What to expect from the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarterfinals?
There were some memorable quarter-final ties during the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Fancied sides, Brazil and Portugal, were both ousted in stunning fashion by Croatia and Morocco, respectively.
France progressed after a titanic tussle with England, and in the infamous 'Battle of Lusail', where a World Cup record 18 yellow cards and one red card were issued, Argentina needed extra-time to see off a dogged and determined Dutch side.
The 2026 tournament has already delivered an incredible amount of drama, completely turning the bracket upside down. France and Spain have already claimed semifinal slots, but who will join them?
Fancied giants Brazil were sent packing in a stunning 2-1 Round of 16 defeat to Erling Haaland's Norway, setting up a titanic quarterfinal clash for the Norwegians against England (who narrowly bypassed co-hosts Mexico 3-2 in a classic at the Azteca). Also in the bottom half of the draw, Argentina pulled off one of the greatest comebacks ever seen at a World Cup when beating Egypt 3-2. They will now clash with Switzerland, who beat Colombia in a dramatic penalty shootout.
Thirty years after USA 1994 broke records, the expanded 2026 edition is proving to be the biggest, loudest, and most volatile World Cup in football history.
