The Details
2: SpainQuietly effective so far. After a shock 0-0 draw with Cape Verde in their opener, Spain have been quietly going through the gears. More to come as well.
3: ArgentinaLionel Messi. What else needs to be said? With the 'little magician' as the leader, Argentina have looked very impressive despite a huge scare against Cape Verde before coming through 3-2 in the last 32.
4: BrazilNot many were talking about Brazil pre-tournament but Carlo Ancelotti is getting a tune out of them. With Vinicius Jr firing, you wouldn't rule them out. 5: Morocco Semi-finalists four years ago and look capable of going deep again.
What Experts Say
Will be a tough opponent for anyone. 6: ColombiaOne of the most exciting teams in the World Cup so far. Full of pace and dynamism with Luis Diaz as a sprinkle of stardust.
7: MexicoExplosive in attack and rock solid at the back. A favourable draw so far but will no doubt be a huge test for England. 8: EnglandAn impressive second half in their opener against Croatia, winning 4-2, but have struggled to hit such heights since.
Job done but will need to improve. 9: NorwayPerhaps a bit unfair to be so low. Erling Haaland looks full of goals - as ever - with a capable supporting cast.
The story has become one of the most prominent items on the global agenda.
