Spanish boss Fernando Hierro does not believe Spain’s ugly track record against World Cup hosts—the side has never beaten one—will be a factor on Sunday (via IndianExpress.com):
Records are there to be broken. We have everything very clearly in mind. Why are we looking in the rear view mirror? Why are we looking at the past? It’s all about tomorrow, 5 p.m. Everything else is completely irrelevant. Football is made of mistakes and the team that makes fewer mistakes probably wins. We need to avoid mistakes.
Olyseum pointed out the meaning for each team involved in this contest:
#Spain vs #Russia in a game that has everything on the line for both. #ESP ending its golden generation and #RUS representing their host country and leaving with their heads held high, in the round of 16 in the #WorldCuphttps://t.co/CLc6bkpvKmpic.twitter.com/RRsT40REIp

Russia head coach Stanislav Cherchesov said he’s seen a change in how Spain plays under their former coach—Julen Lopetegui, who was sacked right before the World Cup—and their current boss (via BBC):
Spain play football that is clear to us. It's difficult to find ways to deal with it but we'll try. We've played against (former Spain head coach) Julen Lopetegui's men and now we can see changes under Fernando Hierro. I won't go into detail but the team plays differently.
OptaJose called attention to the brilliant form of Spanish forward Iago Aspas:

Spain defender Dani Carvajal knows the stakes of the knockout stage (via BBC):
From now on the games are life or death, you can't play for a draw, you either win or you go home. I think these games are going to be different and we will recover our best form.
Croatia vs. Denmark
Denmark midfielder Thomas Delaney confirmed his side would not continue to play the same style that it employed against the French to secure a Round of 16 berth (via BBC):
We know that we don't seem like the most fearsome bunch to go up against. We're not going to lose 5-0 by trying to play tiki-taka football. But people shouldn't get used to seeing us play like we did against France. It's seldom that we play like this, and the game against Croatia will be a very different spectacle.
Goal.com tweeted a clip of Ivan Rakitic calling teammate Luka Modric the nation’s greatest player ever:

Danish boss Age Hareide believes fans will see a different side of his squad on Sunday and expects the stars to determine the outcome (via Today.ng):
I think you will see a different Denmark from what you have seen so far and the type of game we have played. Yes, we need to defend but we need to attack more. It could be a match between Modric and Eriksen, that would be interesting, that would be great for the fans.
Hotspur Hacker quoted Modric’s praise of Danish talisman Christian Eriksen:
Modrić on Eriksen: 'He's an excellent player, world class. He's had a phenomenal season at Tottenham and I'm sure he's their best player, he's the most important player for Denmark.' pic.twitter.com/deeVboLPsd

Croatian coach Zlatko Dalic stated that his team’s group stage performance means little if they go on to lose in the Round of 16 (via Today.ng):
We have no pressure coming from the outside, our greatest pressure comes from ourselves. We've come to perform well, to achieve something. In the group stage we played well but it will mean nothing if we do not verify that tomorrow.
OptaJoe found that Croatia’s group stage run was unprecedented in the country’s World Cup history:

Croatia midfielder Ivan Rakitic discussed his country’s third-place team from 20 years ago and believes it is time for this group to make their own history (via BBC):
We know the team from 1998 was great, they were all our idols and they showed the way for each Croatian team afterwards. But we need to forget about that and write our own story at this tournament. God willing we can achieve the same result, or maybe even more.
