Fair play to Croatia, they stuck at it and scored a fine goal themselves. Biggest issue today was that Brazil didn't or couldn't impose their supposed superiority upon the opponents.

Croatia are technically fantastic, add to that battle hardened experience and a great team spirit then you have a formidable opponent.

Well they were as they lost Brozovic was a red card waiting to happen, have players take him on Croatia keeper has a good game and penalties are always a lottery But Brazil could have put it all to bed earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I’m being a little bit facetious. I don’t profess to be a scholar of the international game and I really couldn’t tell you too much about Tite. I actually agree with you, penalty misses and good keeping are out of a managers control. But as said above if he’s as good as some say he is, finding a way past the quarters and finding the tactics/combinations to beat Croatia will be the very least the Brazil public will be criticising him for.

Same as England and Southgate in fairness. I've no idea how good he is- didn't know who he was before the tournament started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, don't gamble so not interested in that side of things Just saying in response to your comment that Brazil manager can't help missed penalties, that he could have finished the game off from the position they were in Which prior was your response to him maybe not being a master tactician Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, there's some science/probability behind havig your best penalty takers take 1-3-5.
