Favorites March On To The Quarterfinals

It's crunch time now in Qatar as the business side of things gets underway! Defending champs France are in the QFs with a lip-smacking tie v the Three Lions, while Argentina will take on the Dutch in a couple of days time. Also matter of the other ties to come - as South Korea must be scratching their heads thinking of ways to get past Seleção, while Asian counterparts Japan will hope to continue their excellent run of form against an age-ing Croatia. Tournament dark-horses Morocco will be carrying the hopes of a continent v La Roja, while Cristiano looks to make it his swansong as Portugal take on the Swiss in the final games of RO16. All that and more on JFK.
