Croatia vs Brazil preview
Croatian hopes of giving icon Luka Modric the dream international send-off are still alive, just. The Vatreni were lackluster in the last 16 against Japan and were fortunate to survive a penalty shoot-out after failing to lead for any of the 120 minutes. Ivan Perisic’s second-half header saw him become his country’s all-time top scorer in major tournaments and was his sixth on football’s biggest stage (level with the great Davor Suker). Against the mighty Brazil, Zlatko Dalic will need his side to play with much more energy, a big ask for one of the oldest squads left in the competition. The creators of samba football clearly brought their dancing shoes and even Brazil coach Tite couldn’t help joining in the party atmosphere as his side recorded an impressive 4-1 victory over South Korea. As well as goals for Vinicius Jr and another for Richarlison, Brazil fans would have been delighted to see their biggest star, Neymar, mark his return from injury with a strike from the penalty spot. This is arguably his last World Cup at his peak and millions will want to see him emulate Pele and win the trophy at least once. This is a side with top-quality players in every position from Neymar up front to Alisson in goal. At the quarter-final stage, every team left in the competition will have ambitions of lifting the World Cup. Some of the biggest name players in the world will be lining up on each side and we could see some silky skills on show. With the potential to be a classic, you would kick yourself for missing the Croatia vs Brazil live stream.
Croatia vs Brazil team news
As we get deeper into the tournament injuries usually start to add up, but for Croatia that is not the case. Fullback Borna Sosa sat out the clash with Japan with illness but he returns to stake his claim on the left back position against Brazil. The only other change from the team that beat Japan on penalties is Mario Pasalic, who replaces Bruno Petkovic in midfield. Brazil and Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus is injured for the rest of the tournament as is Man Utd defender Alex Telles, so naturally neither is involved today. On his return from injury, Neymar didn’t complete the full 90 minutes against South Korea but is fit to start again for this match. In fact, manager Tite has opted for the same starting XI that brushed aside South Korea in the round of 16. This is hardly a shock considering how thoroughly Brazil dominated that game. Here’s how they line up: Croatia: Livakovic, Juranovic, Lovren, Gvardiol, Sosa, Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic, Pasalic, Kramaric, Perisic. Brazil: Alisson, Militao, Marquinhos, Silva, Danilo, Paqueta, Casemiro, Raphinha, Vinicius, Neymar, Richarlison.
