We’re approaching the business end of the 2022 World Cup and there are some really mouthwatering quarter-finals to enjoy.
Favourites Brazil take on Croatia on Friday afternoon for a place in the last four with many expecting the samba stars to emerge victorious and set up a potential all-South American semi with bitter rivals Argentina, who take on the Netherlands later on. It’s a World Cup fixture steeped in history, from the Alboceleste’s 1978 final triumph on home turf to Dennis Bergkamp’s magical goal that won it for the Dutch in France 20 years later.
The big one on Saturday is England vs France. With no Scotland to cheer on, it’s time to big up the Auld Alliance again for many on these shores, who will be hoping Kylian Mbappe and co. are too much for Gareth Southgate’s men. Before then however, shock jocks Morocco take on Portugal after stunning Spain, and there’s every likelihood that Ronaldo will moodily watch from the bench again whilst remembering to smile when the cameras are trained on him should things be going well for the Portuguese.
