This is my first post on the World cup. Very excited. Its a shame that this event is only once every 4 years.
Brazil versus Croatia is of course a spectacular start for the world cup. Both teams are very strong.
Brazil is of course the heavy favorite. Although the odds at Tipico seem a little bit exaggerated to me :
Croatia has a very strong team. So the odds cannot be so heavily towards Brazil. Brazil has of course the home advantage. I think a 1-6 odd would be more realistic.
The probable line up is:
Brazils star in the offense is of course Neymar.
His year with Barcelona was very disappointing.
Lets see what he will be able to do in the national team. The Strength of the Brazilian team is in the defense. Silva (PSG), Luis(Chelsea), Alves(Barcelona), Marcelo (Real Madrid) represent the strongest defensive line of any team in the world cup. Defense wins the championship and beating this defense will be really hard for any team.
Croatia on the hand can boast of a very good midfield. Rakitic played a fantastic season for Sevilla and is rumored to have been bought by FC Barcelona. His whoscored.com rating for the season was a staggering 7.6/10 with 10 goals and 12 assists in La Liga.
His partner in the midfield will be real Madrid's Luca Modric.
He played a brilliant season in La Liga and the championship and will probably be one of the big stars of the World cup. Bayern's Mario Mandzukic will be missing due to a red card suspension. Former Bayern star Ivica Olic will be the sole offensive player for the game. Croatia has a very solid, disciplined squad and could provide the first upset of the world cup by not losing to Brazil.
So if you are willing to take a risk, Some good money can be made by betting on Croatia not to lose against the home side!
Let the Games Begin!!!!!
