The 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia continues to roll on, with the field beginning to shrink as the Round of 16 approaches. The knockout stage of the tournament officially kicks off on Saturday, June 30, and runs through Tuesday, July 3. The quarterfinals then take place the following weekend, before the semifinals are held on Tuesday, July 10 and Wednesday, July 11. The World Cup Final will take place Sunday, July 15.
The championship match will take place at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. The venue previously played home to the 1999 UEFA Cup Final and 2008 UEFA Champions League Final. While it is not the primary home stadium for any club, Luzhniki Stadium has hosted CSKA Moscow, Spartak Mosco, Torpedo Moscow, and the Russian national team.
Currently, the teams that have punched their ticket to the Round of 16 are Uruguay, Portugal, France, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, Russia, Croatia, Denmark, Sweden, and Switzerland. Colombia advanced as the winners of Group H, while Japan edged out Senegal due to FIFA Fair Play Points.
The final two spots in the Round of 16 went to Belgium and England, with The Red Devils earning the first-place finish in the group.
