FIFA World Cup Russia 2018

The Round of 16 Knockouts of the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 continues with the Spanish taking on the formidable Russians while the Croatians taking on the Denmark.

Both games ended in draw but since this is the Round of 16, post-game penalties served as the decider and in the first one, the Russians are advancing to the quarters with four penalty kicks over Spain's three. In the match between Croatia vs. Denmark, meanwhile, Croatia won by three penalty kicks over two from the Danes.

There's so much to question about the Russians' performance apart from being the hosting team that swept through the competition but let's leave it for now because the next match of the Knockouts will see Brazil taking on Mexico and Belgium taking on Japan.
