World Cup 2022: Which teams are in quarter-finals? Who can England play? Who has the easiest run to the final?

The last 16 of the World Cup have just begun, but the quarter-finals in Qatar are just around the corner and it is – usually – when the competition heats up.

Next up for the Dutch is the winner of Australia against Argentina. South Korea, Brazil, Croatia and Japan are also on that side of the draw.

The other side of the draw sees six European teams – Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, England, France and Poland – joined by two African teams, Morocco and Senegal.

Here is all the info you need to know about the knockout stages of the World Cup.

Who could England play in the World Cup quarter-finals?

Should England beat Senegal on Sunday, they will play either France or Poland in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

Facing the defending champions would be a huge test for the Three Lions, but should they get through that it will give the team a huge confidence boost. However, waiting for them in a potential semi-final would be probably either Spain or Portugal.

Who has the easiest route to the World Cup final?

The draw is very finely balanced. However, at a push, the South American teams – Argentina and Brazil – have the marginally easier route to the final. But, of course, being on the same side of the draw, they would face each other in the semi-final.
