We’re down to the final eight countries, at what has been one of the most surprising and entertaining FIFA World Cups of all-time.
The tournament will take two days off before resuming in Russia on Friday.
The bracket
Upsets to Germany in the group stage and Spain in the Round of 16 have resulted in a lopsided bracket, giving surprise teams like England, Sweden, Croatia, and Russia a glorious chance to reach a World Cup Final.
That’s a place Croatia and Russia have never been. England hasn’t been there since 1966, while Sweden has been waiting since 1958.
