The 2018 FIFA World Cup is entering the quarterfinals as eight of the tournament’s best teams — and Cinderella stories — fight for a chance to become the globe’s soccer power.

Oh, the drama!

After this round, the winners will play in a semifinal, ultimately leading to the biggest game in all of soccerdom: the World Cup final.

The quarterfinals start off with France taking on Uruguay. After that, only three more games follow. They’ll feature tournament favorites like Brazil and Belgium, as well as underdogs like Russia, the host nation, and Sweden.
