Zlatko Dalic's Croatia side might have drawn three of their four matches over 90 minutes in Qatar, requiring a penalty shootout to overcome Japan in the round of 16, but they possess a steely resolve that will make them hard for Brazil to break down.

Neymar, Vinicius Junior, Richarlison and Lucas Paqueta were all on target in Brazil's 4-1 thrashing of South Korea on Monday, and head coach Tite will need his forwards in similar form against a Croatia team that has conceded just twice in Qatar. 

Here's all the information you need to watch the game in the USA, including kickoff time, TV channel and live streaming options.
