Welcome to the big leagues. Every four years, at this exact stage of the World Cup, legends are made. Players announce themselves onto the world stage, or push themselves into a whole new bracket of superstardom.
Your quarter finals are: France v Morocco. Can the world's best attack featuring - Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele and Michael Olise - conquer a Moroccan side that have been steadily growing for the last six years. Can Achraf Hakimi's organised, exciting side cause the upset to end all upsets?
Lamine Yamal is still waiting for his World Cup moment - is he waiting until it really matters to turn on the style? Spain have made the tournament look relatively easy so far - but Belgium have grown into it, using the controversy in their match-up with the USMNT as fuel to overpower the host nation.
In arguably the most exciting quarter-final fixture, Norway take on England - two of the world's best strikers - in Erling Haaland and Harry Kane - will be aiming to outshoot each other in a fixture littered with intrigue and excitement. Will Jude Bellingham be the answer again though?
