BeSoccer's World Cup Round of 16 XI

After a group stage chock full of upsets, the second round of the 2018 World Cup was relatively unsurprising. The biggest shock was Spain's elimination at the hands of Russia, while Croatia just scraped past Denmark on penalties.

Belgium came close to being knocked out by Japan, but were saved by a late comeback, and England's game also went to a penalty shootout, where they edged out Colombia.
