eyes are fixed on Saturday's quarter-final against Sweden and victory in this
match will place him in the final four, where Croatia or Russia can be their
opponents.

make it to the quarter-finals for the first time.

keep this French player quiet in the quarter-finals
Brazil's
eyes are focused on the sixth world title to increase the record. The Belgium
team was heading towards defeat after losing 0-2 in the pre-quarterfinals, but
in the last 21 minutes, they were successful in winning the match by scoring
three goals. Nacer Chadli scored a winning goal in the injury time for his
team.
Eden Hazard,
Romelu Lukaku, Dries Mertens and Kevin De Bruyne can challenge a Brazilian
defense. The South American team has lost only once in four matches.
France
defeated Argentina by 4-3, thanks to two goals from kylian mbappe and got the
right to confront Uruguay. The success of Uruguay depends on the strong defense
duo of José Gimenez and Diego Godin, while he has a strikingly pair of Louis
Suarez and Edinson Cavani.
