00:00Good afternoon Mark, good afternoon everyone. We've got a winter warmer on the way.
00:08A small nation with the big hearts and an impressive World Cup record.
00:12Taking on the huge country with rhythm in their feet and an unrivaled World Cup record.
00:21If you like football played with a unique joy you're in the right place. If you like dancing
00:25you're quite possibly in the right place. Or if it's a story of the little guy beating the odds
00:30then stick around too because Croatia have made the improbable happen before.
00:36The national anthems starting with Croatia.
01:30So
01:47so
01:59that one we've become quite familiar with over recent years.
02:02This one has been heard more times at World Cups than any other anthem.
03:47So
04:06every player has their own way of preparing and what a sight to see.
04:12And experienced players like Casimiro and Thiago Silva totally lost in the moment.
04:27Now let's get down to business.
04:33For Croatia it's penalty saving star Dominic Lvovkovic in goal
04:37with a return at left back for Borna Sosa after feeling the effects of illness.
04:41It's Rangers Borna Barisic who drops down. The usual experienced midfield trio with Marcelo
04:46Brozovic the runner-in-chief. Nobody's covered more ground at this tournament. Then it's Mario
04:51Pasulic who's been brought in on the right of attack with Andrej Kramaric playing central.
04:57The idea being that Pasulic should provide a little more assistance tracking back
05:01to deal with the constant menace of Vinicius Junior.
05:06A quarter-final for a referee can be a good sign. Michael Oliver's chances of getting another game
05:10at this World Cup, the game, rather depend on England's result tomorrow.
05:17The Netherlands Paul Van Verkel is the man in charge of the VAR shed.
05:24Brazil are unchanged. Alisson in goal. Eden Militao continues on the right of defense with Danilo on
05:29the left. Alexandro's hip injury has again kept him out of the 11. Casimiro is the one-man
05:35midfield shield helped nominally by Lucas Paquetar. Both have scored in the competition.
05:41Only Rafinha of the front players has yet to net, although he has had more shots in the last
05:46two games. He's not the only one to have been injured.
05:49Rafinha of the front players has yet to net, although he has had more shots and created more chances than
05:54anyone else in the side. And Neymar is one goal away from equaling Pele's record 77 for the
06:02celebrated Celeciao. And we of course join everyone from the world of football and beyond
06:09in wishing the great man continued improvement with his health.
06:12There's today's number 10.
06:23He divides opinion but he is one heck of a footballer.
06:37He's taking a little bit more time than usual to get the pitch adornments
06:40away from the center circle. Now that they are on their way, so will Croatia and Brazil be.
06:48Jermaine Gines is alongside me for this one. Jermaine, we've got a European kind of flair.
06:55Croatia do it their way against Brazil who very much do it their way. Yeah, I can't wait for this
07:02one. I have to say so much talent on display. That team right there playing with such flair.
07:10Such confidence scoring goals at will. On the Croatian side that you feel it is growing into
07:17the competition when it really matters. They know how to get it done however long it takes.
07:25Croatia's goal is to reach a third World Cup semi-final whilst Brazil iron ninth. And to do
07:32that they have to stop a run of five successive defeats to European opposition in World Cup
07:37knockout games. The last time it was to Belgium at this same quarter-final stage.
07:49The ultimate goal is the Hexer, a sixth World Cup win.
07:54Santiago Silva and Marquinhos, a defendable duo in the heart of the back line.
08:14Here's Richarlison who lost the ball momentarily trying to snatch it back.
08:30Croatia throw watched intently by coach Slatko Dalic.
08:35He's rather summed up neatly the size of their task tonight.
08:40The very populations of countries four million to around about 217 he said
08:47we're a bit like a suburb in a city in Brazil.
08:55I'm sure we will see at some point tonight Chita is dancing whether you approve or not.
09:10So
09:17Tiago Silva
09:22Danilo in a hurry by Pashalic.
09:26Pachita has lost the ball to Kovacic. The driving run of the Chelsea man is brought to a crashing
09:41end. Yeah it's really good though from Croatia quite happy to press high up the pitch just
09:47waiting for that moment where there's a bit of a loose touch or a loose patch and it was
09:51Kovacic that pounced on it really good at dribbling with the ball wins his side a free kick.
09:59Taken by Drozdic.
10:05Here's Uranovic of Celtic.
10:21Uranovic is in support.
10:26Lovren uses him now.
10:30Modric.
10:33He claimed Richarlison the challenge and Modric was already committed to raising his leg high.
10:40Didn't really see the best of Luka Modric in the round of 16 the penalties win against Japan.
10:44No he wasn't but you get the feeling that for Croatia to do anything he'll have to be at it
10:51tonight and he'll really enjoy that battle against his old mate as well Casemiro.
10:58It's going to be a fascinating watch.
11:01Two of the band are back together. Toni Kroos watching on from Germany.
11:06Dionysius Junior.
11:11Danilo.
11:15Great Real Madrid midfield that won Champions League after Champions League.
11:21Casemiro ended that connection when he joined Manchester United earlier this year.
11:29Dionysius Junior again giving time to receive and to have another go which he does.
11:37Watched all the way by Lovarkovic.
11:40Yeah easy enough for Lovarkovic to save.
11:43Just kind of opened up for him asking for a shot didn't quite get hold of it.
11:49It's the side top.
11:52Goalkeeper's been grabbing the headlines in Croatia.
11:56He saved three of Japan's four penalties in the shootout last round.
12:03Too much on that Dionysius Junior never getting to Rafinha's pass.
12:10I don't know what Dejan Lovren was thinking with that ball there into Kovacic.
12:15Gonna have to take much more care with balls into midfield as Brazil's side
12:20are brilliant at winning the ball back and when they do they can be devastating on the counter.
12:28Misulic has asked to jump for it. Tiago Silva won it.
12:31Modric battles on to good effect. Modric joined in too.
12:47Sosa.
12:52Nicely cut out.
12:52Modric. Pasulic had started to come in from the right and vacated the spot where the ball is now gone.
13:17Most of the noise around the Education City Stadium is as you'd fully expect
13:22in favor of Brazil.
13:31Croatia have had a nice amount of possession so far. Yeah they started the game really well.
13:36They've been brave. A lot of people may have thought that they've dropped off, protected the
13:41spaces in behind but they're engaging with Brazil high up the pitch not making life comfortable for
13:47them.
13:52Happy to turn.
13:55Still wearing the protective face mask. He picked up an injury just before the tournament
13:59collision with his Leipzig teammate the Hungarian defender Vili Orban.
14:04In the games that I've watched he's been their best player. Garvey Dolg. Real talent.
14:09It was a late jump.
14:25It's gonna be a big plus for Brazil that because Perisic is really strong in the air
14:30when essentially Brazil are playing a center half at right back.
14:34Strong in the air, great head of that.
14:35Militao winning the duel, getting the decision.
14:42Saw how good Perisic is in the air. Got a reminder of it with his headed equalizer against Japan.
14:49Beautifully placed that was. Yeah and it is one of their route to goal.
14:54Balls to the back post. You can see this Bahlum,
14:57Rafinha. It's a cross from Dejan Lovren wasn't it as well? He appeared on the right wing.
15:02I mean he headed it. It's on the edge of the box almost. It's a great header.
15:14Neymar. First time he's been able to get himself into the game and it didn't last long.
15:18Juranovic. Modric. Misplaced. Slightly miscontrolled too.
15:34But Raphinha has got a free kick.
15:37So
15:51Rafinha robbed.
15:56Modric.
16:00Perisic.
16:00Looking for Pasielic.
16:09The Croatia have lacked in this tournament. Real presence in the penalty area.
16:14Never really properly replaced Mario Mandzukic to date.
16:21Yeah you can even see when Perisic is making those runs.
16:26That threat's not there at the top end of the pitch. All
16:29the other facets of the game, defence, midfield initially has looked really strong tonight.
16:38Danilo.
16:46Neymar. Vinicius Junior lining it up. Took the other option that time. Pakita.
16:56Raphinha. It did go out. Yeah it did. It just goes out but that attack from Raphinha,
17:06the second phase of it, all comes from Casemiro and his positioning. They win the ball Croatia
17:11and he's on you straight away. Winning the ball back, allowing you to have that second attack.
17:25Saw this a lot from Croatia against Japan in the last game.
17:29Two on hand for the short pass from Livakovic but nine times out of ten he doesn't use them.
17:44Danilo.
17:48Pressure from Uranovic on Vinicius Junior.
17:51It's Thiago Silva and Marquinhos looking for Neymar. Finding Neymar who thought Vinicius
18:00Junior was with him. He wasn't and Neymar was offside as flagged by Gary Bezic.
18:06It's actually deputizing tonight for Simon Bennett who was on Michael Oliver's refereeing team but
18:13he's been unfortunately ruled out of the game with a minor injury.
18:17Hurts even for officials to miss the big ones.
18:21So
18:37Danilo
18:45Neymar
18:55going for Croatia. There's three times he's had the ball Neymar. He's lost it every single time.
19:03The eyes of Pasulic were not trained to the feet trying to deceive him. Only ever on the ball.
19:12All sounds easy now. Not quite as simple a practice.
19:20Lovren. Uranovic.
19:25Uranovic is getting up a good head of steam here. Pasulic. It's a really dangerous ball.
19:33Two had a chance. Uranovic was the first in line and Perisic came in behind him and neither could
19:39make proper contact. Well it's brilliant from Uranovic driving from right back. Just making
19:45things happen. He just he lashes at this. He could guide it. Try and get his side foot onto it. He
19:51does everything right. The ball is brilliant but that part there just a bit of composure. Get good
19:56contact on the ball. But more good signs though from Croatia. Brazil not started this game well.
20:04Ivan Perisic applauds. The ball in from Pasulic and also the drive of Josef Uranovic that set it all up.
20:12He's had a good tournament the Celtic fullback.
20:18But he's dealing with Vinicius Junior and Neymar really down his right hand side.
20:24And at the minute he's getting the better of that battle. It's a really tricky one for him
20:29this evening. This is tricky for Brazil.
20:34Alisson and Eder Milita with the passing of one another. Croatia corner and Croatia
20:41as of this moment 13 minutes into the contest are on top.
20:47Well it's an experienced outfit that Brazil are dealing with here. You know I mentioned at the start
20:53you can feel with these types of teams they grow into the tournament they get better and better.
20:58Comfortable header out.
21:14Boris Alisson
21:24Perisic will be beaten to it
21:27Marquinhos
21:28Has everything under control and Alisson goes quickly out to the feet of Casimiro who wasn't quick enough
21:34Modric was there
21:36Modric has a lot to think about here. It's the right choice to chip in nobody there, though
21:45Kicked in by Neymar and now it's Brazil's ball
21:51Just need to wake up and approach his game far too casually it's brilliant for Modric again just
21:58Catching his mate, run away, Casimiro there thinking he's got way too much time on the ball just creeps up on the blind side
22:07It's a lovely ball into the box and Militao is not going to be saying that a lot today
22:14Marquinhos
22:26Danilo
22:36Thiago Silva
22:45It's Paquita actually nudge back to Rafinha
22:54A little bit more urgency in Brazil's play, yeah, too much there
23:06They'll be fine they'll settle down
23:08too many good players not to
23:11A few conversations going on Neymar asking his teammates to settle down pass the ball around keep it
23:22Markovic and to Uranovic
23:26Vršilić
23:29It's Kramaric once unsuccessfully of Leicester City
23:36Successful for Hoffenheim ever since
23:39To the tune of a hundred and six goals for the club
23:52Does this a lot Danilo watch them against South Korea this goes into almost a deep line midfielder position
24:03Just help start the attack
24:06It's very Manchester City like yeah, although he wasn't doing that during his time at the Etihad
24:1560 appearances in two years
24:19Vinicius jr. And now Neymar
24:24Quickly in Croatia, they're not standing off
24:28Which they did a little bit against Japan there's Neymar
24:36What worked for him yet Kramaric
24:41Brozovic and Guardiola
24:43Neymar
25:01Vinicius jr. Standing off now for Uranovic
25:09It's Paquita
25:14Good work by Borna Sosa
25:17Watched by pretty much all the high and mighty in Europe
25:22No, we delighted to have him back today
25:28Charleston dispossessed
25:32Brozovic and Kovacic getting through their usual high levels of work now Modric
25:37Pashulich
25:40Pashulich Uranovic, it's got the Pistons pumping down the right
25:55Watched towards goal
25:58Successfully hit though
26:00They seem to be finding it really easy Croatia to play through the lines
26:06Whenever Brazil go impressed is always one midfielder on that occasion
26:10It was moderates just kind of cheating in behind them as almost a spare man the release pass
26:19Pursued by Vinicius jr
26:22Pursued by Vinicius jr
26:27That Croatian midfield definitely winning that battle at the minute much more of the possession in there
26:32Kovacic
26:34beat a Demi Lata
26:40What's the Croatian idea
26:42Great Svonimir Boban was talking about
26:45how he thought his country would set up for this one and he said
26:48Brazil have too few defensive players in the middle
26:51We should look for our chance there
26:54Make them work wide. It's true. Does Neymar just he basically does what he wants?
26:59Paquita is a little bit higher up as well. Essentially Casimiro
27:04he's trying to run things on his own in there the Nilo goes inside to try and help him as well, but
27:10Catch him out sometimes as Vinicius jr
27:19Nicely worked
27:21Good blocking
27:25He again, it's Brazil's most dangerous player
27:31Neymar wants to be
27:33Neymar goes in to dig out a shot, but it was as much of a pass
27:38Into the gloves of Lidarkovic. Well, they've just got so much talent
27:43So many people to choose from when it comes to opening the door on this occasion Vinicius jr
27:48just
27:50Driving inside you're on a beach. It's a little one-two area for Charleston who posts up nicely feeds it back to him
27:55Just don't think he gets the contact
27:57Garbineau does really well. It's like he knows exactly where he wants to put it just blocks the line to the back post
28:04Brazil have gone up a gear Neymar missed out the gear
28:11And for 35th name I was telling him you should have took a touch rather than let it run across your body
28:18Control it there. I don't think he could get his foot out in time
28:26That's how it is with this Brazil team that's how it's been with many Brazil teams over the years not looking particularly
28:34Great or on top in the game, but then they just click and as you've said Jermaine talent takes over
28:39Yeah
28:39And also essentially when you kind of break it down you look at the top end of the pitch for Brazil
28:44in comparison to what Croatia have in Croatia
28:47It's just gonna be difficult for them to score
28:49They don't have anywhere near the ability or the creativity that this Brazil team have it's just about
28:54Brazil switching on and getting into that mode
28:57This is where Croatia's work will be done. Yeah
29:01They can frustrate them. They can keep the ball
29:05It's scoring a goal for them is just it's been difficult throughout the whole tournament
29:10So
29:13We're used to being frustrated in the group stage it took them until 62 minutes to score against Serbia
29:1983 against Switzerland just don't quite know what South Korea were thinking in the last match
29:26For now inside 36 minutes
29:29We gushed about Brazil's playing rightly so it was a joy to watch South Korea did make it a little more straightforward
29:35Yeah, they were wide open to at the back at times and stuff. It was it was ridiculous
29:39This is a completely different outfit that Brazil are facing. They've got more than enough ability to break it down, but
29:45Strong back for midfield dropping into a back five leaving one up top a midfield that can keep the ball. Well
29:52Strong back for midfield dropping into a back five leaving one up top a midfield that can keep the ball. Well
30:00Guitar it's well over Rafinha could have been left Lovren decided he couldn't
30:06That was Casimiro and it was deflected and it will be a Brazil corner and Brazil look as though they're coming
30:13No, I'm not insane. I didn't hear a shout
30:15We had all the time in the world
30:18keeper
30:19Kovach
30:31Rafinha in the corner
30:39All the short run
30:43Freaking for Croatia
30:45Guitar who'd made that dart out was guilty of the foul on Modric
31:02Lovren
31:07It's trying to time his run from Richard set off down the middle of it soon his passion
31:16Oh
31:19Brozovich
31:29Butchage keep this balance you're out of it
31:39It probably was found the cards out already
31:45It's
31:47Definitely dangerous play
31:49Uranovic always a willing runner down that right-hand side lunges. I mean, that's it's really dangerous play. I
31:58Think what saves him is he wins the ball first
32:02If he doesn't he's back in trouble there Danilo it's just explained what he was trying to do to the player on the end of
32:09it
32:10didn't really catch you out of it, thankfully, but
32:15Stuart Burt was in the right position with his flag to see the incident and Michael Oliver wasn't far behind it
32:20No, the whole Croatian bench
32:22came out to put pressure on the
32:24fourth official but
32:26It's a yellow card
32:29Chance possibly for Croatia
32:35It was a chance when he's delivering
32:38You
32:41Seven years young Luka Modric player of the tournament the golden ball of the last World Cup hit the heights of this one yet
32:57Succeed further in that aim with a free kick now
32:59I
33:03Want to start to the quarterfinals Brazil first up and then later on this evening for you
33:10Memories of Dennis Bergkamp memories of great World Cup battles past
33:15Netherlands against Argentina live on BBC one from 630 p.m
33:22I've got a special one. It was lucky enough to be in the stadium in Marseille for the show
33:30Only just left school obviously
33:45What a goal one of the greats of World Cup history
33:55This is you new
33:59Brosevich
34:08Danilo battling he's got to be careful with that battling
34:14It's like a Dalit to the coach of Croatia with arms outstretched
34:21Don't anything wrong with that Michael Oliver doing the right thing that's letting it play out
34:29I
34:32Name up
34:36Into a cul-de-sac
34:38a lot
34:40Neymar just doesn't seem to be able to find
34:43the space that he needs to operate
34:53She has some words of advice to those close to him
35:00Barkers in the direction of Marquinhos
35:10Brosevich free-kick given
35:17Oliver will not be argued with its cover chitches wanting a word and Neymar
35:23the little chunter to
35:26Cover chitches got a bit of a shiner though. We're told that's because of an injury. He sustained in the gym the other day
35:32I know little of such things
35:39Just a little bump on the shoulder of Vinicius jr. Which said it flying
35:56You're standing off behind the defensive line Neymar chips it to the far end
36:05With my cardio
36:16It's Paquita wins it back for Brazil Casimiro, this is the West Ham man again and his Rafinha
36:26A
36:31Bit of a wonder from left to right that's a good ball in
36:36Flick does not hurt Croatia though
36:41Modric
36:44It's space to gallop down the right again, it's got the chance to feed it all the way over the other side which is done
36:55Perisic
37:01He's got that
37:03You have to say you're any rich down this right hand side has been brilliant
37:06He's had a great half an hour when a Croatian shirt lovely ball switched across and I
37:12Think when he cuts it onto his right foot the options are limited really
37:17Nothing wrong with having a strike on goal there
37:25You
37:51You're gonna have these moments your name up
37:54It's got so much skin just pops it through his legs
38:02Lovren was there covering there was no need you don't have in a yellow card having to deal with
38:06Neymar for the rest of the night
38:11Spurs colleagues Perisic
38:15Charleston in dialogue here
38:24It's confirmation of Brzozowicz's card
38:29So they've wasted it Sosa it's it up to Kramaric
38:34Perisic
38:37Plenty straight against teammate Sosa
38:41Hasn't been able to get forward down the left as you're out of it has on the right
38:46If he does Sosa does have a wicked left football in
38:51He's now
38:54He was bundled to the floor three kick for Croatia
39:00Called the left-footed Beckham was born a saucer of Stuttgart in the Bundesliga
39:10He'd taken under the wing of Luka Modric holidays with his family good to choose your friends carefully
39:24You're on a bitch
39:32Of itch it's gonna swing towards Allison rather than Perisic
39:39Athenia
39:45Towards Roshan listen easily won by Guardiola
39:54I'm not a side to lack confidence and it's flowing through them here. I shall it's to your out of itch
40:11Brazil's biggest concern would be that this midfield moderation particular starting to have a growing influence on this game
40:20Charleston
40:24I'm sure that's not able to really have any sustained possession
40:31You're out of itch I've made an early decision to come and get that he was never getting there
40:40This is more like moderate isn't it it is yeah
40:43This is what he does little five ten-yard passes just it takes the tempo of the game
40:49We feel it's all three of them brought a vision competition as well play the walk play their role
40:53I
40:56Listen to that
40:59drums
41:02For a moment by Croatian voices
41:07A few cheers from primarily locals who are supporting Brazil because they want to see them on the ball and they can't get it often enough
41:19Credit to Croatia
41:24I
41:26Rosevich
41:29Something in the water in the Adriatic tiny country really in the great scheme of the football world and yet
41:35What is that produced over the last two or three decades?
41:38It's
41:48Modric for Sosa left just didn't consider it an option. It is brilliant to see
41:59It's a play of a couple of them
42:02The moderates been one with a couple that have retired from that Croatian side
42:07all very good footballers
42:09Very intelligent know the game inside out
42:17Wonderful film released this year crew Croatia defining a nation
42:21It's headed away from Richarlison
42:24Uralovic has to be careful, but this issue you're behind
42:27The story of how football helped to build the country in the wake of civil war looking back at 1998
42:35Run to the semi-finals first World Cup 2018
42:39runners up to France
42:41One of the younger players were encouraged to watch it to know their history know the badge and the flag that they're representing
42:57Oh
43:04It's Danilo
43:08Charleston we can't get through Lovren
43:12Uranovic
43:16Wanted for a moment and actually felt moderate in doing that Brazil have got a world of all into wider areas
43:22Everything through the middle for a sure settle and they're on them in a flash. I've seen enough of profania
43:30Vinicius jr. Not seen enough of him either. I think if you can get those wide in 1v1
43:35Positions things will start to open up for them
43:44Kovacic
43:46Got that touch looked as though it was presenting Richarlison with a chance of a run down the right
43:58Kovacic and Modric incidentally
44:03Coming into this game
44:06They're welcome to
44:08Brazil a Demi Latao of the starters
44:16I
44:29Get us kind of run out of ideas and options. He's waiting for someone just a
44:35post up on the edge of that box
44:37Brazil friends still continue to support
44:39push on their side
44:42as always
44:46Oh
45:09Good improvisation as cool as you like
45:17I
45:19Shall inch behind Modric
45:23They can't get near this midfield I'll get anywhere near it
45:27Like this is the issue when you have name on packets are in there very flamboyant great players, but
45:35You've only got Casemiro really to do that go we need the ball back
45:39This is junior has been overtaken by your an image. He has been incredible. What's a game?
45:47Something you see very often
46:04No, yes too soon, that's not all
46:17It into Danilo
46:28Kenya's
46:34They mark
46:38One back again
46:40Time coverage
46:43Passionate
46:46I
46:52Name up
46:55Casimiro his Lucas pockets are
46:58Now a Demi Latao
47:00The thing is though it's it's tiring doing the running around but it
47:04Must be tiring in the mind too for the Croatian players because they know
47:08Why don't you take two flicks three tricks and Brazil are in?
47:12That's
47:14That's why your
47:16Organization is really important. That's what they're doing really well Croatia
47:19The lines between the the back for the midfield is so tight that there's not much space
47:25So Brazil to operate as you saw then when Neymar whips that ball into a feenya
47:30Competition straight on you. It's because they're really together as a side
47:34So it's why Brazil need to kind of work it wider and try and isolate one of these fullbacks on their own
47:42Name up
47:47Ashley stood his duty switched on in time to do it again
47:54Vinicius jr. The point of Brosevich. He's on the yellow already
48:02Really good for Vinicius jr. Though
48:06Just fighting keeping it alive
48:09Oh
48:14Just a foul
48:19Sometimes with Brazil, it's not just a free kick
48:32Rafinha
48:38Builds a wall of to make sure you can get a good site just in case the fort is there
48:46The thought will be there I will definitely be there it's purely simply because they've not had much joy shots on target
48:54Even on goal in this half. Are you thinking about it?
49:01It's gonna be Neymar
49:03Took a little touch of it off the center of that wall and Livakovich was more than ready for it
49:10Maybe they needed a Roberto Carlos special from years gone by
49:16Simply enough as you said, it's a slight deflection off the wall there. It's just a prose of each
49:33Which to Sosa back with Guardiola
49:43Uranovich
49:47Over it passionately running and overtaken why didn't it low? What's it on that for?
49:55No, the Kramer it was there
50:03Thing about Croatia, you think you can press them, but they all complain they all want the ball
50:11Themselves out of pressed in Brazil. We're trying to put on to them
50:18Possession in a really nice position of the pitch been doing the whole game really much better than Brazil have done it
50:25Audrey lovely touch Sosa
50:29That's wasn't quite waited to perfection
50:34Defending from Tiago Silva, not only getting there but preventing the corner, too
50:41Referee has stopped the play just as you're on a pitch was ready for another raid and it's because Lucas Paquita was holding his left ankle
50:50Now it stopped is not
51:04It's not a foul, so I'm not sure why he stopped the game
51:13Likely to be serious injury
51:21Tiago Silva keeping it in despite a little push in the back
51:24You
51:28Eight-year-old will take some replacing by Chelsea
51:32Kramer itch
51:33Force wide and it was
51:35Who was there? He didn't have to be the flag is up for offside
51:39Actually, one of those reported to be in the mix to possibly take over one day is Josco Guardiola playing in the other defense tonight
51:48This man's pass here as well
51:50he has just drifted offside their Kramer each but
51:55Good line from Brazil
52:21One by Guadalupe
52:25A minute to go through that middle the pass isn't crisp and if it's not accurate
52:31It's just too tight for them to
52:34to play through
52:38Just the one minute of additional time I think the Brazil manager today he's got he's got a decision to make in that midfield
52:46It feels like he even needs to grab pockets are and drag him a little bit deeper next to Casemiro
52:52Or he needs to get another midfielder in there, it's not going to take name are off that
52:57What it was going to get back now having given it away
53:02Samara's done the same
53:04Miss you Radovich counting down to halftime
53:11Modric you're out of it still there
53:16Paschal itch offside
53:19I'm probably just about do it for the half. It's not fizzed along, but I've found it fascinating. Yeah, it's poised
53:26And you can understand why there's such a standoff, but it as it stands right now
53:31Croatia's
53:32Style of play a way of playing is getting the better of the game
53:40Seven of Croatia's last eight knockout games at the World Cup and Euros have gone to extra time
53:46And when they do
53:47They usually prevail Brazil have got to do quite a bit more
53:51Croatia are doing just fine
53:53Halftime, it's Croatia nil Brazil nil
