I was shocked I was convinced that Neymar had won Brazil the game, horrible game management.

You score the goal in 105 minutes and with 15 minutes left, you attack with five players where you think that you will score again against Croatia. Really ? You did not score in 90 minutes, but you will score two goals in overtime against Croatia ? Sure. Croatia had only one shot, but one shot is all they need. Difference.

This game was a critical lesson that a great defense is better than a great attack. Brazil forgot how to defense.

Go CROATIA!! Well done for taking down a giant in soccer world. Up up Croatia!

100% AGREE!I felt this is the dumbest way to get eliminated.

Brazil was so naive

Juls said “let’s hoof the ball into Saudi Arabia” 😂😂😂

I’ve seen Petkovic score some beauty dribbling goals in Euro football matches !

Give Croatia their credit! With that being said Brazil defeated themselves. All they had to do was defend and keep possession of the ball poor decision by the manager.

Before this game I said that Croatia will beat Brazil because Brazil have reached their peak against Switzerland before this. And it's clearly show when they struggle to score.

Croatia is never a easy team to play. It's that simple! People who follow Euros knows this

they lost to their coaches substitutions. he replaced his right back (Militao) and Sandro was nowhere to be seen when the croatia broke out with acres of empty space on their left channel.

These ESPN Pundits should eat their words. We heard from them a million times that Brazil are the perfect team because they are well-balanced. Looking at the facts, Germany and Spain are close to Brazil. When I watched Brazil, I realized that opponents could exploit their right back and the midfield because Vinicius Junior and Neymar have zero interest in defending, thereby making Brazil vulnerable to counterattacks.

my god bless crotica fans 🇭🇷🇭🇷

Goalkeeper Croatia Defence Croatia Midfield Croatia Attack Brazil Coach Croatia Mentality Croatia Penalities GK Croatia Penalties shooters Croatia Yep lucky and undeserved

Brazil act like the world cup is owed to them

With Croatia everything is possible😉🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷💪💪💪

Thank you guys for all love 😊 Huge respect from Croatia 😊😊😊

You can debate until you become blue in your face....but the fact remains-Croatia is in the semi-finals!From the coach,assistants,,,,all the way to the players,,,,perfectly executed!

Among all e 4 Quarter Final matches, this match was chosen as e easy path for Brazil...a walk over for them ...as compared to France vs England, Argentina vs Holland n even Portugal vs Morocco....But not many pp will expect Croatia to defeat e Brazilians!!! What a upset but credit must go to Croatia for making that impossible into possible!! Brazil had really let many pp down!!!

People called me crazy when I said Croatia will beat Brazil. I can already see people having Brazil as favorites again for the 2026 World Cup

Watched a replay of the goal again...Brazil had 4-5 players AHEAD of the ball once Croatia got it and Fred was up front 😭

Petkovic is nothing like "big lump of a striker", he is very good with a ball... it was not just an "insane moment" for him.

brazil lacks a proper midfield trio .....casemeiro cannot do it all.... it was evident from copa america 2021 when Argentina comfortably defeated brazil 1-0 ....lucas paqueta and raphinha aren't that midfield players who can win you titles....omitting firmino , not bringing on martinelli ,fabinho also played a big part in the defeat

You literary did not watch a single Bruno Petković’s game. That honest suprise with his ‘tekker’ moment just show how ignorant you really are towards him. Far from saying he is a perfect striker, but a ‘channeling his inner Boufal moment’ is a completely ridiculous statement. At least check some of his highlights.

Brazilian coach is the one to blame. He made so many mistakes. Take Vinicius junior, Richarlison and Militao out was a big mistake in my opinion

Brasil doesn’t park the bus , ever.

Tuff loss only needed to defend instead of going for more goals

I said it before Brazil was dominant due to their crazy individual talents. European teams are well oiled fundamental machines. They play their roles, stay in their zones and play smart futbol

Croatia didn't let brazil play. Croatia bossed them.

The manager got it wrong again. Even after the goal, Ederson should have came on to face the penalty shootout.

That is how good Croatia is

Marquinhos is not a clutch player in defense in high stakes match; militao should have started instead pairing up with Thiago Silva

The big problem is naivety and personal grandiosity of Brazilian players which is tangible.

I think the subtitution of Eder Militao was crucial to their defence

I am angry at Brazil players for letting themselves and fans down. Why on earth they didn’t hold on to the ball for last 5 minutes?! 😭

Brazil left out Firmino, he brings sense to player's and defends well

How do you take Vini Jr. out of the game while leaving defenders who can barely move from the exhaustion?

The curse of early celebration and cat continues 🤣

Croatia 🇭🇷 you respect this guys they play with fear

They said in 6 min what really mattered in 120 minutes. How could Brazil make such a silly mistake? This is for the players and ofcourse for the coach; this loss will haunt you for the rest of your lives. Focusing on dancing, hair dye, tattoo and other extra things were what they are doing. The next day you are knocked out, you are nobody. Please don't do similar mistakes every four years. From your die hard fan across the Atlantic.

The first half was all about Croatia, the second was all about Brasil. The 1st extra game was all about Brasil, the second extra was all about Croatia. The penalties was all Croatia!! And it was great how calm they stayed. Croatia was better and that is end of the story. What once was Brasil, now is Croatia! And with this experience, mentality, correctnes, discipline and strength they can achieve anything. Maybe in future they will have even better attackers! One thing from history. There are many stories from the past, in one qoute Napoloen said: "Give me 100.000 Croatian warriors and I will conquer the whole World!" They were one of the most feared soldiers. So the genes are why Croatians are so good in sports... Roman Empire fought 150 years to conquere the Serbo-Croatian ancestors, the Ilyrians. Then few Roman Emperors were born in Croatia, and 18 in Serbia! We are not small. Its You, not knowing history.

Tite fxckd up by subbing on Fred instead of Fabinho... Fred came on and thought he was an attacking midfielder. Plus Fabinho is an excellent penalty shooter.. Wasted opportunity for Brazil

If Croatia beat Argentina is SF They will win the WC no matter who is in finals Situation is like UCL last season

Brazil is passe. It can produce 2 or 3 national teams but their glorious days are gone. They won 3 WCs in the 50's and 60's cuz Europeans had not completely recovered from World War II and they had Pele. Now Europeans are back. Congratulations Croatia.

Croatia was better team overall...leta go Croatia!!!

I hope Argentina learns from Brazil’s mistakes

I echo Juls' sentiment. Credit to Croatia , but never in any world should any 21/22 year old player have to bear the responsibility of taking a penalty, at the quarter finals of his first world cup.

The mistake was not protecting the box on the lead 1-0. Everybody in defense. Neymar 's beautiful goal deserved to be the winner.

To do what these guys suggested Brazil needs midfield.

Please tell me y Neymar didn't go first

Croatia stopped Brazil in their game

Dalić made mistakes as well. Majer and Oršić are top top players and he only gave em 15 minutes

Stop making excuses for Brasil and gave us Croatians some props.WAAAAAR CROATIA

"Yeah, maan, sooo stupid".. EXCEPT - the same thing happened to Argentina the same day - 2:2 goal in the last minute of extra time! That's FOOTBALL.

that was correct from the french reporter that neymar like messi have taken the first one then it could have been a different result

"Croatia lured Brazil to the deep end of the river and drowned them just like they did Japan. Croatia is the old experienced hitman who is not flashy and just gets it done."

Can’t slam Tite for Neymar at 5th spot but I can rip for Rodrygo at 1 Neymar converted the pen at the Olympic finals. He’s most clutch.

Croatia should have won in 1998 but a lot of terrible calls vs France and then again in 2018 we're just unlucky vs France, seems to be turning into a curse. Hype. Croatians are great at sport, period.

Thanks for your good service mister! 🇵🇾 Very well done!

the problem was subbing on Fred when it should have been Fabinho and then let Fabinho be the first penalty taker.

Six Brazilian players went to the forward instead of defending

Not playing Martinelli is shocking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Their penalty order was awful. I think it’s better to start your best first and set the tone.

Somebody needs to do a super cut of Julien saying the word “Incredible”

How many times have pundits hailed teams when the best pk taker takes the last one scores and win his team the tie...pundits just complain for complaint sake no matter what

Does nobody see that Brazil's players wanted to go 2-0 and end with a show-off choreographed dance? They had no thought at that point that Croatia could score on them. Hubris.

I don't get the substitution & Fred.... And talking about Fred - where was Fred.....??

A day and a moment I want to forget but I don't know how will I be able to pass this terrible moment 😔 I am going through so much pain 😭 I never felt like this in my whole life what I'm facing since yesterday nightmare..oh my Lord! What and why Brazil had done 😥

Rodrgyo going first was fine He scored all of his pens for Madrid before the World Cup

Rodrygo is a good penalty taker for one of the best teams in the world Real Madrid for all the pressure for playing for such club

That game was in favor of Croatia, they knew what they were doing tactically, we knowhow good they are. But Brazil have themselves to blame after taking the lead, that's what everyone is pissed of about. Instead of protecting the lead they want a second goal making unnecessary subs and committing men forward. They got themselves to blame, particularly the coach

Brasil,Brasil,Brasil......Croatia🇭🇷💪💪❤

Martinelli and Gabriel would have made a difference...

Excellent pressure on crotica

"The away goals rule..."! 😅😅😅

Somewhere David Luiz was crying again.....

Yes Brazil have the best players in the world but Croatia was the better team. Just accept the defeat.

It was weird as most teams ,Brazil themselves have done really well when defending for last 10 min or so . So it was really weird

Luv Gab's Seattle Sounder shirt.

Not you guys favorites Brazil! Lol “experts”

Me encanta ver a estos chicos amor desde Medellín 🇨🇴❤️

♥️JOGA BONITO, SAMBA DO CROATO! 🇭🇷NEKA PATI, KOGA SMETA, HRVATSKA JE PRVAK SVIJETA...🇭🇷=👍🌎

At extra time, I will park a bus at my goal post after taking the lead........

I watched Tite on the tele motioning the team to push up after the first goal. Smh

It's not easy to be a fan of brazil 😭

I agree with you guys ' Brazil should have stayed back to protect the goal

Croatia since 1998 entering the world cup have come close to winning most world cups, there's no surprise. The hype for some teams is like crypto, it's based on opinion and not looking at true value.

Tite and his favouritism in the choice of Fred over Fabinho cost a world cup

Thiago Silver backing away from the shot was the worst. Just take it like a man and block that shot.

Excellent pressure for crotica

I’m not an out and out expert like Gab (nor am I Croatian) but I certainly know who Mislav Orsic is, and I have to believe the Brazilians and anyone who’s watched Dynamo in Europe the last 2 years should as well. And his assessment of Petkovic seems patently unfair and off the mark too.

Brazil has a great attack and a great defense. The problem is, they dont know the stretch-squeeze

It is my question also how a 21 yrs old kid starts a penalty shoot out..!? What's wrong with Tite!? What did he want to prove? Why did 6/7 plyers remain opposite half in 117th minutes!?

Brazil I think are victims of being the leaders of the game and having more possession, when they were 1-0 up finally and croatia had to score, Since they were in the driver seat all match they just can't defend, that's why i think a defending team might just win this world cup ( croatiaor portugal) These teams know how to sit deap and defend and when they attack the other team have no idea how to defned those counter properly because they aren't used to defend

that was some shocking defending by brazil. i always believe in the pk shooutout your best pk taker must take the 1st, 3rd, 4th pk. if i remember, the italy vs france wcup final shootout, pirlo went 1st, de rossi 3rd, del piero 4th. i thought someone like casemeiro should have kicked first, you really dont want a 21 year old kicking first

Away goals rule 🤣 Gab please stop

They should have submitted raphinha off first half for fabhino or Fred. Then they would have had the control of the game.

Mentally beyond and above any other team , it is just, hard will and a strong heart that will give such results , ofc there has to be a little bit of luck(1%) in this magic potion called Croatia with talent (1%) and 98% heart

It started with team selection for wc. Dropping firmino. Then starting 11. Jesus dropped. Then bringing in Fred as cdm vs croatia. Fabinho on bench.
