You mean Argentina losing to Saudi Arabia is less surprising than this? 

Off course not, it was a little "hidde" joke, that match its impossible to be forget.

But don't ask me anything about the cardiovascular health of this nation.

I have a feeling both Holland and Argentina would rather play Croatia than Brazil in SF

Sure, because Brazil has a way higher 'peak' than Croatia. As in, if Brazil really gets going, they can utterly destroy everyone, just like France. Croatia doesn't have that 'peak', but a team doesn't need to have that to be a big danger.

 

And come on, boring, not boring, whatever. If you reach the World Cup final, and the next time you're in the semi's after kicking Brazil out, you are very well capable of kicking Argentina and the Netherlands out as well, no question about it.

How so? Brazil was never a dominant side in the game.

I feel like they were generally not impressive beyond the first halves (matches against Cameroon and South Korea come to mind).

 

Notwithstanding Livaković just being... Livaković.

The gap between World Cups is too big to take any evidence from what happened four years earlier. If you did a poll among players I bet >80% would pick Croatia over Brazil. Because of the fixed draw there will always be speculation who is the better opponent looking ahead.

Funnily enough, it's rather an archaic name.
