Oh and there's the small matter of two more quarter-finals later today.
Of course we'll have all the best build-up before England's mouthwatering tie against the World Cup holders France.
And we'll see if Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal can fight off the Atlas Lions as Morocco aim to become the first African nation to reach the semi-finals of a World Cup.
