Eight teams have punched their ticket to the quarterfinals of the 2022 FIFAWorldCup, so let’s rank the four matchups.
That lack of scoring could play a factor against a Brazilian side that has largely held firm in their defensive third. Brazil did not concede a goal or a shot on target with its A-team against Serbia and Switzerland, and the Seleção cruised to a 4-1 win over South Korea in the round of 16. All four goals came in the first half, and South Korea’s lone goal was a stunner from outside the box that partially deflected off a defender’s back.
Portugal also have the advantage of rest as Santos subbed off his best players with time to spare, whereas Morocco will have fitness issues after 120 minutes of mostly defending. Center backs Nayef Aguerd and Romain Saïss most notably dealt with lower-leg issues late in the game. Does Morocco have one more upset in store?Two renowned international powerhouses will be going at it in what should be a tight affair.
