Brazil and Nigeria remain firm favourites in the competition, having each scored 18 goals through the group stage and the first knockout round.
Meanwhile, doubts remain for holders and pre-tournament favourites Mexico, who were hammered 6-1 by Nigeria in their opening match but bounced back to qualify and then beat Italy 2-0 in the round of 16.

Brazil’s 3-1 second round win over European Champions Russia does little to quell the argument that they, unlike Nigeria, have yet to face a tough opponent, after off-form Russia lost their opening two group games.
Likewise, Uruguay will be left with similar question marks after they were held to a tame 1-1 by Ivory Coast draw in the group stage.
Honduras plays Sweden on Friday from 5pm in Al Ain, while Brazil and Mexico meet the same evening at 8pm in Dubai. On Saturday, Argentina play the Ivory Coast from 5pm in Sharjah and Uruguay face Nigeria from 8pm.
