Difficult to find a better poster to launch these quarter-finals. Brazil, big favorite of all observers and even more since the rouste inflicted on South Korea in half time in the previous round, rubs shoulders with the reigning vice-world champions. With a Neymar who will gain strength after his ankle injury, the Brazilians are sure of their strength, impressive on every floor. But Croatia masters the art of arm wrestling better than anyone, accepting to suffer to finally get out of it, we don’t really know how, preferably in the depths of extra time or on penalties. She proved it four years ago, and again against the Japanese.
>> Because three days without a match is far too long, be there at snack time for the kick-off of the quarter-finals…
