Eliminated by Croatia in the last-4. Twice defeated by Belgium (group stage and 3rd place game). One compelling win in the quarter-finals against a good Swedish team.

Apart from Sweden, the other quarter-finalists were Uruguay (France), Brazil (Belgium, as already seen) and the hosts Russia, winners of Spain (which got rid of his headcoach 2 days before the start of the tournament) in the Round of 16 after a quite tranquilous group stage phase (wins over Saudi Arabia and Egypt, defeat to Uruguay) and finally beaten by Croatia in a penalty shoot-out.

Honorable mention to the Japan team (round of 16).
