2026 World Cup Round of 32: Confirmed schedule, results, predictions for first knockout round
Here's all of the confirmed matches for the World Cup Round of 32, with predictions on every game.
The last 16 of the World Cup is set and some of soccer’s biggest sides are still fighting for the title. All three co-hosts are still present too, with the U.S. facing Belgium, Canada taking on Morocco and Mexico hosting England at the Azteca.
Mexico and England have advanced to set up a highly anticipated World Cup round of 16 game on July 5. Here are the early odds, picks and predictions:
Switzerland will lean on Breel Embolo's strength and movement to create chances, while Algeria possess enough attacking quality to answer through Riyad Mahrez, who remains their most dangerous player in the final third. A 1-1 or 2-1 type of game feels very much in play, making both goalscorers an appealing long-shot same-game parlay.
