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
Brazil is just destroying Korea
Very brutal
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
