Farewell to Uruguay and Brazil left America without a representative and they turned the World Cup into a European monologue. Africa disappointed without participating in the knockout phase, while Asia held out with Japan until the eighth.

In Russia-2018 the organization and the coldness of the teams of the Old Continent are worth monopolize the four places of semi-finals for the fifth time. history Before that, in 1934, 1966, 1982 and 2006.

The quarter-final stage was also marked by the prominent role of the defenders and the top notes. Seven of the 11 goals came with the lead and four defensemen sent the ball to the back of the net.

This is the best eleven games that have defined the four best teams in the World Cup:

Thibaut Courtois (Belgium / 26 years old): made eight saves to save his team when Brazil attacked his goal. The Chelsea goalkeeper looked even better in the final minutes, especially in an extraordinary save before a shot from Neymar. The Red Devils must at least have saved the extension. Courtois is the third goalkeeper with the most backups in the entire World Cup.

Harry Maguire (England / 25 years): Fundamental in the defensive work that left Sweden in just six goal attempts. The center of Leicester City scored its first goal with the selection of a spectacular head that opened the account in the game for half an hour.

Raphael Varane (France / 25 years): Like Maguire, his goal began the path of victory. The Real Madrid defender has achieved the miracle of winning from the top to the back charrúa. Back, his speed and his good positioning allowed Luisito Suarez to cancel and leave the goal for the third time in the World Cup for France.

Damagoj Vida (Croatia / 29 years old): Like all Croats, he suffered the physical wear of two consecutive extensions. But Damagoj was pure life for Croatia. First with a head that seemed sufficient to give victory to the Balkans and then score a key penalty during the shoot.

Luka Modric (Croatia / 32 years old): FIFA nominated him for the third time best player of the match during this World Cup. Only he and Harry Kane realized an MVP trio. And is it the presence of Modric in these ideal boring teams. Because the Croatian captain is always there when his team needs a clean pbad, a break, an exploit. Against Russia, he asked for the ball even when he could not walk. He is the player with more minutes played in the entire tournament (485). If he qualifies for the finals, he will be the number one candidate for the Russia-2018 Gold Ball.

Jesse Lingard (England / 25): He drew a nice curve to place the ball on the head of Dele Alli and condemn the Swedes. The young Manchester United playmaker is at a brilliant moment, which has served to brighten the dizzying England.

Eden Hazard (Belgium / 27 years old): Subtle was his way of disturbing the Brazilians. No other Belgian player took advantage of Casemiro's absence. Whenever the ball reached its feet, the rivals' seconds pbaded as if they were hours. The "10" dribbled at will in front of the confused gaze of Fernandinho, Miranda, Paulinho or anyone trying to stop him. His match was a tutorial on "how to handle game times."

Kevin de Bruyne (Belgium / 27 years old): He scored a big goal, which was enough to be chosen as the best player of the match by FIFA. Kevin's tweaks were a work of art. With his ability to unbalance, the Red Devils counter-attacks were still dangerous

Denis Chérychev (Russia / 27 years): He left the World Cup with another superb performance. He scored four times and in three of them he made real goals. Against Croatia, he deceived the host country with a missile in the 31st minute that left Subašić perplexed. Cherychev's speed boosted the counterattacks of the host country, which surprised him when he was replaced at 67..

Romelu Lukaku (Belgium / 25 years): Understanding the victory of Belgium over Brazil despite the fact The losers finished the triple (27-9), we must review the game of the second goal, the decisive . Lukaku took the ball a few yards from the area defended by Courtois, returned and started the race. The Manchester United striker weighs 210 pounds and measures 1.91 meters, but he is fast and competent. In the action that unbalanced the shock, he got rid of any yellow shirt that tried to stop him and crossed a perfect ball for Kevin de Bruyne 's entry.

Antoine Griezmann (France / 27 years old): Presence, goal and MVP. This is the summary of the match played by Atlético de Madrid against Uruguay. As a gentleman, he did not celebrate Muslera's singing. Before, he had placed a center just in the place that Varane should run. Elegant match of the French star. (Taken from Cubadebate)
