With all of the group stage matches finished, the attention now focuses on the Round of 16. This next stage will now see the loser eliminated from the World Cup. Harsh, we know. But that’s just how the cookie crumbles. Here's the World Cup Round of 16 schedule with the dates, times and the stadium it will be played at. Strap yourself in, because the World Cup is about to get even better.
Mexico vs Brazil will be no doubt an attractive match come the Round of 16.
El Tri and the Verde amarelha have met several times in diverse tournaments.
The Mexico vs Brazil record is currently 22 victories for La Canarinha, seven draws and 10 victories for El Tri.
Brazil is a football powerhouse and is also the only national team to have won five world cup trophies.
The great news for Mexico is that South Korea’s shock upset of Germany kept El Tri in the tournament. The bad news is that it’s Brazil lying in wait in the Round of 16. The even worse news? That right-hand side of Mexico that just got torched by Emil Forsberg and Ludwig Augustinsson now has to stop Neymar and Philippe Coutinho. The only real news of comfort for the backtracking Miguel Layun is that Marcelo might not be there.
The morning games on Wednesday at the World Cup provided all the excitement one could ask for as the defending champs crashed out with Cho Hyun-Woo stopping everything that came his way while winning over the hearts of Mexico as he helped them secure a spot in the knockout stage despite a rough outing versus Sweden.
Hay un bar que está dando tragos cada vez que Neymar se tira al suelo. Después de la absurda jugada de Neymar contra Serbia, probablemente estén todos muertos ahora.
Por segunda vez consecutiva, Neymar ha hecho el ridículo. Contra Costa Rica hizo esta horrible caída. Inspiró a un bar de Río de Janeiro a ofrecer bebidas gratis cada vez que Neymar se cae.
If you live in the United States and have been watching the World Cup, you probably have seen a number of countries stake their claim as to why you should support them in a Volkswagen World Cup commercial. Considering the United States failed to qualify, Volkswagen thought people in the U.S. should follow a team.
But, the question is: Who makes the most compelling argument? Well, we’ve taken the liberty to rank the nations based on who we thought made the most compelling arguments during a Volkswagen World Cup commercial.
Aside from Costa Rica, every team in action Wednesday has some rout to the knockout stages. Our World Cup predictions start in Group F and finish with Group E.
Mexico will take on a Sweden team that will have to go against its style and push forward for goals. Germany will look to ride the momentum of Toni Kroos' absurd game-winning goal at the death while South Korea will hope for a miracle.
Brazil's five World Cup titles are most all time, and it's no coincidence that it has produced some of the best soccer players to ever play 'jogo bonito,' the beautiful game. Pele is a consensus No. 1 on the list of the greatest Brazlian players, but where do Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and 26-year-old Neymar rank?
