World Cup Day 22

No matches today so I will preview the last two quarterfinal match ups. In the first match on Saturday Sweden will take on England. England is the heavy favorite in this match but do not count out Sweden for there have played well so far in this tournament. England on the other hand has lost one match already and required a penalty shootout win just to advance to this round. In the second match Russia will take on Croatia. Both teams needed a shootout win to make it to this round. The Russians are the home team and therefore should not be counted out even if they are the underdog.
