I didn't really expect this result and I thought Brazil would win this trophy. Perhaps one of the weakest teams at the moment managed to eliminate the most favorite team. Congratulations to Croatia, it is a great achievement that they conceded only 1 goal in such a match.
Once again, we have seen that it is not so important how good the team is, its performance that day is more important. Once again, we watched a match in overtime and the favorite team was defeated on penalties Cheesy

Yeah truly it is now seen that nothing is impossible in the game of football. The favorites to win the  world cup has been knocked out of the competition by the last world cup runners up. Croatia is just an awesome team when its comes to team spirit and togetherness in the  field of play.  Anything that makes any match to reach the extra time and then to penalties is no longer a game of who is more better, Brazil was truly better than croatia but when the game reached penalties it was all luck to control who is gonna win the game and they lost.

Am really disappointed in Brazil because i just a 100$ stake on them to qualify to the next stage and they have truly disappointed me for now i think i will juat lay low and just go for a  first half draw in the remaining games because this round of 8 is really a  do or die affair

I just can't take this result man. Croatia just parked the bus and somehow carried the game to the penalty shoot-outs. This is like the most boring kind of game strategy I have ever seen. Of course I know that they were the underdog and they needed to play more carefully. But I just don't believe they deserved to advance.

It is a huge disappointment for Brazil. They really tried their best from the beginning to the end. Neymar's goal was a result of a great organization and I was like "That's it!". But Croatia still scored the goal somehow. Brazil needed to be more aware in defense after getting ahead.

What a goal that was by Neymar Jr. But in the end that has come to nothing. Brazil fought like a man and lost. Croatia has always done the same. They have dragged every match to penalty and won. This is like history repeat itself. I hate European gameplay. They have like no class in football gameplay. Let's see what the other team does in this series.

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.

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.

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.


congrats to croatia for advancing to the semifinals although i'm a little disappointed with the brazil game tonight it looks bad like never before, the way brazil played seems to underestimate croatia too much, i'm a little disappointed to see the penalty shootout happened too, but it's a ball game nothing is impossible and in the end i got to see brazil come home

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.

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.

In this match Croatia vs Brazil Brazil scored a goal. We saw that Brazil managed to score a goal after a lot of hard fighting between the two teams. The first goal was scored by Neymar in 105+1 match. Brazil scored this goal through a lot of trouble. I am now waiting to see the result at the end of the game.  What happens in the match?
Both of these teams defended and attacked with great difficulty. They tried to come out victorious, but their efforts failed when the score changed to a draw with each other's scores. The match was very hot and made many spectators tense. Usually Brazil gives surprises in every match, but in this match there was nothing interesting for Brazil.

Before the World Cup, many predicted that the two most qualified teams for the final this time are Belgium and Brazil. Belgium is eliminated in the group stage. And Brazil exited the quarterfinals, with teams like Germany, Belgium, Brazil and Spain eliminated from the World Cup. Argentina's victory against the Netherlands in the next match will not be easy. I wouldn't be surprised if Argentina were to drop out.

The main reason for Brazil's defeat today was the remarkable performance of the opponent's goalkeeper. I would not say that the Brazilian players played badly. They performed very well. But Dominik Livakovic's performance was outstanding. He made several outstanding saves. Livakovic made a total of 11 saves in this match. Livakovic blocked every shot from the Brazilian players.

The point is that Brazil scored the goal in the 105 minutes and when they know they had to defend for only 15 more minutes why they kept the defense too open? Why Brazil did not go all in defensive and win the match? I think Brazil missed the trick here and lost the match that they should have won.

Bad luck to Brazil as they were one of the teams who could have and were capable of winning this world cup but they were eliminated in the quarterfinal by a weaker team Croatia.

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.

Didn't expect Croatia to beat Brazil. All game Brazil were able to create dangerous moments and dominate the match. When they scored, I was sure that Croatia wouldn't have the energy to score a return goal. They have the oldest team in this championship. But when it came to the penalty shootout, I knew Brazil was out of luck. Now it's down to the Netherlands against Argentina, where I am no longer sure Messi's team will win, especially after the Brazilian loss.

Unpredictable with Croatia success lead to semifinal after beating Brazil trough penalty kick, I was bored watching this games because at 90 minutes not any attempt created by both national team. Have excited at extra minutes added actually when Neymar scoring goals but they loss huge pressure before Croatia make it draw.

Actually Croatia always have lucky moment when match draw and continue with penalty kick, last match beaten Japan trough penalty kick and Croatian goal keeper Dominik Livaković always made save. Croatia waiting for the winner between Netherland vs Argentina for semifinal stage and we close dreaming to see Brazil in final FIFA World Cup 2022.

Yes Levakovic is a hero for Croatia tonight, for sure, if it wasn't for him there would be no penalty shootout.
Brazilians probably did not expect such a stubborn game. This is generally the problem of South American national teams, they are very dependent on the mood.
Neymar of course tried as hard as he could and almost made the game, but then some unimaginable way Croats won back, probably affected by the fact that Brazil has older defenders, who can still play at a high tempo in the main time, but the additional one is felt to be lack of strength.
Well, the penalty shootout is always a lottery, in which this time Croatia was luckier.

Unbelievable and unexpected result. Brazilians, including players, staff, spectators, and most people watching this match were all in shock!
I said before I won't be surprised if Croatia won after seeing how they started the game but I thought that Brazil still could win. Just wow, the most favourite team to win this version of World Cup was eliminated in an early stage Embarrassed
Don't know if Brazil defeat was more shocking than Argentina defeat vs Saudi Arabia but definitely the impact of Brazil elimination was way bigger!

It wasn't unbelievable but rather unexpected. Brazil tipped to play the finals have been eliminated. I don't agree with you that its an early stage the last eight isn't early. Although shocking but it wasn't a big upset like the Argentines vs Arabian. The problem I have is Brazil always depends on  individual brilliance and went off immediately after scoring. Croatia showed tenacity, dedication, team work and had believe. Livakovic made 9 saves to send Croatia to extra time. Another wonderful display by the Croatian, he deserves a red carpet welcome no matter were they finish from here.

Any country coming to face Croatia at semis must be prepared. A back to back semi final isn't just a luck. This is the real generation squad

What a match, Now you're finally happy that Croatia won.
4x failures in the quarterfinals is like a curse for Brazil.
Big congratulations for Croatia for not giving up until the end Petkovic's goal to equalize dashed all Brazil's hopes and once again Livakovic the Croatian goalkeeper was outstanding.
Yes i am happy that Croatia won and is in the next round , even as i have written it was with luck in the penalties shoot.
After the second halftime i thought that they will get a goal in the regular time , and after the scored goal from Neymar i lost hope.
Croatia was fighting very good and they got there goal , and about the Croatian goalkeeper for me he is the man of the match.
Congrats Croatia.
