Eight teams have survived some exciting battles in the group stage and first knockout round of the 2014 World Cup and with the coveted title already on the horizon, all four quarter-final matches should prove to be nervy affairs and very tight games.

With that in mind, it is time to note that bet365 is refunding all losing bets on selected markets in case the match is goalless after ninety minutes. Simply place First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Anytime Goalscorer, Half-Time/Full-Time, Correct Score or Scorecast bets on any of the quarter-final games, and if that match ends goalless, your full stake will be refunded as part of the Bore Draw Money Back promotion.

Jamie Carragher believes Gareth Southgate should remain in charge of England despite their Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain.

Southgate led England to back-to-back European Championship finals, but suffered the same outcome in both as the Three Lions wait for an international honour goes on.

Under his tenure, England have reached more major tournament finals in four attempts (two) than they did in their first 23 appearances at the World Cup and Euros (one).

But the loss saw Southgate become the first manager in European Championship history to end on the losing side in two finals in what may be his final game in charge of the Three Lions.

Wayne Rooney came off the bench to make his final international appearance as England beat the United States 3-0 in a friendly at Wembley on this day in 2018.

Earning a 120th and final cap, the former England captain was brought on for Jesse Lingard in the 57th minute, bringing down a distinguished international career.

Making his first appearance for England in two years, he nearly scored just minutes after coming on, but goals from Lingard, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Callum Wilson were enough to end his England career on a high.

At the time of his retirement, Rooney was the record goalscorer for England with 53 goals, an achievement which has since been overtaken by Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane, who currently has 61 international goals to his name.

Lionel Messi notched a 20th assist of the season to help a lacklustre Barcelona secure a 1-0 win away to Real Valladolid on Saturday, maintaining the pressure on La Liga leaders Real Madrid.
Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal struck the only goal of the game in the 15th minute, firing into the net off the post after being played in by Messi, who now has almost as many assists in the league as his 22 goals. Yet Barça failed to build on their early advantage and were forced to grind out the victory. Valladolid were twice foiled by Marc-André ter Stegen.

The win takes second-placed Barcelona on to 79 points after 36 games, one behind Real Madrid who can restore their four-point advantage when they visit Granada on Monday.
