Brazil face Croatia and Qatar revenge is in the air
World Cup quarter-finals arrive Thursday
Four matches, eight teams, and one clear subplot for you: Qatar revenge. Brazil face Croatia in a rematch few in Doha will forget, and the BBC is calling it exactly that, a grudge match (2). The 2022 ghosts are not done yet.
Morocco carry Africa into the last eight
Morocco meet France in a quarter-final on your soil, and the Guardian frames it as a moment for an entire continent: 'Morocco set a proud example for Africa' (3). No African side has ever reached a World Cup semi-final. That door is open now, and it opens in Qatar.
