Brazil curse strikes again.

Since they last won the WC in 2002, Brazil has lost whenever it has met a European team in the knockout rounds. They have beaten European teams in the group stage but in the knockout rounds, they have come short. Though it's always been a strong team that beat them. Surely, with the best side they have had in a long time, they would cruise past an underwhelming Croatia team? But no.

Given the form and stature of the respective sides, this is a huge upset and changes the whole complexion of the WC. Also, fans of rival teams might (😳) just think that this gives them more of a chance.
