Today’s standout match is Netherlands v Argentina. Louis Van Gaal’s side comfortably beat the United States in the last 16 3-1, with goals from Memphis Depay, Daley Blind and Denzel Dumfries securing the win.

Argentina on the other hand didn’t win their last game quite as easily as their opponents. Goals from Lionel Messi and Manchester City’s Julian Alvarez put the Argentine’s 2-0 up before an own goal from Enzo Fernandez set up a tense last few minutes.

Before that, Croatia v Brazil is also shaping up to be a great tie. Croatia edged past Japan on penalties, coming from a goal behind to level the scores with Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic the hero.

Meanwhile, Brazil swept the Korea Republic aside with minimal fuss. Four first half goals from Vinicius Junior, Neymar, Richarlison and West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta put them 4-0 up after just 36 minutes. The flurry of goals from the South American’s ended there though, with a single goal from Paik Seung Ho in the second half restoring some pride for his side.
