At the 2022 Qatar World Cup, a new surprise occurred again when one of the main candidates, Brazil, were eliminated on penalties in the quarterfinals by Croatia, who will play the semifinals for the third time in their history. Here we tell you how many times in history Brazilians have been eliminated in the quarterfinals.

It seems to be a difficult instance for the Brazilians to overcome in the last editions. Although it is known that it is not easy to reach the 5th game and that speaks of the great perseverance of the Brazilians who have played this instance on several occasions, it seems that overcoming it is a real challenge.

This World Cup, thanks to big stars like Neymar, Vinicius Jr, Paqueta or Richarlison, it was thought that the Brazilians would reach at least the semifinals of the tournament. But Croatia showed a great level first to not give up and to tie the game in extra time and then to execute the penalties excellently.
