Hopefully Brazil opens with a bang tonight. No disrespect to Croatia but having the home team go on a bit of a run is vital for a really great tournament.

I think we're going to see a draw.
People like to talk about the poor back 4 of Brazil, but I wonder how many watched Thiago Silva, hes one of the best CBs around. Sure Dante and Luiz arent the greatest help but they're not terrible either.
Actually, David Luiz is an extremely good CB when his head is in the game as we saw at the Confederations Cup, but getting his head into the game is practically impossible!
Croatian goals are likely going to have to come from Mandzukic or Modric, I think Mandzukic will likely be marked out, but Modric might be able to get something from midfield.
