The group stage has concluded for the 2026 World Cup, with Algeria and Austria the final teams to qualify for the knock-out rounds after a whirlwind 3-3 draw in Kansas. Iran were the unlucky team to miss out, with three points and zero goal difference expected to get through at the start of the tournament, In the end, though, too many teams reached four points.It’s win or go home from now on until the final on July 19th and the matches just keep coming in the last 32. It took 16 days and 72 matches to eliminate 16 teams from the World Cup through the group stage. Now there will be another 16 teams knocked out in just six days and 16 matches. Here are the fixtures for the last 32 of the World Cup.Fixture times (Irish time):SundaySouth Africa v Canada, Sofi Stadium, Inglewood, Los Angeles, 8pmMondayBrazil v Japan, NRG Stadium, Houston, 6pmGermany v Paraguay, Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, 9.30pmTuesdayNetherlands v Morocco, Estadio BBVA, Guadalupe, 2amIvory Coast v Norway, AT&T Stadium, Arlington, 6pmFrance v Sweden, MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, 10pmWednesdayMexico v Ecuador, Estadio Azteca, Mexico City, 2amEngland v DR Congo, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, 5pmBelgium v Senegal, Lumen Field, Seattle, 9pmThursdayUSA v Bosnia and Herzegovina, Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, 1amSpain v Austria, Sofi Stadium, Inglewood, Los Angeles, 8pmFridayPortugal v Croatia, BMO Field, Toronto, 12amSwitzerland v Algeria, BC Place, Vancouver, 4amArgentina v Cape Verde, Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, 11pmSaturdayColombia v Ghana, Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas, 2.30amPico Lopes and his Cape Verde team-mates will face Lionel Messi's Argentina in Miami on Friday in the Last 32 of the World Cup.

Portugal against Croatia could be worth a late night to see if Cristiano Ronaldo can score his first knock-out goal, while there will be considerable interest in Pico Lopes and Cape Verde taking on the reigning champions Argentina. With an 11pm kick-off on a Friday night, the pubs in Dublin will be happy to show that one.At more friendly times, Brazil against Japan on Monday at 6pm, Ivory Coast against Norway at 6pm on Tuesday, and Belgium against Senegal at 9pm on Wednesday are games that will appeal to the neutral.When does the last 16 begin?There is no break between the last 32 and the last 16, with the winners of South Africa v Canada and Netherlands v Morocco playing at 6pm on Saturday, July 4th, before the winners of Germany v Paraguay and France v Sweden play at 10pm. Then two games a night roughly (some going into the early hours of the following day), until there is finally a day to breathe. There are no matches on Wednesday, July 8th, the first rest day of the World Cup, before the first quarter-final begins on Thursday, July 9th.How are the brackets looking for the draw?Germany could play France in a blockbuster last 16 clash should they both progress. Spain against Portugal is another potentially interesting one, as would hosts Mexico against England.Last 16 potential clashesGermany/Paraguay v France/SwedenSouth Africa/Canada v Netherlands/MoroccoPortugal/Ghana v Spain/AustriaUSA/Bosnia and Herzegovina v Belgium/SenegalBrazil/Japan v Ivory Coast/NorwayMexico/Ecuador v England/DR CongoArgentina/Cape Verde v Australia/EgyptSwitzerland/Algeria v Colombia/Ghana
