What Do You Think About Brazil's Elimination?

Definitely brazil did not play well against croatia for the cup lost the cup.

When it comes to Brazil in the World Cup, nothing new.
At least he didn't lose 7x1.

Brazil made the mistake of playing at the pace of Croatia, and that's why they lost

yes really they didn't control the game when they were ahead, they had everything to win today's game

Good afternoon.Brazil thought that after Neymar scored,the game was over but they were wrong.Croatia will be a dangerous rival for Argentina in semis.It would be a great mistake if Argentina thought they are already in the final.

They shot themselves in the foot, 3 mins to go, and they leave 3 defenders at the back. You have to learn game management to win consistently.

Previous to this they were the most dangerous side, but not by much.

This is what brasil deserves after that "incident" ...

Hi. I think they play much better than Croatia. In the second half Time they was really better. But they don't kill the game. And they loose because they let Hope yo Croitia. Same story España - Marueco.
I like when the "smaller" win againt the Big one

fair after such a kick into the face, took it for the hole country

It was a tough loss for Brazil that's for sure... Croatia is lead by a 37 yo Modric that is usually 'out of gas' after 60 minutes, a team without 'big names' and with an obvious tactic- defend with every player and try to win at penalties... Brazil didn't play that bad, especially in the 2nd half they had a few huge chances to score and only that bit of luck and a goalkeeper in some miracle form stopped them from winning in regular time... Here comes the part where I really 'blame' Brazil- after Neymar scored in extra-time it should have been game over as Croatia didn't have any shot on goal so surely it shouldn't be a problem for the biggest favorite to win the World Cup to maintain the lead(maybe even score another goal now that Croatia has to change their strategy and leave spaces in defense...), IMO it's just unacceptable and I also don't know why so many coaches go with their defenders at penalties(Marquinhos missed, van Dijk missed...)

Let's see what the rest of the tournament has in store for us, personally, I'll switch to Argentina and hope that Messi will lead his team to win the trophy- it should be easy in the Semi-finals vs. Croatia right?! lol

the game wasn't bad, but brazil played into croatia's hands. it was known that the Croatians are a team that play the ball to demolish the opponent. it suits him well in brazil, because after scoring the first goal, they had to play for the second. then the penalties went the way it went, you know. In short . Brazil's fault.

The football injustice. Croatia play like atletico de madrid, for who really likes football, is horrible to see a team play like them

Thanks for this I laughed really hard 😂
Have my own little furry devil.
She looks cute...but that's just for show

Well deserved. A team like these 11 Brazilians must be able to break through Croatia's defense more easily.

Maybe the problem is in the coach, knowing that Croatia will play for a draw, as you said, it is not very intensive to rebuild the game after a goal is scored, maybe the players were instructed to play defensively and play for time after a goal is scored ... a set of penalties is generally I do not understand

Croatia take one shoot in the goal all the game, and make the goal, it's very sad

I think Croatia will win another match

I believe they overestimated Croatia and thought they could score at any moment when they entered the game. Even after Neymar's goal,
they still acted overconfident and celebrated as if the game were already won. It was bizarre to witness Brazil and Argentina defend after leading yesterday. No wonder that both teams needed penalties since, let's face it, Latin teams typically have good attacking skills but lack the capacity to defend like the European nations.

Yes, Brazil was good at the match, but the players themselves were to blame, they had to score the second goal and only then roll the ball across the field. Croatia is strong in the penalty shootout, everyone knows that, I don't think Brazil wanted to play the lottery with them, but it turned out the way it happened, we'll now wait for Neymar's freerolls for pokerstars))

Brazil played better, everything Croatia wanted went to penalties. Anyway, we'll have another chance in 4 years.

Not true. Actually Croatia took 5 shots and all of them went in.

Time for Messi to bring Argentina to the finals. And Morocco may just give France a good challenge.

And why do you think is that? Maybe it's thanks to our players. We managed to establish a game on the field that suits us.

I knew even before the match what we had to do to get past Brazil, but honestly I was skeptical that we would succeed for two reasons.
The first reason is that we are no longer as strong as we were 4 years ago in Russia, many players who played in the first lineup said goodbye to the Croatian national team (Rakitić, Mandžukić, Rebić, Vrsaljko, Vida, Strinić...half of the first lineup literally), and the second is that Brazil has a really strong team this year.

Brazil was better in the second half, created more chances, which was to be expected.

I read the comments that Brazil played badly and I can't agree with that. The Brazilian players really wanted to win the World Cup this year and they did their best and were actually good. You played against an opponent who did not allow you to play your game, and that's it. I don't think there are many teams that can do that against Brazil and to my surprise we did it.

Against Serbia and South Korea you showed how good you can play football and it was a real pleasure to watch that art. I wish you better luck in the next World Cup...unless you come across us again

And as for the semi-final duel against Argentina. At the last World Cup in Russia, we beat them 3-0 quite easily, but I will say it again, we are not as strong as we were back than, but I still believe in our victory.
