The much awaited show FIFA World Cup 2014 kicks offs in a mega opening ceremony organized in Brazil. It was a high profile show which witnesses a glorious opening for the FIFA world cup as it was expected.
The opening ceremony changed into another triumph in the country when Brazil defeated Croatia by 3-1 in the inaugural match here.
It is difficult to say about the fact that which country will be winner as each and every match of the World Cup is crucial and much hyped, but the first one of the tournament which was played between Croatia and Brazil was the full of excitement.
Football is a passion for Brazil and it is the most favourite team for the world cup, it will be difficult to ignore Argentina, Spain,Germany, France and Italy.
The five-time World Cup champion won 15 out of the recent 16 matches, including victories over strong teams such as Italy and Spain.
Athough they might not have entertained the spectators, but Brazil did enough to scare their opponents. There was no need for Brazil to make any change to the already-excellent squad or formation. Neymar and the other Brazilian attackers would force great pressure on Croatia's defence. Brazilian defenders would also fight hard to cut the connection between the Croatia's forwards and midfielders.
It is noted that he two teams had only met once in the previous 19 World Cups. Brazil edged Croatia 1-0 in 2006 in an evenly fought match. Croatia had a tradition to play the "dark horses", and Modric had the ability to change the match, so it would be no surprise if Croatia win the match before the 60,000 home crowd.
