Neymar Back With The Dance! As Brazil Progress To Quarter Finals

Brazil defeated south Korea 4-1 at stadium 974 in Doha to book their place at the quarter finals.


The selecao displayed their dominance on the Koreans on the night that saw their star Neymar Jr return to the team.

Vinicius Junior opened the scoring with their first shot on target before Neymar marked his return to action with a penalty.

Richarlison had won that spot-kick and it was he who effectively ended the game as a meaningful contest, coolly finishing off a move he had started by juggling the ball on his head.

Lucas Paqueta added a fourth shortly before the break, meaning Tite could afford to take off some of his stars during the second half.

Credit to Korea, they kept battling, and gave their fantastic fans something to cheer when Paik Seung-ho found the back of the net with a deflected strike – but this night belonged to Brazil.

In another match,Japan were eliminated by Croatia in a highly contested match which was decided by the penalty kick.


The game ended 1-1 after the 90 minutes plus extra time hence it was to be decided by the penalty.

The Samurai blue lost in penalty and will be forced to take the next flight to Tokyo as Croatia book a date with Brazil at the quarter finals.

Today's fixtures (Round of 16). 

Morocco vs Spain at 6pm EAT.

Portugal vs Switzerland at 10pm EAT.

Brazil Sent Packing As Croatia Proceeds To Semi Finals

Image
The World Cup of shocks continued on Friday as wily Croatia dumped favourites Brazil out on penalties. Brazil are gone, out of the World Cup that they always seemed so likely to win. They were favourites in this game and likely would have been in all of the ones to come. That didn't matter to Croatia as they fought harder than before to eliminate the 5 times winners. If this were David and Goliath, and make no mistake, Brazil are a Goliath, then a penalty shootout is seemingly Croatia's rock, the great equaliser. They pushed the mighty Selecao to penalties and took over from there, with Rodrygo's miss setting the tone for his side's collapse. And that's what it will feel like: a collapse. They seemingly had this settled thanks to Neymar , who had scored a career-defining goal in extra time. Bruno Petkovic equalised in the 116th minute and, from there, it all unraveled for Brazil, both the game and the World Cup. Croatia will play Argentina in the semi finals after t...
