Surely this one is only going one-way?

I should imagine it’s the end of the road for Croatia but you never know, they have a lot of experience. Just seems they are lacking a bit of cutting edge, although they did stick 4 past Canada.

They’ll be much more organised than Korea were against Brazil anyway. Brazil didn’t find it easy to break down more organised teams like Serbia and Switzerland. There’s also a lot of nonsense about Brazil’s bench being able to win the World Cup when they couldn’t even beat Cameroon.

I think Brazil will get through quite comfortably in the end. Although it wouldn’t be the biggest surprise if Croatia pushed them all the way either.
 
It's still the worst Brazil team in my lifetime....

But it might just win them a world cup!

That's not to say it's a shit team, it obviously isn't. But when you look back to the late 90s/2000s with Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronadinho.

They have Neymar, who is one incredible player... if things go his way.

The croatians are Wiley campaigners these days. I can't see Brazil battering them.
 
Both teams better than the sum of their parts.

Can see Brazil pipping it.

It's an underwhelming team compared to teams in the past, but they have a good mix of experience and youth and have a lot of depth. 2014 team with Jo and Fred up front worse though they still managed to get to the semi final before losing 7 - 1 vs Germany!
