Unbelievably the struggle of the Croatian players, when Neymar scored the winning goal for Brazil everyone thought the match would be won by Brazil. Who would have thought, one counter attack from Croatia could change everything.
The penalty shoot-out round had made all the Brazilian supporters unable to believe what they had just seen, Croatia had managed to beat one of the most favored teams.
Congratulations to Croatia for making it into the semifinals, they will be waiting for the winner between the Netherlands vs Argentina who will be their opponent.

Its official now, Brazil the five times world champions are going home. But what a game it was, it was Neymar who take Brazil to front by scoring a goal in 106 minute and Croatia made an equalizer goal in 116 minute. On penalties they say, the one who scores first wins the plenty shoot out. Congratulations to Croatia and thanks to Brazil for showing such a splendid performance.
Unexpectedly Croatia played aggressively this time, they could control the match for some time until finally Brazil could take over, this was an interesting match both teams played attacking without anyone being more inclined to defend.
No goals have been scored yet but both teams have a chance to score although Brazil's attack is more dangerous so far but Croatia is very solid especially their goalkeeper who continues to perform well.
I think it was a balanced game in the first halftime and both Croatia and Brazil got some chances to score.No goals have been scored yet but both teams have a chance to score although Brazil's attack is more dangerous so far but Croatia is very solid especially their goalkeeper who continues to perform well.
But this chances wasnt really dangerous for the Goalkeepers . I looking excited forward to the second halftime.
My heart this time is with Croatia and hopefully they will be make it , even they win with luck.
Maybe the yellow card for Danilo can break there neck.
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.

Even though i thought that Brazil would be the slight favorite in this match i also expected it to be a very close game and i was surprised that Brazil was biggest favorite to win and therefore had the worst odds out of all the matches of the quarterfinals. Croatia played as expected and they managed to keep away the Brazilians from their goal almost the entire match. Of course Brazil was the dominating team and their goal to go in front with 1-0 was definitely deserved at that point. The equalizer of Croatia was pretty lucky in my opinion because it was their first shot on the goal of the whole match and it went in.
Croatia is just so mentally strong during the penalty shoot-out. Congrats Croatia.

Unbelievable and unexpected result. Brazilians, including players, staff, spectators, and most people watching this match were all in shock!Called it first.
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
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!

What an amazing match! So much awesome defense in the first 90, two incredible goals in OT, and to finish it off on penalty kicks against Allison Becker! Hats off to Croatia, I had Brazil going all the way at the start, but I suspected that Croatia wouldn't make it easy for anyone they faced.
Brazil are out on penalties. They brought that on themselves in the extension. If you are leading 1-0, you just have to close things up and make sure no one can pass. the 1-1 was a bit lucky but Croatia should never have had that chance of course. In the penalty shootout, Brazil seemed already broken before they had to start. Croatia took the penalties very sharply and placed. Brazil is not going to be world champion again, who would be the remaining favourite, France?
Yeah, Croatia for the win with that 4-2 in the penalties. What a series of turn of events, when Neymar was really able to play then they fall short on Croatia. I think this will be a match for semis between Croatia and Argentina, my wild guess.
Croatia 1-1 Brazil (4-2 on pens)
Petkovic 116' Neymar 105+1'

Brazil played too relaxed and defended when they scored their first goal in the first half of extra time and finally Croatia made a surprise goal, I hope Brazil can win on penalties but if they lose it is a lesson that needs to be taken for the next world cup, but Croatia has experience of penalty shootouts against japan and croatia goalkeeper really good
The game between Brazil and Croatia has been a great match for the neutrals. The two teams couldn't be separated in 120 minutes, and we're going to penalties. The score is locked at 1-1. It's hard to predict who will come out on top. We're going to penalties!
Time for penalties in Brazil Vs Croatia.
I think both keepers will make a couple saves but Brazil will go through

Another goal by Croatia the match score now 1-1 goal . it is really amazing The battle is still going on in the game. It seems that the winner of the match will now be decided by penalties.
Indeed the official timing ended and they will move to penalties. Croatia was quite solid in this match and scoring a goal after almost losing the game was impressive!Now it is more about luck rather than skills! Brazil is in crisis right now and risk to be eliminated
What a match in extra time Croatia with the first shot on target in the entire match scores a goal and now the moral boost is on the Croatia side that really has a good history with penalties on big tournament so they are in advantage in the penalties

Croatia's goal was very unexpected, Brazil looked to have switched off after neymar's goal thinking that they had already won the game and were moving through to the semi-finals. This game has been Brazil's biggest test in this world cup as nobody would have even seen this game going into penalties. Croatia has the advantage on penalties already as they have already played Penalties in this world cup with their goalkeeper who is in form obviously saving three balls.All eyes on the Samba boys to see if they will go through, or Croatia against all odds.

Funny game. Since the beginning it is not the game that many expected. Now penalty kicking and that is a coin flip. This we seen in the game Spain, or the goalkeeper from Poland has well blocked shots from 11 meters the balls. I would still be surprised if Brazil does not win. 
And the Croatians have just equalized and scored a goal of their own thereby drawing the game now. The game is now more likely to go into penalties. Bruno having scored the goal for Croatia and getting a yellow card also for celebrating with his shirt off. Croatia would now go into full defense mode to defend the goal. I fear if the match does go into penalties, Brazil is likely to lose as in my opinion, they could not go head to head with Croatia in penalties. The Croatian keeper has saved his side over and over and deserve some praise.

They have an equalizer goal and the match is only 3 to 5 minutes including extra minutes left. Will Croatia have another match with penalty shoot out in World Cup?In the goal, if Marquinhos did not try to stop that shot, Allison Becker should save it. Anyway, Croatia proved that they can attack well too even attacking against Brazil. They did make that counter attack very quickly and with three passes, they had a goal. Things work like a clock for Croatia in that counter attack.
Modric will not be sent out in this match because Croatia need to attack to find a goal. After Brazil scored a first goal, camera heads toward Modric and his disappointment. Now he can smile.
Update:
Finally, 120 minutes ended with 1 - 1 as a final result.
Another goal by Croatia the match score now 1-1 goal . it is really amazing The battle is still going on in the game. It seems that the winner of the match will now be decided by penalties. Croatia is showing incredible performance Brazil is a world famous team and not able to beat Croatia it's a shame for them. What is going to be the penalty? Which team will be the winner according to your prediction?
