World Cup 2022: Brazil dance their way past Korea and Croatia practiced penalties better than Japan

Two more teams have booked their place in the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup! Japan and Croatia played an exciting game for about 75 minutes, and then seemed content to go to penalties for the rest of the 45 minutes. Why did Japan's takes seem so poor and how much should Croatia be loving Livakovic? After that, it's on to Brazil's 4-1 demolition of Japan, which featured lovely individual goals, a beautiful team performance, and a lot more hype for Brazil as potential future champions. We also preview Brazil-Croatia, and do some specific predicting for tomorrow's games! -- JOIN THE TSS WORLD CUP+ PATREON!
