The mood was festive and colourful on Tuesday morning as Brazilian and Croatian fans gathered in the German capital, Berlin, ahead of their teams' World Cup Group F clash later in the day.
Brazil are five-time champions and heavy favourites to win a record sixth world championship.
The Croats, third in the 1998 World Cup in France, have admitted a draw would be called heroic.
The match, scheduled for 9 p.m. local time (1900 GMT), is the first in the tournament to be played at the Olympiastadion.
A big screen has been set up at the Brandenburg gate for those fans not lucky enough to get tickets for the game.
Early on Tuesday morning fans of both teams wrapped in their nations' flags sang and danced in the sun while waiting for the game to start.
A Croatian fan said he thought his team stood a chance against the current champions, whilst Brazilian supporters appeared more certain, almost arrogant, about success.
"This is a formality," said one Brazilian fan.
Brazil's coach, however, has said he expects Group F to be decided only in the final round of games.
Australia, Brazil's next opponent on Sunday, beat Japan 3-1 on Monday in their group opener.
Brazil and Croatia have drawn the only two times they have played, including 1-1 in a friendly last year.
Both sides will be at full strength for Tuesday's match at the Olympiastadion.
Outside the Kempinski hotel where the Brazilian team is staying in central Berlin, around 40 Brazilian supporters were waiting and playing samba rhythms, hoping to catch a glimpse of their heroes.
