What an amazing match! Unbelievable and unexpected result. Big congratulations for Croatia. Croatia defeated Brazil on penalties 4-2 in the World Cup quarterfinals. By the way, Livakovic the Croatian goalkeeper was outstanding. Also I didn't expect Brazil to play such a bad game. The most favourite team of World Cup was eliminated in an this stage.
Brazil's goalkeeper was so bad compared with the croatia's goal keeper. Croatia didn't wanna try to give brazil pressure but it was only doing passing to bring the match into the penalty. Brazil itself has been trying so hard to attack croatia but the goal keeper of croatia was doing so well to save it so many times. Croatia's goal keeper has become the key for croatia to secure the position in the semi final. So many people were picking brazil over croatia.
They were suffering huge lose even some of my friends were buying lots of nfts as a bet to brazil and they were also losing their money.

I'm still shocked about Brazil loss  Shocked  Huh

But look right now the odds of the possible champion of World Cup:

Source: https://sports.sportingbet.com/en/sports/football-4/betting/world-6/world-cup-2022-0:14

I think France is more favorite than Argentina to win, but after Germany, Spain and Brazil failures, I need to think again about soccer nowadays.
Do not follow that blindly as this world cup is full of big upsets. I was so confident that Brazil would go through to the semifinal but after yesterday I am not believing on any of the odds. Croatia won because of their goalkeeper otherwise it would have been Brazil in the semis.  More such shocks and upsets to come in the last two quarterfinals and in the semifinals.

For sure Brazil will win the match, but I'm a bit sure Croatia wouldn't make it easy, If we look at the odds, the draw (1x2) position is look good to bet the money. Yes, I know when looking at the material squad from each line, Brazil has better than Croatia but who knows when kick-off begins, Croatia adjusts the defensive scheme and tries to gamble off the penalty shoot as they did it before.




It would be bad strategy if Croatia use a full defensive strategy against Brazil, a team with many talented players and with a great team work. I doubt Croatia can defend a draw till the end of the normal time if they use full defensive/bus parking strategy. Betting on a draw is risky obviously but it is your choice and you must be ready for the risk already. If I have to place a risky bet, I would even prefer to bet on Croatia than on a draw Smiley
Croatia actually can playing with attacking style during this tournament but mostly it because their opponents were weaker than them but currently will be different because Croatia was know the strength of Brazil that this team was filled with plenty of talented players and playing attacking against Brazil will be suicided because Croatia will possibly ended with conceded a lot goals and it's normal if there is a team will playing defensively while against strong teams and this is also what Croatia will do in this match that they will attempts not to conceded goals first and will take opportunities to score goals from counterattacks
Croatia look didn't give the opportunity between 90', Brazil is look desperate and was able by neymar in extra time, but petkovic make same the score again in 120'.
So, my bet is correct for the draw, but enough sad my favorite champion comes home sooner than expected. We can not doubt Croatia is biggest country on football, we don't have to underestimate them to the next semifinal. I'm really sure they will make Argentina struggle and not easy. Maybe we can see Croatioa on the next surprised.

This is football, sometimes there are many unexpected things and indeed Croatia is also another unexpected team after many unexpected things in the group phase and the last 16.
It's very difficult to predict what will happen and again I was beaten with my confidence in a big team in this world cup.
Let's hope my bets for France and Portugal don't go wrong again in tomorrow's game.
The France vs England match will also be very exciting because considering that the two national teams both have very competitive squads in this world cup and it is difficult to say for sure who will qualify for the next round. But for Portugal vs Morocco there is indeed a possibility for Portugal to win the match because Morocco is not as strong as the other national teams in this world cup even though unexpected things like penalties and luck can happen to any national team so that results are beyond predictions like what has happened in two matches today.

Emilano Martinez gas prove to the world that he is a world class goal keeper despite playing for Aston Villa in the English Premier League, he has given his best to secure a semi final tickets for his county Argentina in this Qatar 2022 World Cup, his first two penalty saves was the main work he did which resulted to his team qualifying.

Congratulations to Argentina.
Martinez had been my favorite goalkeeper right from his days at Arsenal he had a long stay with the gunners unfortunately was always played as a second choice goalkeeper before signing for Aston Villa, he is a brilliant goalkeeper who kept Argentina in the competition in today's penalty shootout, I never doubt his ability as a penalty stopper and this is one of the advantages of having a good goalkeeper in a team just like the Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic whose heroic saves qualified his country to the semifinals of the competition, I hope to watch how the duo will perform in their semifinals match with both countries playing two best goalkeepers in the World Cup.

Playing in extra time at the World Cup playoff stage has already become a trademark of the Croatian national team, and most importantly, if at the last World Cup such tactics brought the final, then this year the team is already in the semifinals. The Brazilian national team, instead of learning a variety of dances to celebrate future goals, it would be better to spend this time learning the correct penetration of post-match eleven-meter strikes, but is it possible to talk about this when the head coach himself dances with the players Grin Cats all over the world breathed a sigh of relief and themselves staged joyful dances about the victory of the Croatian national team Wink

Brazil was the biggest favorite and they are gone too. After Germany and Spain now there is one more favorite out of the calculations. Most people underestimated Croatia but they were not a big underdog. We know how they play in big tournaments. This result is not surprising to me. In the end this is World Cup, everybody try to do their best. I feel bad for Neymar but they should've scored a goal way earlier. This is what happens when you waste too many chances. Croatia well deserved semi-finals.

I never imagined that the world's best team like Brazil would be in such a situation in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.  Because we didn't count the team like Croatia but they confirmed the semi-final at the last moment.  And right after Spain, Brazil had to choose the farewell route.  But Brazil missed many chances to score.  Neymar should have scored because he lost at the last minute.  Never expected this from Brazil but Croatia have often topped the semi-finals in every World Cup.

it goes on for Messi and Argentina. Argentina wins 4:3 against the netherlands


source: my tv and ard

and now it's on to the semi-final against Croatia with Luka Modrić


Haha, good source Soonandwaite. Both teams deserved the victory, the Dutch counterattacked really well during the match, and also in the penalties. But Argentina was more accurate, so there's nothing to claim.

Good think that violence didn't escalate, but a bit os a shame the few unfortunate images by some players today.
This is the most enjoyed quarter-finals. Both teams deserved to win, but there will only be one winner who will move to the semi-finals. The excitement is that Argentina worked hard for their victory against the Dutch. v. van Dijik  gambled the chance of the Dutch moving to the Semi-finals. Argentina has done it, I hope Croatia get prepared for the worst. Croatia need to learn how to score because Messi is all out for his first and last World cup trophy.

Congratulations to the Argentina team as they are and confirmed the semi-finals in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.  Argentina though they were in shock at the beginning but their performances are showing up as the days go by.  The game between Netherlands and Argentina was very tight but Netherlands is a little weak in terms of quantity.  They missed the most but Argentina team with experience and bravery did not miss plenty.  Due to which the Argentine team confirmed the semi-final.  go ahead

Simple expectations like that, but looking at today's match, it seems that tomorrow's match will not go that simple because surely a lot will happen, especially considering the conditions of the 4 teams that are playing.
England and France will obviously fight the same as Agentina and the Netherlands a while ago but Portugal and Morocco I still find it hard to see what will happen in the future.
Portugal and Morocco will both try to win like the Brazil vs Croatia match, because some predictions missed by not mentioning a penalty because remembering the Brazil squad which is very complete with lots of stars, but that doesn't mean they can win easily in the cup world this time. And maybe the same thing will happen in the Portugal vs Morocco match, even though in general Portugal looks better than Morocco in this world cup.

Martinez is an amazing goalkeeper and one of the very best in the premier league. Some amazing saves tonight that carried Argentina to the semi final. Messi’s dream is still alive now and they have an amazing chance to go over Croatia to the final
Talking about opportunities is endless. Before the Brazil vs Croatia match, there was also a lot of talk about the opportunities for Brazil, but when the match was over, everything looked different and went beyond predictions until Brazil lost on penalties. This is something that the Brazilian national team really doesn't want because in the second half the Brazilian players have tried to look better even though it didn't work either.

Of the eight teams included in the original poll about who would the World Cup, only four teams remain at this time. Goes to show how much surprises the tournament has brought and how it is still anyone games so deep into it.

Not a particularly exceptional display from Argentina, but they put in good work defensively and kept their nerves when it mattered the most. Now we all look forward to Tuesday semi-final clash with Croatia: two teams who have similar style of play know what is at stake, having played in the final in 2018 (Croatia) and in 2014 (Argentina).

Tomorrow promises more drama.

Netherlands' second goal in the 90+11th minute really came as a surprise, especially for Argentina, because of course they had hoped for an advantage until the end. Fortunately, Argentina was able to maximize its performance in penalty kicks. All players were ready for the penalty kicks, moreover, the Argentine goalkeeper was really playing very well and was ready.

The tension was so high in both of matches. Morocco and portugal will become a very important match. Portugal needs to win against morocco. I hope that the final will be cristiano ronaldo against messi. That will be making a very high tension of match caused by it's the final that has been waiting by so many people.
I can't imagine if this is realized and the final is between Portugal and Argentina. The tense will be very high, This is not only about the two countries but about Ronaldo and Messi. We all know how their fans are so far, how their influence in the football. This will be very exciting if see this final. But, Portugal still should make a victory against Morocco and the winner between England and France. And this is not easy.

Crazy penalty drama colored in two matches today, credit go to the keepers of Croatia and Argentina. I didn't expect Brazil to lose against Croatia but it happened Sad, then Netherlands lost against Argentina. I'm curious what will happen tomorrow in the other two matches between England vs France and Morocco vs Portugal, maybe we will see another crazy surprise?

It seems like that the good performance during the previous match didn't guarantee if the team will win in the current match. brazil has proven if the performance was going up and down. Very sad for brazil must gone from world cup this fast.

based from the poll on this thread, brazil was the favourite getting a 38% from the users who cast their votes. unfortunately, the favourite one was dumped out from world cup. not expecting also about this twist of events. if ronaldo and messi will have a face off in the finals, that would really get a very large audience. for sure, betting sites will get their huge income from the bettors. let's see how this will pan out in the coming days...

The Netherlands made a great comeback today but failed to win the match. In such matches, the team that catches the draw usually wins the match, but today nothing like this happened. It was a truly sad day for the Netherlands. On the other hand, it was a match for Argentina in which some weaknesses became evident. They failed to keep the score in the match they took the lead. When they felt pressure in the midfield, they gave control of the game to the opponent. They gave a red alert before the last matches.

It was a really great night. I was expecting to see the Argentina - Netherlands game to be even more exciting than the Brazil - Croatia one. I got what I wanted in a great way. Netherlands' comeback was unbelievable first of all. Weghorst made a magical comeback by scoring two goals after entering the game. van Gaal made a great move by having him on the field.

Argentina started to be effective in extra time again. They wasted some big chances as well. Fernandez was like the worst player of the team as his shot hit the post and he missed a penalty as well. Messi was definitely the man of the match. I should admit that Martinez was also great about his saves in penalties.
