You can suck us Croatian hard cock Brasil is an average team. Midfield with Casemiro and Paaeta and Neymar, what a joke. Brazil has never had a worse midfield. All Brazil's chances came from bouncing the ball off Croatian defenders. They didn't create a real chance except for the goal in overtime. As I said, they will have problems when they meet a real technically strong team like Croatia. Where all 26 players know how to play football. In contrast to the poor midfield of Serbia, Switzerland, Cameroon and South Korea. For the entire first half, we easily held possession, avoiding their pressure. We made those clowns run without the ball. In a very slow rhythm. They couldn't do anything to us. The only thing we lack is that we don't have a quality striker. If we had Mandzukic, Suker or Boksic. Brasil would get three goals from us. Because our attackers were weak in attacking the depth and instead pulled out to the side.

Hey buddy, are you gonna talk about Morocco 🇲🇦 and what they’re doing?

Dalic deserved 9. His strategy was spot on. Players from the bench bring Croatian sinking ship back to the surface. His choice of players for the penalties were right.
Croatia started in group F, the only group that put on 2 teams to semifinals. Croatia and Marocco had only 2% chances to win the WC before it started. I wish we see them both in final.

To start with, you forgot a main FACT…Croatia had 51% of possession and took it away from Brazil who was expected to dominate in exactly that parameter. Secondly stats are just a bit of guide what's actually going on. Brazil had way more shots but Croatia had more situation that were step to lethal than jus 1 shot on target. Pasalic 100% chance was millimeters from scoring. Those 2 stolen balls on high pressure were more promising than half of Brazil shots and if Croatia attacking line was just a shadow of their midfield or defensive lines they would have crushed Brazil. Once again Croatia had 51% of the ball and Brazil couldn't dictate the tempo of the game. When Brazil scored Croatia went all in with 4 attackers and its not surprising Brazil pulled way back. One of their rare attacking attempts was punished with a counter immediately.

If Tite is 6, Dalic is at least an 8 – cause you forgot the attacker – Kramaric applying targeted pressure on the centerbacks only on one side – so to funnel most of Brasil's balls towards their right side – rather then towards Vinicious. Most of Brasil's chances did not come from clear play but rather an odd deflection of the ball. This no manager can't control. It's often up to luck. And you also forget possession football targeted to disrupt Brasil's rythm. A great game plan. Tite was abysmal with his changes, and having half of his team on attack with 1:0 up, and 3 minutes to go. Hence Tite – 5, Dalić – 8.

Modern football intelligence at its finest. The era of attacking football style on one side and defending on the other is over.

Brasil is just full of hot-headed young players and each of them thinks he's star just because of transfer market price. It means nothing and experienced players as Thiago Silva and Dani Alves understands that. To be worse, media put them as favourites of the tournament just because of that. What a mistake and extra pressure… It's a shame they were giving only 15% for Croatia to pass in semi finals and it's an insult for anyone who understand a bit of football.

As a Croatian, I was disappointed for another extra time and penalties, cause we didn't take advantage of the chances we had until the approx 70 minutes when we lost ability to control the game.

Dalić's leadership and confidence he's putting in players, his methodology and football philosophy is full of integrity and even those on bench recognised that.

Ainda não entendi porque tirar o vini pra colocar o rodrygo, mas acho que os pontas não estavam jogando por falta da bola chegar neles, mexer no meio de campo ou colocar laterais mais ofensivos parecia necessário ao invés de trocar o ataque, porque a superioridade do meio croata era absoluta. Ainda assim, a marcação da croácia correu muito, foi impressionante o fôlego desses croatas, mas não era insuperável. TIte tentou algo novo nessa partida muito equivocadamente.

Only thing Dalic could have don better is to make substitutions a bit earlier, as croatia was more tired due to overtime vs japan and exhausting game against belgium before that, while brasil rested the whole team in the third group match. That started to take toll around 60th minute and he made first changes in 72. This could have been a fatal mistake. But his response in the overtime was excellent, even though brasil scored, coratia have already begun looking much better, and after the goal and the new substitutions it was even better. Now croatia played with Perisic as a left back, orsic as a left winger, Budimir and Petkovic as two strikers, Vlasic as right wing (Him and petkovic also helping the midfield two now, only modric and majer were left in the middle). They made brazil retreat deep in their own half, which only shows how good croatia played in that period. And that's what they should've kept doing, because as soon as brazil decided to try to attack again, croatia hit them with a counter attack and scored.

This wouldve been so much better without the hand

The entire problem was Tite. Croatia prefered to play SLOW GAME and Tite played FAST GAME THAT CAN NEVER WORK OUT.

Tite lose with Belgium in 2018, Argentina in 2021, Cameroon in 2022, and Croatia in 2022 WHILE HE PLAY FAST GAME in THE SAME WAY. He didn't learn from his mistakes again and again. He has no STRATEGIES TO BEAT Teams that SLOWS DOWN his effectiveness.

The BEST STRATEGY FOR TITE to play WAS DRIBBLING. However, including the defences they didnt dribble any balls.

Why is dribbling important for BRAZIL?
1- The opponent team will get cards so that the aggressiveness slow down.
2- high possibility of getting penalities
3-maximize goal scores

Once Brazil scores a goal the strategy of Croatia will be desolved.

If I WERE TITE, I WOULD HAVE BEATEN CROATIA using

Alisson
Alves Marqinihos Militao Telles
Rafiniha Casemiro Vincius
Neymar Martinelli

I will NEVER substite Vincius
I will never play Paqueta, Danilo

Substitutes:
Antony, Richarlison, Tiago

I love the energy of my Croatian team, they are like b£@st on the field, the could run 3hrs n never run out of stamina 💪💪💪I'm hoping they will go all the way n their captain is well deserving of it🇭🇷 of 🏆

Totally accurate, Dalic sarcastically said in an interview after the game that they let the full backs and Danilo to keep the ball, implying that they're pretty much useless and not creative.
