Brazil and Croatia will be the protagonists of what will be the first and one of the most interesting duels in the quarterfinals of Qatar 2022. Here we will tell you who Michael Oliver is, the main referee of this duel. Remember if you are in the United States, you can follow all the action of this game through FuboTV (free trial).

The Croatian team will seek to get into the semifinals after having reached the final of Russia 2018. They know that they are not the favorites in this game, but they trust that they can repeat what they did 4 years ago. Many of the players of this great golden generation of Croatia are already of advanced age, so this could be their last World Cup and that is why they want to say goodbye in the best way.

Brazil are favorites to win this game and one of the main candidates to win the World Cup. His great performances, especially against South Korea in the round of 16, have reinforced his candidacy. But now they will have to prove it as they have to play against the toughest opponent since the World Cup began.
