It is a really big shock for Brazil. Nearly everyone was favouring Brazil to eliminate Croatia. I was even waiting for them to do so in 90 minutes. But Croatia defense was just too good to prevent them from scoring a goal. Brazil's goal which came in extra time seemed like the finishing blow but Croatia somehow found the equalizer in the last minutes.

I was worried about penalties as Croatia were full of experienced players. They really did it through penalties. Livakovic was amazing today and he was great in penalties as well by saving one.
Unbelievable win Croatia is just unbelievable. Brazil went 1-0 up with Neymar's first goal of extra time. All football fans assumed that Brazil's victory was guaranteed. But that's football, Croatia equalized in the second half of the period. Brazil-Croatia rivalry ended in penalty kicks. Croatia's victory was ensured by their outstanding goalkeeper.
Personally I had already tipped Brazil to reach the final and majority soccer pundits also predicted the team to we in the trophy,unfortunately they are now out kudos to the Croatian for a well deserved Victory they fought for it and got the win through hard work and perseverance thus created another upset in the on going World Cup, surprisingly they had one shot on goal and that was their equiliser , kudos to the Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic for putting up brilliant saves during the game and during the penalty shootout and Lukas Modric was very brilliant in their midfield and was awarded player of the match.

The match between Argentina and the Netherlands has only started for a few minutes, I am here to see a very tense match again after watching the previous match between Croatia and Brazil, I really didn't expect it, but Croatia was really great today. match, they deserved to win, and it's sad for Brazil to follow the Spanish team to return to their homeland.
The Netherlands today is very good and so is Argentina but here I bet that the Netherlands will win against Argentina, I don't take Argentina lightly but watching Argentina's games recently is very boring.
Croatia was lucky today - I feel very sad for Brazil - the way last player feel on not being able to score the goal. I felt as if he died at the spot.
Very sad day for the great brazilian team to go home like this. I still am sad although I am not brazilian

Congratulations to the entire Croatians for qualifying for the semi-finals round of the world cup, this night's match was an intense pressure from the Brazilians who expect a slid win against Croatia but the unexpected happen and the match ended I a draw with both team scoring 1:1 goals.
So at this point, there is no more doubt in the capacity of the Croatian team to face other team's in the coming rounds of this world cup so including Croatia in the polls will be an excellent idea considering the direction the results of the world cup this year.

Really unexpected that Brazil was defeated when almost everyone predicts they will go to the final but this is a fact that a penalty can mess up everything
After Brazil was defeated then who was the favorite candidate for the World Cup champion? will France repeat success in the past?
For now it is not easy to predict it because one by one the favorite team has come out of the tournament.

And Brazil is out of the world cup, who would think they would fail two penalties. It was a great match but for sure lot of us lose money with that one, Brazil was supposed to be the easy match in the parlay, and they fail really hard.
It was hard to predict that Brazil won't get to the finals of the world cup. Nobody would believe Brazil will lose the penalty,  the penalty was even tough part of the game for missing it. It was an opportunity for Brazil but they still couldn't make it.

Quote
Now let's see if Messi gets out of the game too, or if get's one step closer to his world cup dream. In this next game, my heart is with Argentina, but my wallet is with Netherlands, let's see what happens.
Argentina vs Netherlands is another unpredictable game, no one knows how the game will end,  Netherlands is not a weak team Argentina can easily defeat. I'm not really expecting much from Messi, he may end up not giving his best.

I hate to be that guy, but... I told you so! Don't underestimate Croatia! Not again.

I don't think anyone saw this coming. Well, except for us, Croatians! Grin

I think that Agbe helped us by not including us in the poll. Grin

We weren't playing good this whole championship but we are an experienced team that plays the best when no one gives us any chance, like today. After first 5 minutes it was obvious that we will give them hell and that it won't be easy win by Brazil as everyone expected. And there's only 3.8 million of us, imagine what we would do if there's 200 million. Anyway, I don't remebber being more proud of our team than I am now, even when I compare it with Russia 4 years ago.

Iznad svih Hrvatska!

Croatia became the first team to qualify for the semi-finals today after defeating five-time world champions Brazil in a hotly contested first quarter-final.
After much drama, Croatia secured the semi-final for the second time.  In today's thrilling game, Brazil unbelievably defeated the highest ranked team in the FIFA rankings and confirmed the semi-finals. Best wishes to Croatia from the Bitcoin Forum.


In this world cup, the mighty are fallen; those countries we think are going to reach the finals are been shamefully eliminated unexpectedly. It's still incomprehensible.

Croatia did well by fending off Brazil in both halves. I'm quite pleased with how they performed. Croatia shown intellectual fortitude by facing Brazil head-on. Their comeback was outstanding, and it is proof that teams with famous players no longer win championships. Up until the very end of the game, Croatia maintained their optimism. Congratulations to them

I finally found myself unable to say a word because Croatia actually played well enough to avert Brazil from equalizing. Despite supporting Brazil despite their loss to Croatia, I was however impressed with Croatia's performance tonight because Brazil would not be an easy team to defeat, and Croatia's victory over them will go down in history as the nation one that defeated Brazil. I would not have imagined that Croatia will win brazil in any way. when it comes to a penalty is always a difficult one.
It was a tough goalless 90mins,Croatian team played Brazil with experience and Brazil was unable to score till on the 105th minute of the extra time, was when Neymar scored a sharp goal which he dribbled the keeper and netted the post to give Brazil 1-0 lead. The Brazilians are young upcoming super stars that lacked the experience on how to maintain this goal and Croacha filled with matured experience players equalise the goal on the 117th minutes by Petovick to end the match with a PK.

It is a pity that the Brazilians first PK was caught by the goal keeper and the last PK was also lost by hitting the bar. Tonight Croatia 4-2 victory over Brazil was deserved, football is full of surprises as nobody ever believed that Crotia will be the country to send Brazil packing from the world cup. I was also wrong in my prediction because I thought Brazil will be playing the finals. Tonight is Netherland vs Argentina which will be starting in a few minutes, will Argentina be able to win Netherland is still what I can't predict any more.

Absolutely! I still don't belive that we have won against the country with more registered football players than Croatia has people living in it! Really an amazing win! Now give us Argentina or Netherlands to play with them Grin
You really deserve to be proud of what Croatia are doing at the moment, really everyone was fighting today and all of them is amazing.
Especially Dominik Livaković, he made really great saves throughout the match and he was the hero of Croatia's win tonight. I hope Argentina will meet Croatia in the semi-finals, it's to be expected. Now let's see what will happen in the Argentina vs Netherlands match, but I really hope Argentina can advance to the semi-finals.

Just learning right now that Croatia won their match against Brazil  Shocked Shocked, this is indeed unbelievable.
I made a small travel a day before yesterday to another state and this made it impossible for me to follow the world cup match, returned today and was greeted with this surprise while searching the net for results.
A big congratulations to Croatia even though I have just lost my small Shiba inu tokens gift I would have received from Remitano exchange is Brazil had won, but then, surprises like this is what makes the game of football really interesting.. This is just amazing.

Big congratulations mate for being so brave to stand strong with your country Croatia, this is not just love for football but it shows your love for your country you are a good citizen.

No one expected Croatia to defeat Brazil because watching the game Brazil dominated the game and made so many goal-scoring attempts but the Croatian goal keeper Dominik Livakovic made it impossible for them to score with his fantastic saves.

Did you see the save that Dominik Livakovic made against Richarlison'a close range shots that would have resulted to goal? that was a superb pull out.

It’s the end of the Road for the Brazil national team. After getting booted out by a relentless Croatia team. After ending goalless in both halves of the game Brazil found the answer through Neymar in the first half of the extra time unfortunately for him and his Compatriots, the Croatians found a late equalizer in the second half of the extra time.

The game had to be settled in a penalty which Brazil missed to and Croatia scored all penalties they took.
It turned out that my prediction was based on that assumption wrong and it turned out that Croatia was able to defend well even though at the start Brazil found a way in extra time but it didn't take long for Croatia to equalize it was a good attack that cannot be denied and they were happy after scoring back again, I already have a hunch that if this match goes to penalties then Brazil will not qualify. Their players look anxious and full of pressure while Croatia appear consistently and in the end Croatia is the winner to advance to the next round.
A little annoyed, indeed in this match Brazil played to take advantage of good opportunities even though we know that much.
And in a while, the match between Argentina and Netherlands is going to start. All the football fans are now eager to watch the match between these two teams. But I hope Argentina win for Lionel Messi. We are probably waiting to see another breathtaking game.

Well, it was something which no one could have believed until we saw this happening, that is brazil losing to Croatia.

Now coming to the next quarterfinal, between Netherlands and Argentina, i wish we did not see another upset. I really want the next Latim America team to qualify .

Looking at the odds, both odds seem good to place bet on. I would chose my favorite team Argentina while other may choose who they support.

Congratulations to Croatia, they did it even when people did not expect them to win the favourites for this competition.They were able to realise that they have a better chance winning Brazil through penalties leveraging on the abilities of their Goalkeeper than scoring normal goals against Brazil to win. This game is a sit up call for Argentina that would later play Netherlands, at this point they should know that anything is possible and will have to ensure that they win the game avoiding penalties by all means and strategy necessary.
Congratulations also to Croatia for being able to beat Brazil who was included in the candidate category to advance to the final, and even become a candidate for the 2022 World Cup.
Croatia's hard work was not in vain because since the beginning of the match they continued to attack and also dominated the game, and I saw Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic several times able to thwart Brazil's attacks. So for the penalty shootout I believe he will be able to save the penalty from Brazil, and in the penalty shootout, the goalkeeper plays a very important role and even a great country team if the goalkeeper is better than the opponent is not a guarantee.

Particularly good that Croatia has managed to qualify for the semi-finals. And in 2018 they were also finalists. Why not become a champion again or even become a champion? They have also achieved impressive results in the Nations League. They didn't get to play football against Brazil, but who will against that team? That's not many countries. I think Croatia has a serious chance to reach the final, they would rather play against the Netherlands than against Argentina. That game will start in 20 minutes, both teams will play in a 5-3-2 formation. It's going to be another low-scoring match.
Brazil fans still can't believe they lost to Croatia. It was truly a breathtaking game. When Neymar, one of Brazil's best players, put Brazil 1-0 up, they thought they might have secured victory. But Croatia leveled the score in the second half of extra time in a dramatic fashion. In fact, I can say that one of the heroes of Croatia's victory in this match today is their goalkeeper.

Netherlands vs Argentina. Despite completing the group stage undefeated, the Netherlands, which did not attract much attention with its football, displayed a more comfortable and confident football while passing the USA in the last 16 rounds. Especially Dumfries gave a great offensive contribution throughout the match. On the other hand, we can say that Argentina won against Australia without forcing the conditions. In the first half hour of the match, we can say that Messi did not have much work. One of the key points for Argentina is that the team's defense is very good and that Alvarez is in the savior position at the front while Lautaro Martinez is out of stability. The team that made a mistake in this match has a very difficult chance to make up. I think both teams will come to the fore defensively.
I think, on the contrary, that the game will be sharp and attacking, because everyone expected Brazil to play attacking soccer, but they decided to play defense, in the end they lost.
So I think here will also win the one who boldly goes on the attack from the beginning. The idea is that one boring game in this championship is followed by an interesting game with a lot of goals.
The coach of Argentina seems to be learning on the move and made conclusions after Saudi Arabia, so if he saw the match Croatia Brazil, he understands that there is no chance to play from defense. It's not the group stage and everyone who made it to 1/4 is an attacking team that usually ends up scoring at least one goal.
Therefore, teams should look for happiness in the attack, if they do not want to end up like Spain or Brazalia.
