The moment of TRUTH has arrived.
All the matchups for the Round of 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup were set after the final group-stage matches.
This Saturday (27), for example, was a day of celebration for DR Congo as they advanced to the knockout stage.
And of disappointment for Iran, who needed Algeria versus Austria to have a winner in order to qualify among the eight best third-placed teams.
Something that ALMOST happened after a WILD 3-3 draw with two goals after 90′.
🐐 Messi sets ANOTHER record by scoring his 19th World Cup goal
Check below for the matchups and the possible paths all the way to the grand final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium.

Including the possibility of MASSIVE matchups as early as the Round of 16.
The other side has Brazil, England, Argentina and Colombia.
And there are NINE African teams among the 32. Only Tunisia missed out.
