Brazil

Our attacker came on as a second-half substitute in his nation's 4-1 win against South Korea at the World Cup.

It was back in 2009, and some of my closest friends started watching the Premier League, and they were like: "pick a team". She was born the day after we won the FA Cup against Chelsea in 2020; I was literally in the hospital having contractions and watching the game on an iPad! I love all of them, and this past season has been really nice, building an even stronger relationship between my country and Arsenal. Then I went to study in Portugal for a few months and came to London, and he took me to my first Arsenal match. We’ve built a lot of friends here, and now it’s even more special with the amount of Brazilian players that Arsenal have, which makes me very proud. I always say my home country is Brazil, even though I've been in the UK for almost 10 years now, as I still have family over there.

Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic called Brazil's squad "scary" but says his team are not big underdogs in Friday's quarter-final against the World Cup favourites.

“We have to be very smart in our approach. “We want to give maximum effort — we won’t surrender before the game. “If we are looking at it realistically, Brazil is the best team at the tournament, they have a great choice of players, a great squad, it’s scary, so it’s a great test for us.”

Some may call them disrespectful, but Brazil don't care. Neymar & Co. are going to keep on dancing every time they score a goal at the World Cup.

Day 17 of our World Cup advent calendar, and you best enjoy it because the next two doors are empty. Despite all the above caveats surrounding Brazil’s swashbuckling win, Croatia’s journey to the trophy ends in the quarter-finals. The second goal came from the silliest of first touches (and the sneakiest of dives). Stripped back, football is just 22 humans (in this solar system anyway) chasing a pumped up sphere of synthetic leather, hoofing it between two propped-up fishing nets, on a planet where there is still no general consensus on why it even exists in the first place. SO many people were upset by Brazil’s mid-match raves, judging from the backstreets of social media and various gloomy internet forums. "I don't mind the first jig, or whatever it was, for the first goal, but not every time.

Brazil is a massive favorite against Croatia in their World Cup quarterfinal matchup Friday.

Arsenal and Brazil striker Gabriel Jesus has undergone successful knee surgery.

Brazil coach Tite died reports that Jesus was already carrying an issue prior to featuring for the five-time world champion in Qatar. According to unconfirmed reports in Brazil, Jesus will be absent for three months. Jesus was ruled out for the remainder of the World Cup after sustaining an injury to his right knee during the Selecao's Group G clash with Cameroon.

Van Gaal continued, “The strange thing is that I read in the media of my friends that that was sparkling football. While we did that too. And we also scored.”.

It was the best moment of the World Cup so far. They actually play the same football as the Dutch national team: they switch very quickly from a compact defense.” Van Gaal was asked by ESPN who he was impressed with the most so far, “I wouldn’t know, because I haven’t watched France yet.

The 71-year-old manager will look to continue his unbeaten run of 19 games in his third stint as Netherlands manager when they take on Argentina on Friday.

Brazil were outstanding in Monday's win over South Korea, but Zlatko Dalic has backed Croatia to make things more difficult for the Selecao.

"[It's] too early, if only it were the final. "Brazil is the favorite, let's face it," Dalic said on Tuesday. "I think we have nothing to fear," Dalic said.

They also met in the group stage eight years prior to that in Germany, which Brazil also won. “We are more than happy to reach the quarter-finals.” We will fight until the end,” he told reporters when asked about the potential clash with Brazil. Modric was unable to last the full duration of the game against Japan. In Qatar, Dalic is looking to go one better than in Russia four years ago when the Croats reached the final. But the talismanic Luka Modric still remains the beating heart of this side at the ripe age of 37.
