2014 World Cup LIVE: Day 24 as it happens

The two remaining quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup take centre on Day 24 as Argentina take on Belgium and the Netherlands lock horns with the tournament's surprise package Costa Rica.

Much of the focus will again be on Lionel Messi as the Barcelona superstar looks to fire Argentina into the last four at the expense of Belgium, who have won all four of their games in Brazil.

The late game then sees the Dutch, tipped by many to claim a first ever World Cup crown, take on Costa Rica. Will they be able to find a way past the goalkeeper of the tournament so far?

DAY 23 - RECAP

All the headlines today have been dominated by the news that Brazil's star man Neymar will miss the rest of the tournament after suffering a fractured vertebrae.

The 22-year-old had to be stretchered off in his side's 2-1 win over Colombia and is likely to be sidelined for between 4-6 weeks.
