The World Cup is already in the direct qualifying stage and after a long group stage that produced memorable matches and few surprises, the focus is on what paths await the teams in the finals.
First to qualify for the round of 16 are Canada and Morocco, who will face each other, Brazil (who will face Ivory Coast or Norway) and Paraguay (who surprisingly eliminated four-time world champion Germany and will face France or Sweden).
In principle, Argentina have a path that might seem simple, the highlight of which could be a possible meeting with Colombia in the quarter-finals. At the top of the table there will be high-level confrontations between European powers. A match like Portugal-Spain is possible in the 1/8 finals.
