World Cup 2026: Two countries eliminated from Round of 32

Two countries have been eliminated from the ongoing World Cup Round of 32 stage.

They are Japan and South Africa, respectively.

Japan is the latest country to be sent packing out of the competition after losing 2-1 against Brazil on Monday.

Recall that two goals from Casemiro and Gabriel Martinelli gave Brazil the victory against Japan, as Kaishu Sano’s goal was not enough.

Japan has now joined South Africa in exiting the World Cup tournament.

Recall that the Bafana Bafana had lost 1-0 against Canada on Sunday, and as a result, they were eliminated from the competition.
