FIFA World Cup 2018 quarter-finals: Schedule, teams, live streaming and more
Moscow: The 2018 FIFA World Cup, which started with 32 teams on June 14, is now down to eight teams. The round of 16 matches have been completed, and there have already been a few surprises.
While it was game over for football’s most-celebrated players Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, teams like Brazil, Belgium and England progressed to the quarterfinals.
Even Spain’s World Cup campaign came to an unfortunate end after losing to hosts Russia 3-4 on penalties.
However, despite the big teams missing out on a last eight spot, the quarterfinal promises to be yet another cracking one.
While France lock horns with Uruguay in the early kick-off on Friday, that match will be followed by the Brazil-Belgium clash, as the Selecao chase a sixth world title.
On Sunday, an England team boosted by Harry Kane’s form will be in action against Sweden earlier, whereas hosts Russia face Croatia in the second match on that day.
After the Three Lions’ thrilling 4-3 win on penalties against Colombia on Tuesday, here is how the quarterfinal fixtures look like:
