Men’s World Cup: Brazil vs. Croatia
Brazil gets its biggest test yet at this World Cup, taking on a Croatia side that went all the way to the final of the 2018 tournament. Two of SI’s experts are picking Brazil to go all the way and win the tournament for the first time since 2002, perhaps aided by the convincing performance they put on against South Korea in the round of 16. On the other side, Croatia survived a penalty shootout with Japan to advance. Can they slow down a dynamic Brazil attack and pull off an upset?
