Never Miss Out On Exclusive Match Content

32 teams. Out of which only 8 remain, and the other 24 have their dreams crashed after failing to beat their respective opponents. It has been an action-packed 2022 FIFA World Cup so far, and expect the quarter-finals to deliver the same. FootTheBall are here with all the exclusive coverage on the FIFA World Cup 2022 at Qatar and it doesn’t stop here!

Argentina, Netherlands, Brazil, Croatia, England, France, Portugal, and Morocco are the final eight teams who have moved one step closer to their road to victory in Qatar. Speaking of which, Morocco have been the dark horse of the tournament after beating Spain 3-0 on penalties and recording the first upset in the knockout rounds.

The last eight starts with the Samba boys vs Croatia – the runners-up in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The beautiful game or Joga Bonito as they say it in those parts, has been a part of Brazil’s rich history. The match against Croatia will be a tough test for the Selecaos, but Tite’s men have enough gas in the tank to overpower Modric and co.

Next up after that is the tie of the round. Messi’s Argentina take on 3-time World Cup runners-up, Netherlands. The Dutch have surprisingly never won the World Cup even though they produced some of football’s most talented players. Louis Van Gaal is a master when it comes to the international stage and Lionel Scaloni and his men will have to be on their toes to get through this.

The pick of the bunch is undoubtedly England vs France in the quarter-finals. Gareth Southgate’s boys are one of the favourites of the tournament and the broader opinion is that ‘It’s Coming Home’. Defending World Champions on the other hand have broken the recent curse of exiting the group stages. France’s Kylian Mbappe is the tournament’s top scorer so far with 5 goals and is the ultimate test for the Three Lions.

Lastly, the surprise package of the tournament – Morocco, will be facing Ronaldo’s Portugal. The legend of the game hasn’t played a huge role in Portugal’s run so far, but is no doubt a big presence in the dressing room. Fernando Santos’ men will have their work cut out who face a resilient Moroccon side who are yet to concede a goal in 4 matches(except for that one own-goal).

Croatia vs Brazil

Even before the latter fixture between Argentina and Netherlands has begun, its getting heated among both sets of fans.

This fixture is living up to its hype and the fans can’t wait to get a glimpse of their nation’s star performers.

More of this coming up here. STAY TUNED!
