The 2026 FIFA World Cup has reached the quarterfinals, and as usual, Western Europe still has a big continent.

Cup holders Argentina and Leonel Messi barely made it, but they did, while one of the biggest surprises left, Norway, has looked superb in the knockout rounds.

The four quarterfinals play out over three days following the first off day of the tournament, on Wednesday, July 8. Every game will be televised on both FOX and Telemundo.
