Four teams have now already earned spots in the quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup Teams. Today's matches between Brazil and South Korea and Japan and Croatia will determine two more teams' advancement to the quarterfinal rounds. Each team that wins its match during the round of 16 stage is regarded as qualifying for the quarterfinals. Extra time will be used to decide the winner if any of the games are tied after regulation. In the event that neither team wins after extra time, the winner will be decided by penalties.
