last. Croatia performed very well in the match. I didn't think that Croatia would win the match. I was dying to see Brazil win. But in the match, Brazil had more fans than Croatia. was in the match. Brazil lost the match because of the failure of their players. Brazil missed many chances which is why they lost.
And in that match I saw that the Brazilian players did not play loosely like in the previous matches. they were too careful so that the tempo of Brazil's game was not as fast as in previous matches. Maybe Brazil just wanted to be more careful but this actually made Croatia even more aggressive in that match. overall I enjoyed the match. because the two teams did play very well and showed a very exciting top-level game.
I also lost a bet because I chose Brazil, but apart from losing the bet I personally admit that Croatia has good gameplay and the most important thing is that Croatia remain confident until the end. Even though after Neymar's goal came in the first half of extra time, I think it will be the only goal that is created in this match. But in the second half of extra time Croatia still managed to make a great effort with a good counterattack, and the goals that Brazil and Croatia made in extra time I think are beautiful goals too.
But unfortunately, Brazil was not lucky enough in the penalty shootout, even though Thiago Silva chose a place where there were more Brazilian fans behind the goal.
With these results, of course, every match in the quarter-finals is difficult to predict, because all the teams are making bigger efforts than usual.
Also with these results, it became difficult for me to choose which team I should put in the bet for today's match. I really didn't expect Croatia to put in such a good effort in the match against Brazil, because from the odds it is also clear that their odds have a very wide gap.
