Pundits have been quick to hit out at Brazil for not seeing out the game against Croatia - before losing 4-2 on penalties to their European opponents.
After a goalless 90 minutes, Brazil and Croatia played out a 1-1 draw in extra time after Neymar's opener was cancelled out by Bruno Petkovic four minutes from time.
The South American side came unstuck in the shootout, first when Rodrygo was denied with their opening penalty, and then Marquinhos hit the post with a vital spotkick to keep Brazil in the game, after Croatia converted all of their efforts.
