The full list of teams still in the World Cup - and who could win it 🟢 GeorgeRSimms
Having only beaten Canada in normal time so far in this tournament, many will doubt Croatia’s ability to get past Brazil in their quarter-final. Yet this is a side which benefits from incredible endurance and composure under pressure, as shown throughout the 2018 World Cup.
Even as the stars of this squad reach the end of their careers, they still have the legs to take teams to their limits, as they did against Japan in the last 16. This group have been in these situations before, and will play compact, efficient football to stop Brazil playing as they would like.Brazil really announced themselves in this tournament with their 4-1 last 16 win over South Korea, but have still been the bookies favourites for some time.
Tite has been in charge since 2016, so Brazil’s squad are settled and familiar with one another. Their only success of late was their 2019 Copa America victory, losing the 2021 Copa America final to Argentina.Unfancied before this tournament but always a threat under Louis van Gaal, the Dutch have stormed their way to this quarter-final.
The Netherlands are unbeaten in this tournament and through the whole of 2022, and despite having odds of 16/1 to win the whole thing, are just one statement performance away from rocketing into people’s consciousnesses.The 2021 Copa America champions are all about Lionel Messi. As has been discussed time and time again, this will be his final chance at winning a World Cup in a career that deserves one.
