FIFA 2022 world cup

HT: Jepang 1 - 0 Croatia

Until the first half ended, Japan pressed well enough so that the Croatian players had difficulty developing attacks into the penalty box area. Luka Modric did not appear to be the creator of the attack as the Japanese players pressed hard before reaching the penalty box.

Croatia dominated possession but only managed one shot on target in the first half, while Maya Yoshida and Shogo Taniguchi were solid defensively. Japan started to attack in the 40th minute, Daichi Kamada had some good opportunities which he was unable to capitalize on to score, luckily in the 43th minute Daizen Maeda was able to score for Japan in the first half.

Japan has again amazed us with its performance so far. Because of course Croatia is not an easy team to beat. And Japan set another new record by continuing to make this game even more worth watching. We were quite entertained because what was displayed by Japan looked aggressive and made the game feel more alive and not boring. The temporary superiority makes Japan hope a lot to qualify for the top 8.

Unexpected outcome, to be honest. Croatia could open the scoring in the first minutes after a rough mistake of the defender, then there was also one dangerous moment and it seemed that now the Croats will score, but suddenly Japan began to control the ball, to fight for literally every rebound and the last 10 minutes before the break they were constantly near the Croatian penalty area and Japan got their way, scoring such an important goal.

Croats played so well with Canada and it seemed that they are favorites, but probably it will be very hard for Croatia.
Now Croatia will have to go forward instead of counter attacking, as the Croatia like to do.
Japan will also go forward, they always do, so we will have a very hard second half.

Japan vs Croatia match has started. We don't know which of these two teams will win today and be ready to play the next match. However, the team who loses today's match will have to go back to their country. These two teams are playing very well.  It has started now to see which team wins today. I did not support any team in this match today. I did not understand in this match which team will win today.

What a great game Japan is showing. We are truly impressed by their performance. They are leading by 1 goal in the first half. Croatia is not playing well. But maybe Croatia will do better in the second half.
The match is favour to win by Croatia from the online prediction and before the match currently on they have played two times and Croatia winning one and draw one. Currently the match is still no goal yet and 30minutes played. Croatia has played better with a lot of accurate  passes. I think the match is favourable for Croatia to win with experience playing in the world cup more than Japan but this world cup is with many records breaking. We remember Japan beat Germany in group stage.

Well, regarding today's game with Japan and Croatia, it was very emotional, from a corner kick, the Japanese preferred to take it short, making two passes through which turned out to be a great cross where one of the Japanese players was well located and He scored the first goal, despite the fact that the first half is over, I think that Croatia should quickly correct some inconsistencies, loosen up and leave Modic more free so that he can better set up the plays and go forward, for now Japan always they save their best option for the second half, it's a careful team, but if Croatia doesn't risk everything right now they won't have results, I think this second half will be very exciting.

Japan are leading Croatia at the half-time break thanks to a goal by Daizen Maeda two minutes before the half-time interval.

Maeda and his Japan team-mates previously shocked both Germany and Spain to make it to the knockout stage.

Wait for us to see how this very exciting game continues to develop, we will see how both coaches will move the strategies, Japan is really a team that has surprised, it is good to think that Japan is now leveling up in soccer. One of the things I like about Japan is that the players don't play dirty or get out of control in the event of the game, they control their emotions, and they don't get carried away by anger, it's something I admire a lot.

What a great game Japan is showing. We are truly impressed by their performance. They are leading by 1 goal in the first half. Croatia is not playing well. But maybe Croatia will do better in the second half.

[snipie]

Japan 1 - 1 Croatia after 60 minutes of the game.
Obviously it isn't an easy match, Croatia dominated it and Japan scored in the first half. In the second half, Croatia pushed and Perisic made a nice header from a good distance and scored a nice goal.
Dunno if Japanese could stand or will fail but this game is a historical occasion to pass to the next stage.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

Japan did wonders by beating Germany and Spain in the group stage. Tonight, they took the lead against Croatia with the goal of Maeda. They couldn't keep the score. But they continue to play the right game as in previous matches. I guess no one can say that they got this far with the help of their glory. We really don't know what will happen in the rest of the game. But if Japan continue their passionate football, they will be able to pass this round. And they are my favorites in this match. I really want them to add color to the tournament. Because they deserve to be in the quarterfinals.

Brazil fans are excited about the news of Neymar's return. Since the start of the World Cup, the Brazilian team has been plagued by injuries one after another. Neymar and Danilo suffered ankle injuries in the first match of the season against Serbia. As a result, they could not play in the remaining two matches of the group stage. But the good news for the fans is that they are back in the last sixteen match against the Asian side South Korea. There are many concerns among Brazil fans. There are various criticisms of who could be in today's squad. Those who could be in today's possible XI are Alisson, Edar Militao, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Danilo, Lucas Paqueta, Casemiro, Rafinha, Neymar, Vinicius and Jr: Richarlison.

Brazil fans are very hopeful that Brazil will beat South Korea in today's match. But I personally cannot give full prediction that Brazil will secure victory in today's match. Because South Korea is a good team, they have a very strong attack. So it is not right to say anything until the result of the game is known.

[babo]

surely today's games are boring (that of brazil) and potentially fun
surely Japan Croatia will give us a lot of satisfaction, thanks to this Japan that really makes you dream
I never expected this result from the Japanese

A very tough match for Japan. However, Japan have several number of players playing in Europe. I think their experience will be enough to help maintain Japan's chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals. If this really happened, Asia would be very proud of Japan. Because they managed to give a surprise to qualify for the quarter-finals.

Even though I am supporting Japan for this matches, I myself still not sure of the opportunities I am talking about. considering Croatia was runner up in the previous world cup. So, Croatia seems to be going all out for the win.

You are right, I confirm everything you say
it will be a very tough game

I too will support Japan, if this match passes it will be an incredible celebration for all of Asia but especially for Japan itself

they are still playing

[Ayers]

Even though Croatia played better football, the news is that Japan is ahead as have scored in about the 43rd minute of the game. Yet again we see the heavyweight team Croatia losing to a relative underdog Japan. At half time it is 1-0 in favor of Japan.
Next half will be very interesting as Japan may play a defensive game and try to defend this lead for the last 45 mins of play. Remember Japan had already done upset before also when they defected Belgium in the group game.

if we look at the previous matches like when Japan played against Germany and Spain. In fact, the game of the Japanese players in the second half always became more aggressive and even attacked more. So it can be said that Japan rarely carried out a defensive strategy. The individual speed of the Japanese players was truly frightening. Croatia is really strong in defense. but it turned out to be a hassle when facing attacks from Japanese players who had good accuracy in passing. Croatia had to be a bit more careful in the second half. because the second goal could have been created in the second half.

Japan have been playing extraordinarily well in this world cup and we have seen them defeat Germany and Spain on the group stage. But right now Japan in Croatia both have a 1-1 score as Croatia have equalized in the 55th minute. Ivan Perišić scored a good goal but I really think Japan have the advantage right now as they are really playing like a team and their team chemistry is top-notch in this world cup. So far this has been a really exciting match of football between Croatia and Japan and I hope the better team wins this game and proceeds to the next round.

[asriloni]

it's hard to say this, but it's still the first half even though I know Croatia is actually not a really superior team to enter the world cup final later, it can be seen from the start of the world cup match, croatia didn't show a good game in my opinion, that's why in this match it will be seen how croatia could conquer japan or be conquered by japan

1-1 now as perisic has been making a goal for croatia. The chance for japen to go to the next round become even harder. It seems like that people were underestimating croatia. I hope that croatia will be winning in this match. The result from this match is very hard to predict. Croatia and japan have been playing so well during the first half. Modric didn't give lots of contribution in this match. Japan is always attacking croatia and the defensive players of japan were leaving their position.
The counter attack that comes from croatia has become very effective as there are only some defenders defending japan's goalkeeper.

[Alpha Marine]

Looks like Japan is giving another surprise today. even though Croatia and Japan both played very well, I saw that the Croatian defense line was always read by the Japanese team and there were always gaps to break into Croatia's goal.
in this first round Japan won 1-0 and in my opinion Croatia should be more stringent in guarding its defense.
Japan this time can not be underestimated. let's see what will happen

I always knew Japan would would be very difficult against Croatia. I even placed my money on Japan. Croatia will definitely play better, they would dominate but Japan have a certain way of playing their football. The game is still 1-1 and if it stays this way till the end then it goes to extra time. Japan can still hold their nerves for another 30 minutes and take the game to penalty. We all know penalty is a 50-50 thing. They are a well organized and motivated team.

[Agbe]

Argentina National Team is really weak. Argentina's national team would not have passed the group stage without De Paul and Messi. Their chances against the Netherlands are quite slim.

The entire Argentina team are playing poorly in this world Cup. They are always dependent on Messi. But I sometimes blame the coach for his selection in some matches. His decision to bench Lisandro Martinez, Alvarez and Mac Alister. The midfield is packed with just defensive midfielders and that is also affecting them.

The way England player the match against Senegal is Proof that the Squad is starting to get used to playing together. And now that they are starting to get into the rithim Im confident the team Will be One on the finals.

England team is beginning to find his rhythm back. And that's why Southgate is stubborn to twerk his team. Rashford seriously needs to be in the team.

I see them going far but France will be there biggest test in the competition.

Croatia vs Japan is one of the interesting game in the tournament. The match is tough. I thought Croatia would scored Japan first before the goalless struggle would begin but football is not what we think about it. I placed a bet on Croatia to win Japan. But looking at things now. The match is going to be draw.

Croatia and Japan are playing on an equal footing.  There is a lot of tension between the two teams and they are trying to score another goal to win the match . For Croatia, many are still hopeful that they will score another goal and win the match.  But the possibility of a draw is most likely . Let's enjoy the game for a few more minutes and see what happens with the final result

[Doell]

Impressive, Japan and Croatia played very well. Is possible this match will be a draw and end with a penalty shootout? but so far Japan efforts have performed quite brilliantly, they were able to win against Germany also Spain.

Japan did wonders by beating Germany and Spain in the group stage. Tonight, they took the lead against Croatia with the goal of Maeda. They couldn't keep the score. But they continue to play the right game as in previous matches. I guess no one can say that they got this far with the help of their glory.

I really want them to add color to the tournament. Because they deserve to be in the quarterfinals.

Hopefully Japan can pass this matches well, and yeah they are not just lucky I agree with you, to be honest I put my money in japan and my favorite too lol. The last minute is a minute full of tension !

Croatia has managed to score in the 2nd half and this match is now level. Anyone can score a score at the dying stages of the match and for sure they will be the winner. But I do not see any real urge from both teams to press hard at the opponent and it seems both teams are comfortable to go in the extra time. If this happens it will be the first time in this world cup that we shall see the match result in extra time and/or through plenty kicks.

I think the match is going to be a draw now, and end of the day the match will be finished by Tiebreaker. But today Croatia's performance looks better than Japan's. Because if you look at the match stats, you will see that Croatia's match position is 60 percent, while Japan's is 40 percent. In terms of pass accuracy, Croatia did better today.

[GxSTxV]

Most of the second half Croatia has been dominating the match and could create good chances that lead to score a draw goal. While Japan they been defending and playing counter attacks with the speed of their players. This is the first extra time we are seeing in this world cup 2022 after Japan and Croatia couldn't end the match in the 90 minutes of game they both scored one goal.
In term of accurate and more expected team to win i would definitely say Croatia but we also know Japan every is possible with such team and its won't be a surprise

Well, I had a feeling that both teams will score:


I won my bet, and I placed another one, "draw" in overtime at x1.75. I think we will watch penalties... I was thinking to combine "draw" with Japan or Croatia to win, but penalties are such a gamble!

And I have a bet on Brazil to win & over 2.5 goals, I even expect Korea to score, but I wasn't sure about that enough to place a bet on both teams to score.

[BRINIRHA]

Extraordinary. Both teams have shown a very good game and because the score is still even then extra time is needed. and now the extra time round has begun. Still not sure which one is superior. and now physical endurance is really being tested for both teams. because extra time round must be very tiring. in this match we saw that Japan is really a strong team. they qualified for the last 16 not because of luck. but japan is worth it. so is croatia. Croatia is no doubt about their good performance. But Japan certainly surprised everyone.

[$crypto$]

You are right, I confirm everything you say
it will be a very tough game

I too will support Japan, if this match passes it will be an incredible celebration for all of Asia but especially for Japan itself

The half continued with "extra time" both of them have the same potential in attack but I think they will be more careful and can't be careless if that happens it will be a mistake that results in a goal but I believe Japan will maintain the consistency of its game.
In this round it will be even more tense because if there is a penalty shootout later I will choose Croatia which will win compared to Japan.
