Tomorrow morning, the Football World Cup quarter finals take place. These are the games that pundits are saying could decide the winner, with Brazil up against Belgium and France playing Uruguay.

England fans will also like their chances to "bring it home" against Sweden, and Russia and Croatia round out the top eight.

So who's getting through and who's the favourite now?

Former Liverpool-signed goalkeeper Chris Pile told Larry Williams thinks that Sweden will be a real challenge for England.

"Colombia didn't want to play football, they wanted to upset England. I think Sweden will want to play football from the first whistle." 

He thinks it will be the end of the tournament for Russia.
