That is why this page sits well next to the full schedule page. The schedule shows every Round of 16 slot. This page keeps the focus on the teams through and the fixtures confirmed.
Canada and Morocco are already through to Match 90. Canada beat South Africa 1-0 in Inglewood, while Morocco eliminated the Netherlands on penalties after a 1-1 draw. That means Houston already has one complete Round of 16 pairing.
Paraguay and France are already through to Match 89. Paraguay knocked out Germany on penalties after a 1-1 draw, and France beat Sweden 3-0. Philadelphia is therefore one of the first Round of 16 dates that already has both teams confirmed.
Brazil and Norway are already through to Match 91. Brazil beat Japan 2-1, and Norway beat Côte d'Ivoire 2-1. East Rutherford now has one of the clearest confirmed Round of 16 pairings.
Mexico and England are already through to Match 92. Mexico beat Ecuador 2-0, and England beat DR Congo 2-1. That pairing stands out because Match 92 will be played at Estadio Azteca.
Belgium and the United States are already through to Match 94. Belgium needed extra time to beat Senegal 3-2, while the United States beat Bosnia & Herzegovina 2-0. Seattle now has a confirmed Round of 16 matchup with plenty of attention around it.

Remaining Round of 16 source matches are complete
All Round of 16 lanes are now fixed after the July 3 results
| Match | Fixture | Which Round of 32 games decide it |
|---|---|---|
| Match 95 | Argentina vs Egypt | Argentina won Match 86 and Egypt won Match 88. |
| Match 96 | Switzerland vs Colombia | Switzerland won Match 85 and Colombia won Match 87. |
With all Round of 32 results complete, every Round of 16 fixture is now confirmed for the first knockout day.
A page like this is useful because the bracket reads differently once teams move from possible to confirmed. A schedule slot such as Winner Match 79 vs Winner Match 80 tells you one thing. Mexico vs England tells you much more.
The same logic applies to team pages and match pages. Once a team is already through, readers stop asking only whether it survived. They start asking where it goes next, which city it travels to, and which side of the draw is already forming around it.
That is especially true now because all eight Round of 16 fixtures are fixed: Canada vs Morocco, Paraguay vs France, Brazil vs Norway, Mexico vs England, Portugal vs Spain, United States vs Belgium, Argentina vs Egypt and Switzerland vs Colombia.
