The 2018 FIFA World Cup is down to eight teams and we've got two scintillating quarterfinal matches this Friday. First up is France vs. Uruguay, followed by Brazil vs. Belgium. All of these teams are capable of winning the World Cup.

France features a potent attack led by Paul Pogba, Antoine Griezmann and breakout teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe, who torched Argentina earlier this week. The big question mark for Uruguay is whether Edinson Cavani can play. After netting both goals in his team's win over Portugual, the Paris Saint-Germain star sustained a calf injury and is in jeopardy of missing this match. He returned to training on Thursday but his status remains in doubt. Girona's Christian Stuani will most likely take his place if he can't play.

Here's how you can watch the match and more. On TV it will only be carried on FS1 and Telemundo, not Fox. (Note: CNET may get a commission from subscriptions placed through services featured in this article.)
