Tonight's World Cup contests feature an Iberian derby between Portugal and Spain in the last 16, alongside the USA's bid to progress past this stage for only the third time.
First up, Dallas is the stage for two traditional rivals to go head-to-head as Portugal meet Spain. It's a rematch of last year's UEFA Nations League Final, which saw the Portuguese claim the trophy on penalties.
Spain are yet to concede a single goal in the tournament, and are bidding to add the World Cup to their European Championship success in 2024. It's Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lamine Yamal, a clash between two superstars at opposite ends of record-breaking careers.
In the early hours for a UK audience, co-hosts USA face Belgium at Seattle Stadium. Mauricio Pochettino's team have been boosted by the controversial overturning of Folarin Balogun's suspension, with the leading scorer free to feature.
Belgium broke Senegalese hearts in the previous round with a stirring late fightback, ending the World Cup campaigns of Idrissa Gana Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye.
