after losing to croatia in the quarter finals, karesha held their nerve to win on penalties offered tense period of extra time meaning brazil's wait for a 1st world cup since 2002 goes on the crowd inside the education city stadium had watched more than a 100 minutes of gold football, where name or solo effort finally broke the deadline for brazil. a slick passing move, culminating in his 2nd goal of the tournament, one that looked like a certain winner. but in the 170 minute creation substitute, bruno petrovich converted his team's 1st shot on target. a deflection from martinos ensuring that croatia would be heading into a 2nd successive penalty shootout and for a 2nd successive time it was they who prevailed while croatia hammered home.

clinical sport kicks. brazil twice failed to convert. it was martinos missed that finally settled, things sending croatia into the final for once again. the runners up in russia have high hopes for guitar. while ne mind coat once again heading home empty handed. and in a friday's other quarter, final argentina knocked out the netherlands on penalties after the dutch produced a major come back during the game. argentina lead to no, but the netherlands came back to equalize. in the 11th minute of stoppage time, that took the game to a shootout, where argentinian keeper, emmy martinez, saved to penalties, and then ford lord todo martinez then stepped up to send our contina through to the semi funds. earlier i spoke to d. w. sports. dana barcelona in doha. she has more on that seismic penalty shootout that sent the netherlands home. so everybody in the stadium during the

90 minutes pretty much thought that argentina had this one in the bag. you know, they had to know lead. it was pretty comfortable, but actually if you know anything about for bought to nil is probably the worst lead you can have because it gives you that false sense of security and comfort. now everyone thought it was over except for another lens who fought back. they managed to tie it up and send the game to extra time and penalties. now unfortunately, some fans had actually started to leave the game before the 90 minute, and they were unable to get back into the stadium. so they did miss the extra time . and the shootouts, but i was in the stadium yesterday, almost 90000 people. let me tell you the atmosphere was absolutely ridiculous. the stadium was shaking each step argentina takes further. the belief really increases that this will finally be the time that messy will win the world cup and the world cup failure for brazil was a pretty disappointing talk us about talk us through that situation as well.

yet for brazil, this was an absolutely massive disappointment. coming into this game, they were the favorites actually coming into the entire tournament. they were favorites to win everything. there was a lot of believe here, every fan we talked to center, he said that brazil would probably win. this woke up. they have such a talented team from the goalkeeper all the way to the attackers, so it was extremely shocking for them that they went. now of course, we know that they do struggle against european opposition since they won the tournament in 2002 each time they've been knocked out by a european side. now of course croatia is not an easy team to play against the last tournament finalist. so massive disappointment for brazil right now. all right, that is dana, off alone. i in doha, keeping a close eye and that will cup for us. thank you so much. well i, his reminder of our top story. police in belgium have arrested 5 people, including a european parliament, vice president, greek socialist,
