Summary
Jimbo, Tim Spiers and Sasha Goryunov gather their thoughts after an incredible day of quarter-final action in Qatar.
Argentina overcome the Netherlands on penalties after a game that features comebacks, late drama, the pass of the tournament and the free-kick of the tournament.
Messi and co will face Croatia in the semi-finals after they defeat Brazil in a shootout. Slaven Bilic joins us in the studio to detail what makes his country so effective at team sports.
Saturday’s quarter-finals see Morocco look to make history as the first African nation to reach the last 4. And it’s England v France, with the Three Lions looking to unseat the defending champions. Julien Laurens gives us the French perspective.
