We are halfway through the 2nd round. Twelve teams remain.

6pm Japan-Croatia

10pm Brazil-S.Korea

(Times by https://time.is/Qatar )

The winners play each other in a quarter-final on the 9th

There have been no surprises in the knockout stage so far, completely predictable results.

Japan are 3/1 against. Korea are 13/1. Croatia have a good record in international competitions, reaching the final of the last World Cup and coming third in France '98

      this is a brazilian team that got owned at home, and their whole defensive stuff works better if they are extremelly aggro so yeah it is not great for korea and it is really stressful for the koreans players because if they play more agressive brazil is even more dangerous

        Might be saving it for later in the tournament. Or maybe he'll show more love to Pele with the recent news.
