It's true that both team are well balance and strong teams they also give hard time to each other in 2014 but Brazil takeover and win the match , in this world we also hope that Brazil will takeover Croatia because Brazil attack are better than Croatia but it didn't happen, both team play very well and Neymar score at last minute before game end but unfortunately the Croatia score also and equalize the score but in penelty shots the didn't do well and as a result after marquinhos miss the pently and that the main reason of brazil loss
& Unfortunately after all hardwork a small mistake make him out of world cup with tears 😭
I don't know, but in my opinion the brazilian team was superior (in statistics and mainly in the roster of the team).
Everyone was confident that they would win against Croatia, because they only had Luka Modrić who is an excellent player and also dangerous.
If we analyze, Brazil managed to shoot 21 times, against Croatia's 9, in terms of shots on goal, Brazil made 11 shots against Croatia's only 1, and it was precisely this single kick that kept Croatia's hopes alive against Croatia. From then on, Brazil "literally died" and the Croats took advantage of this great opportunity and managed to reverse it and beat Brazil on penalties
It was really a tough game for Brazil and Croatia. The match was running at a fairly high tempo, even the two teams also did not hesitate to commit fouls in order to destroy their opponent's attacks. In my opinion, Brazil looks slightly better than Croatia but Croatia has a good mentality and confidence which they were able to equalize when they fell behind Brazil and in the end, they were able to win the game in the penalty shootout.
I think few people thought that it was Croatia that ended up going through to the semi-finals because Brazil does look more convincing than Croatia. But this is football, where there is often a surprise and anything can happen.
