What the FIFA World Cup quarter-final line-up is looking like | Football News – Times of India

Three of the four quarter-finals in the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar have been decided, which leaves one more to be finalised. The last two spots will be taken by two of the four teams who will be in action on Tuesday and early Wednesday morning India time. The last four teams trying to book a quarter-final spot are – Morocco, Spain, Portugal and Switzerland.
The Round of 16 games continue to produce some scintillating football in what has been one of the most open World Cups, perhaps of all time. Early Tuesday morning, five time champions Brazil produced perhaps their most complete performance of this tournament in both attack and defense against the South Koreans.
The 6 teams which have already booked a berth in the quarter-finals at Qatar 2022 are – Croatia, Brazil, Netherlands, Argentina, England and France.
As things stand right now, a Brazil vs Argentina semi-final is very much on the cards.
