The FIFA World Cup is in the quarter-finals, and the matches are getting extremely exciting again. After the lackluster group stage, the 1/8 brought us some of the most memorable fights, as well as some of the most brutal displays of football. Here’s hoping this will continue in the quarter-finals. And how could it not, if the first match is Croatia taking on Brazil?!

Both teams have had quite the World Cup to get here. Brazil took a while to warm up in the group stage, but it more than made up for it in the knockout phase, where Brazil destroyed South Korea 4:1 within the first 36 minutes of the match.

Croatia, on the other hand, had a tougher go at the World Cup. The team has tied against both Morocco and Canada (0:0) and won its match against Canada 4:1. But the toughest match Croatia had to face yet was the heartfelt knockout match against Japan that the team only won on penalties. And Brazil seems to be the toughest opponent Croatia has to face yet.

All in all, things are not looking too good for Croatia. However, it has also long since established itself as a strong football team, so you never know… What we do know is that with the stakes being this high, every team will give it their all. And you just can’t miss these matches!
