England – France
- Saturday, December 10th at 8:00 p.m
- Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor
40 years after the last direct duel at a World Cup, the paths of England and France cross again on the biggest possible stage. Both previous clashes at world championships went to the British. In 1982 in Spain, the “Three Lions” prevailed 3-1, and in 1966 at the home World Cup, the eventual world champions retained the upper hand 2-0. The quarter-finals in Qatar will be the first duel between the two European heavyweights in a World Cup knockout phase.
The last game between England and France dates from 2017. In June 2017, the “Équipe Tricolore” won a friendly at the Stade de France in Paris 3-2.

Argentina – Netherlands
- Friday, December 9 at 8:00 p.m
- Lusail Stadium, Lusail
Argentina versus the Netherlands – this duel has already taken place five times at World Cups. The two nations met three times in the knockout phase. While “Oranje” prevailed in the quarter-finals in 1998 (2-1), the other two duels went to the “Albiceleste”. In 1978, Argentina secured their first of two World Cup titles in the final against the Dutch. In 2014 they prevailed in the semifinals after a penalty shootout.
Since then, the two nations have not met again. A lot has happened in the Netherlands since then. While 8 years ago Robin van Persie, Wesley Sneijder or Arjen Robben scored the goals, the big star among the Argentines was already Lionel Messi.
