One user named Geetikanthaa Daas commented, “At the last moment nobody thought something like this is going to happen. Brazil has been the favourites without any doubt but the underdogs took it away. This was indeed unbelievable.”
Another user wrote that over confidence ruined it for Brazil. They slowed down the tempo well in advance and gave chances to Croatia which grabbed the opportunity with open arms. They were being underdogs in penalty but they proved the mettle. It’s never over till it’s actually over. He took a dig with Sharukh Khan’s favourite dialogue ‘Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost’.
