CGTN Sports Talk EP217 Things get more serious.mp3
The quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar will kick off on Friday between Croatia and Brazil as well as Argentina and the Netherlands.
Croatia are definitely the underdog against Brazil, but they have the richest experience of hanging there in tough competitions and then beating their opponents.
Brazil must be happy to watch Neymar play like a part of the team, but when they have to wrestle with Croatia in the mud, they may need Neymar and his sparkle on the field.
Both Argentina and the Netherlands knocked each other out in the World Cup before. When Argentina won, they either won the championship (in 1978), or reached the final (in 2014).
