How do you get to this quarterfinal phase?

Without a doubt, the match that captures all eyes is that of England against France, a classic of European football. Why does it attract attention? We are about to witness a high-voltage match with teams that have an incomparable generation of footballers, in addition to the fact that they are two world champions who are favorites to lift the coveted trophy.

From there they are followed by the Netherlands and Argentina, two teams with an old rivalry in the history of the World Cup. The most recent meeting was in the semifinals of Brazil 2014, then the Argentines won on penalties 4-2 to advance to their first final since Italy 1990.

But without a doubt, the game that the Dutch will never forget against the South Americans will be the final in Argentina 1978, when they lost 3-1 against Mario Alberto Kempes’ team.

Croatia and Brazil also have written history in the World Cup, although they are not yet a classic of the tournament. They have only seen each other twice and in the group stage. The first was in Germany 2006 and the “Scratch do Ouro” beat the Croats. Their most recent meeting was 8 years ago, in 2014, on that occasion the Brazilians beat the Europeans 3-1.

Will Croatia beat the five-time world champion? It only has a 30% chance and the outlook is complicated, although Qatar has shown us that surprises come when we least expect it.

To conclude, Morocco and Portugal have faced each other twice in a World Cup, in Mexico 1986 the Moroccans beat the Lusitanos 3-1 and in Russia 2018 the CR7 team won by the minimum. Will it be the last time we see Cristiano Ronaldo in a World Cup?

The ball is about to roll, do you have your predictions ready yet?
