Netherlands vs. Argentina
Keane: "I’m gonna go with Argentina, we’ve said it all along. Netherlands have been fine, but Argentina have got momentum after a really shocking start - and they’ve got Messi on the pitch."
Neville: "I've watched Argentina three times. Other than Messi, I think they’re really average but you get the feeling they’ll do anything to win.

"They’ve got a little bit of the devil in them and then they’ve got the guy up front [Messi] who is just unbelievable.
"I’ll go Netherlands because I feel like if one team can structurally keep Messi out, they’ll win."
Richards: "So I get the deciding vote? We want Argentina v Brazil [in the semi-finals]. I’m getting Argentina up there!"
Croatia vs. Brazil

Neville: "All day long, Brazil!"
Keane: "Croatia have got that fighting spirit. It won’t be enough, though."
Richards: "Yeah, Casemiro’s been brilliant and Paqueta’s been class!"
England vs. France

Neville: "If England play France with their current teams 10 times, I think France win six or seven."
Keane: "Kylian Mbappe’s the best player in the world, although I think England’s attacking players will get a bit of joy."
Richards: "I’m 50/50. I think the game all depends on the first goal."
Neville: "I hope we’re wrong."
Morocco vs. Portugal
Richards: "Well this is one quarter-final we didn’t predict!"
Neville: "How good was [Goncalo] Ramos, by the way [in Portugal’s last-16 victory over Switzerland]? To come from nowhere after just 30 minutes of international football is stunning!"
Keane: "And then you’ve [Cristiano] Ronaldo off the bench!"
Neville: "He could come on and win the tournament for Portugal. I hope he does! If England don’t win it, I’d like Ronaldo to win the tournament."
Keane: "We’re going Portugal, aren’t we?"
Argentina vs. Brazil
Richards: "This is where it gets tasty! It’s too hard to pick this, isn’t it?"
Neville: "I want Brazil to win. They’re the better team. They play with more flair. I wanna see the dancing again and just see how that goes!"
Keane: "I’ve gone off Brazil because of the dancing!"
Neville: "It’s a game that’s gonna be watched by every football fan around the world, bar none."
France vs. Portugal
Keane: "I’m sticking with France so it’s up to yourselves..."
Neville: "If I’m knocking England out, then I’m going with France."
Brazil vs. France
Neville: "There she is. What a final. Mbappe versus Neymar. I think Brazil are winning this World Cup."
Richards: "Yeah, they’ve got the best team."
Keane: "They’re the best dancers!"
Richards: "Come on Roy. Give us a jig. You said it was all it the hips, right?"
Richards: "So what are we saying? The winners..."
Neville: "Brazil."
Keane: "I’ll forgive them for the dancing if they win the final!"
Neville: "I hope we’re wrong, by the way, and England end up in the middle there."
