Well I can't deny that Denmark always gives a lot to talk about, the teams that are from these countries have a very peculiar fútbol, but it's like you say, we can talk a lot about football, but until they beat Argentina, France, Brazil I think that the countries continue to have a football that is sorely lacking, I say these countries because I know that Croatia is capable of winning and it has, for a reason they got so far in Qatar, Croatian fútbol is also very good, main demonstration , your captain Luka Modric, one of the best fútbol players in the world, winner of the Golden Ball, is something impressive.

Everyone says that Croatia has Luka Modric but I think the UEFA Nations league will be his last competition in the national team. He is getting old and I'm sure it's hard for him to keep up with all the games. It will be interesting to see who will replace him in the Croatian team.

Croatia has great sqaud that's made up of world class players who in their prime can beat any side in the world. Their midfield maestro is one of the very few midfield players to have ever win the Balon D'or.
However Croatia is never a match to the Brazilian team when it comes to quality players. Brazil's second XI can comfortably beat any team in The word right now. Brazil is the most successful football nation and I think it'll be difficult for anyone to stand them on their day

No need to overestimate Brazil. When was the last time they won the world cup? And forget about their second XI, what happened to their first XI in Qatar 2022? Having talented players in your team is one thing and knowing how to use them as a team is another. Back in Qatar, they had a star-studded side comprised of players like Neymar, Richarlison and Thiago Silva. But what happened during the playoffs? They couldn't even qualify for the semi-finals. As long as Brazil can't play as a team, individual performances from the players won't do them much good.

I agree that there is no need to overestimate Brazil, but you can't judge a team for their performance in one playoffs. Playoff games are always risky and it's pretty easy to lose a game even if you are playing better than your opponent. I'm not saying that Brazil was better than Croatia when they lost, but I agree with Docnaster that Brazil would have won at least 7 out of 10 games against Croatia. I guess that in Qatar it was one of the three games where Croatia wins.
