What Do You Think About Brazil's Elimination?

[Miguelpaniura0893]

brazil lost because they already saw themselves as champions, already believing themselves to be winners and not going from game to game and never thinking that the rival also plays, I am also sure that they did not think they would reach penalties against Croatia, a pity for such a good litter that this team had, but hopefully not The arrogant Argentines win because it will be the worst thing that can happen to such a beautiful sport, both its players, the press and its own fans are the worst in the world in terms of football, let's go france.

I think the Brazilians underestimated Croatia. They have already seen themselves in the final, considering Croatia easy prey.
This could be supported by the Brazilian coach's statement to a journalist's question about the way Brazil played, where he blames the journalists for the lost match and cries that the Croats had only one shot on goal.
Quote: "We are poorly organized??? You are the reason, media. You always have your own analysis. We have good attackers, we try to keep control, There were players who were supposed to prevent Croatia's counter attack... We wanted to close the central part, follow their midfield. They had one shot on goal. Only one."

That is not what he said. Very poorly translated. He was not blaming the media. He was simply disagreeing with the reporter about the team being "disorganised" during Croatia's goal.

Q: "Can you explain why the team was so disorganised during the Croatia's goal when there were 4 minutes left and Brazil was ahead?"
A: "Disorganised" Those are your words. Not mine. Don't agree with that at all. First of all we were the ones attacking, after we lost possesion we were able to control the midfield but they were able to find an open player and unfortunatelly the ball deflected and they scored

I am going to give my opinion as an Argentine and a lover, above all, of Neymar.
I think Brazil lost because Brazil always plays like Brazil.
A fierce attack and a weak defense.
They came out champions 5 times playing in the same way.
I also think that coach Tite was very responsible.
It is not possible to remove the starting forward in regular time and put on the substitute forward.
Players of the quality of Vinicius, Richardhison and Raphina must play the entire game, including extra time. They are players who can appear at any time with their magic and unbalance.
Poor Casemiro ran to everyone only in midfield, Lucas Paqueta is not a brand player and I think that having like 4 players up front should have balanced that midfield more. I think the best moment for Brazil in the World Cup was when Bruno Guimaraes entered for Paqueta and the coach never put him on again.
It is very strange that coach Tite has not drawn conclusions from the win against South Korea. The Koreans had 4 heads up that if it weren't for the great goalkeeper Adhilson it would have been another result.
There is no doubt that the game against the great Croatian team was a great game for Brazil, what's more, the Croatian goalkeeper was the figure of the game, taking out 8 clear goal balls.
For me, when they scored the goal from 1 to 0, they fell asleep, and they continued playing in the same way. This happens to me because there was never a defensive order, they did not know how to endure a result.
And I think that the coach did not put a virtue of Brazil, two point markers like Dany Alves or Roberto Carlos. They always played with those big forward markers and this time they didn't. What's more, most of the goals they scored against Brazil were through crosses from the side of the leading markers, which in this case were central markers that became leading markers, they didn't feel the position.
And well, lastly, I love the Brazilian lifestyle, in fact, I have expressed it many times on this site. But I think the celebrations against South Korea seemed excessive, and I'm talking about the celebration of the players. I think that goals are celebrated as a goal as always throughout life and I have seen great Brazilian teams such as the one in 2002 with Ronaldo, Ronaldhino, Rivaldo, Kaka, Roberto Carlos and Cafu who never celebrated such excessive goals. It seemed to me that in this case that the festivities were almost like a mockery but in the end it is my personal opinion.
Finally my great sadness for Neymar. I hope and hopefully he plays in the next World Cup and he can have the opportunity to win it, he is a Lord with all the letters and he deserves it.
My regards, brother

And why do you think is that? Maybe it's thanks to our players. We managed to establish a game on the field that suits us.

I knew even before the match what we had to do to get past Brazil, but honestly I was skeptical that we would succeed for two reasons.
The first reason is that we are no longer as strong as we were 4 years ago in Russia, many players who played in the first lineup said goodbye to the Croatian national team (Rakitić, Mandžukić, Rebić, Vrsaljko, Vida, Strinić...half of the first lineup literally), and the second is that Brazil has a really strong team this year.

Brazil was better in the second half, created more chances, which was to be expected.

I read the comments that Brazil played badly and I can't agree with that. The Brazilian players really wanted to win the World Cup this year and they did their best and were actually good. You played against an opponent who did not allow you to play your game, and that's it. I don't think there are many teams that can do that against Brazil and to my surprise we did it.

Against Serbia and South Korea you showed how good you can play football and it was a real pleasure to watch that art. I wish you better luck in the next World Cup...unless you come across us again

And as for the semi-final duel against Argentina. At the last World Cup in Russia, we beat them 3-0 quite easily, but I will say it again, we are not as strong as we were back than, but I still believe in our victory.

Hello brother.
You're right, Brazil played very well but he didn't know how to defend when he had to.
Croatia is not the 2018 Selection, but it is still an orderly and dangerous selection.
Being an Argentine, I love and sympathize with Croatia because one of my idols was Davor Suker, that Croatia also played very good soccer.
The 3-0 win over argentina in 2018 was in another context. The Argentine team was unarmed, the players did not accept the coach on duty and that's how it went. Not only did Croatia thrash us, but we came back in the round of 16.
I think this will be another game. Argentina came from an unbeaten record of 40 games including the victory against Brazil in the Copa America.
The game against Arabia was a very hard blow for us, but this is a strong group and they knew how to recover.
The match against the netherlands had other seasonings. I think coach Van Gaal unnecessarily warmed up the entire preview with his statements and after losing 2-0 he put player No. 19 to warm up the game to see if it could be tied. In the definition of penalties there are many images that every time an Argentine player was going to kick, 3 or 4 players from the Netherlands would rebuke them.
That is what Van Gaal is, a dictator who never won anything with the Netherlands and thus went back home chewing anger without acknowledging his own mistakes. A character in which players like Modric, Messi, Rivaldo, Ronaldhino, Neymar, or other skilled players would never play in his teams, because he wants Robot players and the players are not robots, some are more skilled players, others less.
I am very surprised by this gentleman who calls himself a coach, because having had players like Neeskens, Cruyff, Reikjard, Gullit, Van Basten, Berkramp and others, gentlemen players with very good standing, their teams play so horribly.
I respect my Croatian brothers a lot, and I hope it will be a very good game. I also have a lot of confidence in our team and I hope the best or the one who does things best wins.
My regards, brother.

Brazilians started celebrating too early. The return goal was scored in a counterattack. no discipline - no result, like in poker

Player of the game: English referee Michael Oliver.

I did not like to see Neymar crying but I did want Brazil to lose... I am usually on the side of the underdog.

my country is not a modric.

I was surprised..

And I was hoping to beat Croatia, but I didn't think I was going through Argentina. So it's better to lose in the quarterfinals to the friendly Croats than to have the trauma of losing to Argentina.
