Why is there no World Cup game today? The reason for the break
If you looked for FIFA World Cup matches today and couldn’t find any, that’s because there really aren’t any!
The ball has stopped rolling strategically. This one-day break happens right after the end of the Round of 16 to give the national teams the minimum necessary rest and align the schedule for the next stage.
But the quarter-finals return this Thursday (9), opening the matchups with France vs. Morocco.
End of the Round of 16
The final two teams to qualify were decided on Tuesday in dramatic fashion:
Argentina 3 x 2 Egypt: In a tense match, Argentina advanced with goals from Romero, Messi, and Enzo Fernández.
Egypt pulled two back through Yasser Ibrahim and Ziko, but were ultimately eliminated (and had plenty of complaints about the refereeing).
Switzerland 0 (x) 0 Colombia: After a goalless draw in regular time and extra time, the Swiss came out on top in the penalty shootout.
Quarter-finals schedule
09/07 (Thursday), at 5:00 PM: France vs. Morocco
10/07 (Friday), at 4:00 PM: Spain vs. Belgium
11/07 (Saturday), at 6:00 PM: Norway vs. England
11/07 (Saturday), at 10:00 PM: Argentina vs. Switzerland
Road to the final
The semi-final bracket is already set. The matchups cross over as follows:
The winner of France vs. Morocco will face whoever advances from Spain vs. Belgium.
On the other side, the team that advances from Norway vs. England will take on the survivor of Argentina vs. Switzerland.
