The 2018 World Cup quarter-final ties

The quarter-final stage will get underway on Friday when Uruguay take on France at 16:00 CET in Nizhny Novgorod.

The South Americans saw off Portugal to reach the last eight, whilst France ended Lionel Messi and Argentina's World Cup dream for another year thanks to a dazzling display from Kylian Mbappe.

Friday will also see a clash between two of the favourites ay 20:00 CET as Brazil take on Belgium in Kazan.

The 'Seleçao' continue to dream of winning their sixth world title, whilst the 'Red Devils' are hoping to make the most of their golden generation before it is too late.

The winners of those two games will face off in the semis.

On the other side of the draw, Sweden will face England at 16:00 CET on Saturday, with Samara set to play host to that one.

Sweden edged past Switzerland to book their place in the next phase, whilst England held their nerve to see off Colombia on penalties.

The final tie will see hosts Russia face Croatia in Sochi at 20:00. The Russians have surprised many in reaching this stage, famously dumping out much-fancied Spain in the last 16 on penalties.

Croatia were also dragged the distance as they saw off Denmark in another shootout.

The winners of the two games on that half of the draw will face each other in the other semi-final.

Uruguay, France, Brazil, Belgium, Sweden, England, Russia or Croatia, there can be only one.
