Your World Cup team's been knocked out. Who should you support now?

So, your team of choice has been knocked out of the World Cup. You want to keep watching, but you need a rooting interest to stay invested.

The idea of supporting any team but your own may be unfathomable to some, but we're not going to call you a fair-weather fan. In fact, we're here to help, with a handy guide to the quarterfinalists.

We've included the odds of each team winning the final, based on the consensus of various U.S. sportsbooks as of Wednesday, and even thrown in the chants you need to fit right in. Here are your eight options, in alphabetical order.

ODDS OF LIFTING THE TROPHY: +400 (bet $10, win $40)

STAR PLAYER: Have you heard of this man called Lionel Messi?

WHAT TO KNOW: The Argentines are looking to become the first nation to retain the men's World Cup title since Brazil in 1962. Messi — yes, him — is the World Cup's all-time leading scorer with 21 goals and has a tournament-topping eight goals this year.

CHANT OF CHOICE: “Vamos, vamos Argentina” (“Let's go, Argentina”)

CHOOSE THIS TEAM IF YOU LIKE: Safe bets, flavorful steak, supremely talented No. 10s.

ODDS OF LIFTING THE TROPHY: 30-1 (bet $10, win $300)

STAR PLAYERS: Kevin De Bruyne, Thibaut Courtois

WHAT TO KNOW: The Belgians eliminated the United States in the round of 16 — and many around the world felt justice was served following President Donald Trump's intervention to get Folarin Balogun back in the U.S. team lineup for the match. There were low pre-tournament expectations around Belgium, with so few of its longtime stalwarts remaining in the squad.

CHANT OF CHOICE: “Waar is dat feestje” (Where is the party”) or “Tous ensemble” (“All together”)

CHOOSE THIS TEAM IF YOU LIKE: Waffles, chocolate, topical dance celebrations, long-lasting yet underperforming golden generations.

ODDS OF LIFTING THE TROPHY: +450 (bet $10, win $45)

STAR PLAYERS: Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham

WHAT TO KNOW: It hasn't been spoken about much ... but England's men's team hasn't won a major tournament since the 1966 World Cup. The English invented soccer but have rarely been the best at it.

CHANT OF CHOICE: “It's coming home”

CHOOSE THIS TEAM IF YOU LIKE: Oasis, lions, fish and chips, decades of pain.

ODDS OF LIFTING THE TROPHY: +180 (bet $10, win $18)

STAR PLAYERS: Kylian Mbappé, Michael Olise

WHAT TO KNOW: France was the champion in 2018, the runner-up in 2022 and many people's favorite this year. France's departing coach, Didier Deschamps, is already a World Cup great, having won the title as France's captain in 1998 and led the team to the trophy 20 years later.

CHANT OF CHOICE: “Allez les bleus” (“Go Blues”)

CHOOSE THIS TEAM IF YOU LIKE: Baguettes, big towers, Champagne, fearsome attacks.

ODDS OF LIFTING THE TROPHY: 27-1 (bet $10, win $270)

STAR PLAYERS: Achraf Hakimi, Yassine Bounou

WHAT TO KNOW: In 2022, Morocco became the first African or Arab nation to reach the World Cup semifinals in a seminal moment for the sport. The Moroccans can do it again four years later — but they'll need to beat the same team, France, that eliminated them in the semis four years ago.

CHANT OF CHOICE: “Dima Maghrib” (“Morocco Forever”)

CHOOSE THIS TEAM IF YOU LIKE: Deserts, souks, underdogs.

ODDS OF LIFTING THE TROPHY: 14-1 (bet $10, win $140)

STAR PLAYERS: Erling Haaland, Martin Odegaard

WHAT TO KNOW: The Norwegians are playing at their first men's World Cup since 1998 and have never gotten this far. Both in stadiums and back home, their fans have become synonymous with their Viking Row performances.

CHANT OF CHOICE: “Ro! Ro!” (“Row! Row!”)

CHOOSE THIS TEAM IF YOU LIKE: Rowing, Snapchat, big blond strikers, beating Brazil.

ODDS OF LIFTING THE TROPHY: +360 (bet $10, win $36)

STAR PLAYERS: Lamine Yamal, Rodri

WHAT TO KNOW: Spain hasn't conceded a goal this tournament — yep, not even one in five games. And in Yamal, the team has a winger who was a 16-year-old revelation on its way to winning the European Championship in 2024. It's his birthday on Monday, when he'll be the veteran age of 19.

CHANT OF CHOICE: “Lolololo”

CHOOSE THIS TEAM IF YOU LIKE: Tapas, shutouts, possession soccer, precocious wingers.

ODDS OF LIFTING THE TROPHY: The Swiss are the longest shot on the board in many sportsbooks. They are 30-1 or more depending on the location.

STAR PLAYERS: Granit Xhaka, Johan Manzambi

WHAT TO KNOW: The Swiss are consistently good at the European Championship tournament and are now finally breaking through at World Cup, reaching the quarterfinals for the first time in 72 years. They are tough to beat in 90 minutes.

CHANT OF CHOICE: “Hopp Schwiiz” or “Hop Suisse” (“Go Switzerland”)

CHOOSE THIS TEAM IF YOU LIKE: Roger Federer, multiple national languages, more cowbell, immigration, good public transport.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alan Roden hit a game-winning RBI single in the ninth inning as the Minnesota Twins beat Cleveland 6-5 on Wednesday night for their fourth straight win over the Guardians.

The Twins have won four in a row and five of six overall.

Roden singled twice and drove in two runs. Kody Clemens went 3 for 4 with a double and an RBI, and Brooks Lee singled twice and drove in a pair of runs.

Yoendrys Gómez (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for his first win this season.

Brayan Rocchio and Rhys Hoskins homered for the Guardians.

Chase DeLauter singled to lead off the fourth before Rocchio hit a 401-foot homer off Twins starter Connor Prielipp. Hoskins followed with a solo shot, his second straight game with a homer.

But, the Twins answered in the bottom half of the inning.

Lee, Clemens and Josh Bell singled to load the bases with no outs. Lee scored when Royce Lewis walked, Luke Keaschall followed with a sacrifice fly that scored Clemens, and Roden added an RBI single that made it 3-all.

Cleveland's Kahlil Watson walked on four pitches to leadoff the seventh and then stole second base before Steven Kwan walked. DeLauter singled, driving in Watson, and Kwan scored on a sacrifice bunt by Rocchio.

Keaschall and Ryan Kreidler walked before Erik Sabrowski replaced Shawn Armstrong with one out in the bottom half. Pinch-hitter Austin Martin walked on four pitches to load the bases before Lee drew another walk, scoring Keaschall. Clemens walked, scoring Kreidler, making it 5-all.

Prielipp allowed three runs and had six strikeouts in five innings.

Indians RHP Gavin Williams (9-4, 3.89 ERA) starts Thursday opposite Twins RHP Bailey Ober (6-3, 4.59), who returns after nearly six weeks on the injured list.
