What teams are left in the 2022 World Cup? When are the quarter-final matches being played in Qatar?
Five European nations will contest the last-eight ties, alongside two from South America and one from Africa after Morocco stunned Spain in their round of 16 match on Tuesday. The North African nation beat the 2010 champions on penalties after Luis Enrique’s side failed to break down their opponents in normal and extra time and then missed all of their spot-kicks.
That victory set up a last-eight clash with Portugal who breezed past Switzerland with a 6-1 win. Croatia, Brazil, the Netherlands, Argentina, England and France all remain in Qatar.
