The final matches of the group stage are currently taking place, meaning we are nearing closer to learning who will face off in the round of 32. <\/p>\n

Eleven teams have already secured their place in that knockout draw, others have learned they are no chance of going through. Some have to wait a little longer. <\/p>\n

With the new tiebreaker rules, the eight best third-placed team will qualify for the knockouts. That positioning is decided based on head-to-head results and in some cases goal difference – that is if two teams finish in third with the same head-to-head result and also drew in their game against each other. <\/p>\n

Here is where each nation sits at the time of publication. <\/p>\n

Qualified for round of 32: Mexico, Switzerland, Canada, Brazil, Morocco, USA, Germany, France, Norway, Argentina and Colombia<\/p>\n

Best third-placed teams at the time of publication: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sweden, Croatia, Algeria, Paraguay, Scotland, Cape Verde, DR Congo<\/p>\n

Eliminated: Qatar, Haiti, Turkiye, Tunisia, Jordan and Panama<\/p>\n
