Ronaldo vs Messi, Brazil-England and Germany-France. The national teams learn the way to the trophy

The 2026 World Cup is entering its hottest phase with direct elimination, where the first 28 qualified national teams have already been determined and 9 matches have been scheduled.

On the right side of the table, Argentina will face Cape Verde in the round of 32, with the intention of facing Belgium in the next round. This side of the draw could also feature a quarter-final clash between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, should Portugal finish second in their group and advance past the first round.

Also, Brazil and England are in this part of the scheme and could clash together in the quarterfinals, if they meet expectations.

On the other side, Germany will face Paraguay and if they qualify, they could face France, who must first get past Sweden.

The Netherlands will face Morocco, while a possible duel with France or Germany is only feasible in the quarter-final stage.

Spain will face Austria, but risks finding Portugal in the round of 16 if the Lusitanians successfully overcome Colombia's obstacle.
