What a story for Croatia, what a hit for Betandyou!
Croatia qualified for the World Cup 2022 semifinals beating the absolute favorites to lift the trophy Brazil (4-2) on penalties. It was another big shock in this Qatar 2022 tournament, in which Morocco already made the headlines knocking out Spain in the round of 16. At the same time Croatia beating the five-time champions was also a huge success for our fresh Betandyou blog which aired just last week!

Our football experts had a phenomenally successful prediction for the first quarterfinal of the World Cup! Just reading the title of this preview, you could get your first tip: “Why backing Croatia against Brazil actually makes sense!” And since Modric and Co. qualified against Brazil, the lucky readers who selected to follow this tip, could find odds at 5.35! Not bad for starters.
In the same article, our tipsters predicted Neymar to score anytime (2.10) as well as that the first half of the Croatia - Brazil match won’t have any winner (2.05). The first half was goaless, as well as the normal time (0-0). In the last minute of the first half in extra time, Neymar opened the score with a fantastic goal and tied Pele's record for most goals for the national team (77). But Croatia had an answer and snatched a late Petkovic equaliser forcing penalties.
The Croats, who needed two shootouts and an extra-time win to reach the final in 2018, then kept their composure from the penalty spot as Brazil's Marquinhos and Rodrygo failed to convert. Five of Croatia’s last six matches at World Cups have gone to extra time, including its penalty shootout win over Japan in the round of 16 in Qatar. The team has been successful in eight of its last 10 knockout matches at the tournament.
