No Cristiano Ronaldo, no Lionel Messi and no idea where the World Cup trophy is going to end up.

That was the takeaway from the first day of round of 16 action when France became the first team to book their spot in the quarter-finals by beating Argentina on Saturday night before the European champions Portugal were sent packing by Uruguay to set-up a mouth-watering tie in the next round.

Sunday brings us two more big games with a place in the quarters at stake: Russia v Spain followed by Croatia v Denmark.

The hosts were not tipped by everyone to still be in at by this point and the team will want to ride the wave of support seen across the country. In their way stands a Spain team that appears to have weathered the storm of losing their coach on the eve of the World Cup and stuttering through their three group games.

Spain are expected to win ($1.62 with the bookies) when the teams meet at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium with Russia a long shot at $7. The game being level at 90 minutes is $4.05.
