World Cup Quarterfinals Analysis: Croatia vs Brazil
On December 9, Croatia will take on Brazil in a quarterfinal match at the 2022 World Cup. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 10 a.m. New York time and will be held at Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Doha. Let’s take a look at the paths these teams took to reach this point in the tournament, the keys to victory for each team and what is at stake in this match.
How Did We Get Here?
Croatia advanced to the knockout portion of the tournament after finishing second in its group with five standings points. In the first knockout game, the team defeated Japan 3-1 in a penalty shootout thanks to goalkeeper Dominik Livaković‘s (Dinamo Zagreb) heroic saves.
Brazil advanced to the knockout stage after topping its group with six standings points. In the first round of the knockout phase, Brazil easily dispatched South Korea 4-1 before halftime. Vinicius Junior opened the scoring in the seventh minute while Neymar scored in the 13th minute to put the game away in the first half.
The Keys to Victory
As a general rule, the easiest way to stop a powerful offense is to keep it off of the field. In soccer, the easiest way to stop a powerful offense is to possess the ball as much as possible. By grinding the game to a halt, Croatia may cause Brazil to get frustrated and start pressing. This could result in a critical mistake that allows Croatia to score a goal. If the game goes to extra time, the odds favor Croatia.
For Brazil, the key to victory is to simply keep playing their style of football. Vinicius Junior and Neymar are two of the best footballers in the world right now, and they’re joined by Richarlison (Tottenham Hotspur) and Lucas Paquetá (West Ham United) (who both also scored against the Koreans) and Raphinha (Barcelona). It’s not impossible to think that Seleção Canarinho will win this game simply by overwhelming the Croatian side with style and flair.
This will be the third time that the two countries will play each other at the World Cup. The two previous matches were both wins by Brazil during group play at the 2006 and 2014 events. Croatia’s best result against Brazil was a 1-1 draw during a friendly match that took place in Split in August 2005.
What’s at Stake?
The winning side will play either the Netherlands or Messi-led Argentina in the semifinals. If Brazil wins, it will mark just the second time since winning the World Cup in 2002 that the country made it past the quarterfinal round. For Croatia, a victory will mark its second straight trip to the semifinal round. In 2018, the team made it to the finals where it ended up runners-up to France 4-2.
This is likely Croatian captain Luka Modrić’s (Real Madrid) last try for a World Cup. On the Brazilian side, Neymar is about to overtake Pele’s record (77) for all-time men’s leading scorer for the Brazilian National Team. This will be at least the second record held by the Brazilian soccer legend broken at this World Cup — a couple days ago, Kylian Mbappé of France flew past Pele’s record of 7 World Cup goals scored before the age of 24.
Wrapping Up
The Quarterfinals mean that just 8 teams are left in the World Cup. Brazil may be #1 according to FIFA, but scrappy Croatia (#12) showed in Russia 2018 that ranking doesn’t always matter. This contest should be a real barn burner — make sure to catch it live!
To watch the Qatar 2022 Quarter Finals, we recommend FuboTV. But Sling TV is great for those on a budget.
