With the World Cup now well beyond the quarter-final stage, it is now time to take a look back an assess the performances that we have witnessed in the last few days, with a little help from 'ProFootballDB'.

France, Belgium, England and Croatia are the four teams that still retain hopes of claiming the title of world's best. All four secured safe passage to the semi-finals, albeit in very different circumstances.

England eased past Sweden, who barely laid a glove on the 'Three Lions' throughout, whilst Croatia saw off a valiant Russia on penalties.
