Thereâs something strange about this World Cup, but somehow everyone is pretending it looks normal.
France are fighting for their lives in the Round of 16.
Brazil already had a tough first knockout game.
England have a serious opponent in the Round of 16.
Portugal had a difficult group and now have Spain waiting.
Every big team has had to suffer somewhere.
Except one.
One team has somehow been given a clean road straight to the quarter-finals, and weâre meant to believe itâs just coincidence.
