Croatia v Brazil - Fri 9th Dec, 15:00 | Quarter-final | World Cup 2022

[Stoned Rose]

No problem with the dancing even though it’s a bit tedious after a couple of times

I’d just love to see Croatia send them home anyway but it’s doubtful

Got your wish mate :)

I have to give it to Modric, that was some performance for an oldy.

And couldn’t beat anyone in a knockout game in 90 mins along the way whilst also having one of the easiest paths to a final in history

Sounds a bit like England.

Absolutely loved watching that.

I said pre match Croatia are a wily old **** of a team and they fucking showed it today.

I expected Brazil to sneak through but fair fucks to the streetwise Croats.

Brazil need to concentrate on bringing midfielders through.

They’re just always attackers or defenders. Who was the last great Brazilian midfielder?

None of their midfielders would get in the starting line-ups of any of the other teams in the Quarter finals yet they’ve been lauded as tournament favourites and favourites for this game and everyone was acting like it was a shock in the commentary team and in the studio.

Football matches are won and lost in midfield and Brazil didn’t have a midfield.

Strange, against S Korea the commentary team said Cashimero was the best midfielder in the world! Since he went to the swamp I presume.

Brazil learning if you rely on rag players in your team you ain't getting nowhere near the top

 

[DenisHasDoneIt]

Casemiro always looks like he’s just eaten something and had an allergic reaction.

Looks like he’s eaten Ronaldo.

That Croatian MF of Kovacic - Brozovic - Modric might be the best in the world, I just find it funny that nobody in BBC studio had balls to discuss that question. They probably didn't watch Brozovic being the best Inter player for ever and carrying them in so many games, or Kovacic who could easily play for us, and let not even mention that 'little bugger'. The lack of a proper CF and old age is preventing them being considered a serious contender.
And Brazil just keep proving that every WC they'll hit a wall of some European team sooner or later.

Brail have an existential dilemma, flair and charisma is their ace in the pocket.

If you going to get technical, they can do that but it's not their forte.

As a brazilian, we died a little ever since Ronsldinho left.

And it really breaks my heart.

The game is today is too "Structured/ proffesional" for the Brazilian spirit to truly run free. ( I do believe that this approach would win a world cup). Coached out! It's like when a company like VW takes over Buggatti or Lamborghini. My mom and I are crying every world cup as a brazilian its obligatory, there is a part of this that is related to capitalism and colonialism that has killed/ cleansed / sanitized, choose your adjective.

Where is the spirit of Gaurincha, or the original Ronaldo,Danilson, Rivaldo,Roberto Carlos, Ronaldinho, Danilson , Socrates, I could go on.
What's wrong with a team of flair players?

I do believe that brazilian woman and the most spectacular rear ends on the planet, has a significant correlation on the way football should be played in our country. We need to go back to Samba and ass at all costs!

The Brazilians just lack discipline simple as that
