    If Croatia gets in a hole early they may be forced to open up their game.

    I'm really looking forward to the Netherlands-Argentina matchup later on today. That should be better than the Brazil-Croatia matinee, but ya never know....

    0-0 at halftime.
    Croatia can still win this.

    That bus is going full throttle, pedal to the metal and attacking Brazil.
    Very lively game.

    Yup - Defense looks good and they are pushing the ball up the field instead of totally sandbagging it out there.

    And Brazil looks really lethargic - I saw little to no urgency in that squad during the first half. Snooz-A-Rama.....:bored:zzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Brazil having lots of trouble against Croatia. Brazil very flat. One would think that Brazil are the team that played 120 minutes in the round of 16.

    Yes, Croatia came out a lot more positively than I was expecting.

    One moment of brilliance is going to win this if it isn't going to penalties.

    Their whole defence has been solid.

    Poor CF has gone quiet.
    Looking like extra time at the moment.

    Tite with terrible subs. Should have subbed Rodrygo for Raphinha and kept Vini and Richarlison. Even when these two are not having a good game, they can suddenly explode and decide a game. Brazil worsened after the subs and look toothless now. Overtime now.

    I was somewhat surprised with the Richarlison sub myself.

    See what happens when you say something mean.
    That's your karma biting you on the arse.

    OMG.
    Hard to say Croatia don't deserve a chance at penalties though.

    Deflection. Brazil unlucky there.

    Looking good for the penalties.

    Croatia never gave up.
    Brazil relaxed.
    Storybook finish.
