Welcome to our coverage
Hello and welcome to our blog.
We will be covering all the action as Spain take on Belgium in the World Cup quarter-final, which will kick off at 5 AM AEST.
Spain took down neighbour Portugal 1-0 in the Round of 16, sending one of the world's most decorated footballers, 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, home from a World Cup for the final time.
La Roja won the Cup in South Africa in 2010, but they scraped through against Portugal with a goal at 90+1 minutes. Can Spain go all the way?
They'll be taking on an in-form Belgium, fresh from their domination of the USA in their Round of 16 clash.
Their 4-1 win over the World Cup hosts will fill the team with confidence as they prepare for Spain.
It could go any way really and we're here for it.
