The last 16 of the 2026 World Cup starts with two compelling ties that deserve your attention for different reasons. Canada face Morocco in a match that will see the co-hosts play another match outside their own country (work that one out) while France can further cement their favorite status against Paraguay.
Had Jonathan Tah’s header stood in the previous round, France might have come up against Germany in the round of 16. As it is, Paraguay will face Kylian Mbappe and co. looking to recycle the game plan that frustrated, and ultimately got the better of, the four-times World Cup winners.
