The 2026 World Cup, held for the first time in an expanded 48-team format, appears to be achieving its goal of minimizing surprises in the group stage. Up to this point in the competition, Turkey's elimination remains the only significant surprise among the participating nations.
Even in the knockout stage, after the completion of the first two rounds and based on the current rankings, no confrontations between the biggest names in world football are expected in the round of 16.
One of the most exciting duels that could take place at this stage is the one between Argentina and Uruguay, a match that promises rivalry and high sporting interest.
Meanwhile, England could be considered one of the most favored teams in the current tournament format. If the group rankings remain unchanged, the English would face Cape Verde in the round of 16.
According to current projections, the biggest excitement is expected to begin in the round of 16. If there are no surprise eliminations and the ranking of the teams does not change in the respective groups, fans could see strong confrontations such as Germany-France and Portugal-Spain, duels that would give another dimension to the race for the world trophy.
