Croatia knocks out Brazil in the QFs in a shootout that never should have happened.
What a blunder by Brazil - after scoring in overtime they get careless and give up the tying goal. That simply cannot happen. Go to a five man back line and lock it up.

Then, to make things worse, their manager sends a 21yr old kid to take the first penalty kick...IN A WORLD CUP QF MATCH....what the heck was he thinking?!?!
The tone was set right there as the Croatian keeper (who is the man of the match after making some great saves) stopped a weak attempt.
Meanwhile, Neymar never gets in the shootout.

Reminds me of England manager Southgate sending a few youngsters (Saka and Sancho) to take PKs in the Euro Final vs Italy. They both missed and Italy won.

Croatia is one tough squad - on to the semis for them.
