I haven't watched the entire game, but I didn't get the feeling Croatia was anything more than average. Brazil was too nervous, or isn't that good a team as people claim, or perhaps a bit of both.

Too nervous. As the Confederations Cup showed, it is a pretty good team. The next match will be harder though. Mexico always plays well against Brasil, but we'll see.

Brazil is like the only country in the world who values the Confederations  though, much like the Club World Cup.

Personally I think the team is halfway from good to very good like Belgium or the Netherlands. It wouldn't be a favorite if the World Cup wasn't here.
