0:00 36:49

Day 26 saw European dominance in the last 16 continue at the World Cup.

Jimbo is joined by Tom Williams and Felipe Cardenas in Los Angeles with three of the four quarter-finals now set in stone.

After all the controversy, the USA’s World Cup adventure ends at the hands of a resurgent Belgium.

They will take on Spain, who beat Portugal thanks to a last-gasp Mikel Merino goal. And so ends Roberto Martinez’s tenure as Portugal manager and Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup career. How will we remember him?

24 hours on, Natalie Gedra is still trying to digest Brazil’s exit at the hands of Norway and what Carlo Ancelotti can do to bring the good times back.

Plus we look ahead to the final last 16 ties with holders Argentina facing Egypt, and Colombia taking on Switzerland. Are we all underestimating the Swiss? David Lemos has more.
