Ivory Coast face Norway, France meet Sweden, and Mexico take on Ecuador as three more places in the last 16 are decided.<\/p>\n

Here is what we know:<\/p>\n

What is Tuesday\u2019s schedule?
\nIvory Coast vs Norway\u00a0(noon\/17:00 GMT) at Dallas Stadium, Texas, in the US
\nFrance vs Sweden\u00a0(5pm\/21:00 GMT) at New York\/New Jersey Stadium in the US
\nMexico vs Ecuador\u00a0(7pm\/02:00 GMT on Wednesday) at Mexico City Stadium in Mexico
\nWhat is the prediction for Ivory Coast vs Norway?<\/p>\n

This will be the first competitive meeting between Ivory Coast and Norway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ivory Coast have found European opposition difficult at the World Cup, while Norway have traditionally fared well against African teams. They have lost only two of their 19 meetings with CAF nations across all competitions.<\/p>\n

The Opta supercomputer calculates Norway as the clear favourites to progress.<\/p>\n

Across 25,000 pre-match simulations, Norway won in normal time 56.1 percent of the time, while Ivory Coast claimed victory in 21.6 percent. A draw after 90 minutes, sending the tie to extra time, occurred in 22.3 percent of simulations.<\/p>\n

Norway are also strongly backed to reach the Round of 16 and equal their best-ever World Cup finish, while Ivory Coast will need to produce one of the tournament\u2019s biggest upsets to keep their campaign alive.<\/p>\n

What is the prediction for France vs Sweden?<\/p>\n

France and Sweden are familiar opponents, having met 23 times across all competitions. France hold the advantage with 12 wins to Sweden\u2019s six, while five matches have ended level.<\/p>\n

Despite that long history, this will be their first-ever meeting at a FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n

The Opta supercomputer gives France a commanding edge heading into the Round of 32.<\/p>\n

Across 25,000 pre-match simulations, France won in normal time 75.1 percent of the time, underlining their status as one of the tournament favourites. Sweden were victorious in just 9.5 percent of simulations, while 15.4 percent of matches were level after 90 minutes and required extra time or penalties.<\/p>\n

\"France<\/p>\n

What is the prediction for Mexico vs Ecuador?<\/p>\n

Mexico and Ecuador have met only once before at the FIFA World Cup, with El Tri claiming a 2-1 victory during the group stage of the 2002 tournament.<\/p>\n

Recent meetings have been far more evenly matched. The sides are unbeaten against each other in their last three encounters, with all three ending in draws, raising the possibility that this Round of 32 tie could be decided beyond 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

The Opta supercomputer gives the tournament cohosts the edge but expects a competitive contest.<\/p>\n

Across 25,000 pre-match simulations, Mexico won in normal time 47.1 percent of the time, compared with 23.7 percent for Ecuador. A draw after 90 minutes occurred in 29.2 percent of simulations, making extra time a realistic possibility.<\/p>\n

Factoring in extra time and penalties, Mexico\u2019s chances of reaching the Round of 16 rise to 61 percent, while Ecuador are given a 38.9 percent probability of progressing.<\/p>\n

\"Mexico<\/p>\n

Which teams have advanced to the Round of 16, and who has been eliminated?<\/p>\n

The tournament has now moved into the Round of 32. So far, these teams have advanced to the Round of 16:<\/p>\n

Canada (defeated South Africa 1-0)
\nBrazil (defeated Japan 2-1)
\nParaguay (defeated Germany on penalties after a 1-1 draw)
\nMorocco (defeated the Netherlands on penalties after a 1-1 draw)

Morocco beat the Netherlands<\/a> 3-2 in a penalty shootout to reach the FIFA World Cup last 16 after a dramatic 1-1 draw following extra time in Monterrey.<\/p>\n

Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou was the hero, saving Crysencio Summerville\u2019s penalty before Ismael Saibari fired home the decisive spot-kick to send Morocco through.<\/p>\n

Morocco will now face Canada in the Round of 16 in Houston on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The match appeared to be heading for a Dutch victory after Cody Gakpo put the Netherlands ahead midway through the second half.<\/p>\n

Germany suffers shock early exit<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s campaign came to a stunning end<\/a> on Monday as Paraguay pulled off one of the greatest upsets in tournament history, winning a dramatic Round of 32 tie on penalties.<\/p>\n

Paraguay took a deserved 1-0 lead into half-time after Julio Enciso headed home from Matias Galarza\u2019s cross in the 42nd minute.<\/p>\n

Germany responded eight minutes into the second half when Kai Havertz glanced in Florian Wirtz\u2019s cross to level the match at 1-1.<\/p>\n

With neither side able to find a winner in extra time, the tie went to penalties. Havertz missed Germany\u2019s opening spot-kick and the Germans failed to convert three of their five attempts, allowing Paraguay to seal a famous 4-3 shootout victory and book their place in the last 16.<\/p>\n

Paraguay declares national holiday after stunning Germany<\/p>\n

Paraguay President Santiago Pena declared Tuesday a national holiday<\/a> after the country\u2019s shock penalty shootout victory over Germany secured a place in the FIFA World Cup last 16.<\/p>\n

Paraguay stunned the four-time world champions 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw following extra time on Monday, pulling off one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history.<\/p>\n

Paraguay became the second South American nation to declare a national holiday after a surprise World Cup victory over Germany. Ecuador was the first, doing so after its 2-1 group-stage win over the four-time champions.<\/p>\n

US homeland security chief celebrates Iran\u2019s exit<\/p>\n

United States Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said he \u201cdanced a happy dance\u201d after Iran were eliminated from the World Cup.<\/p>\n

Iran missed out on the Round of 32 on goal difference after a stoppage-time winner against Egypt was ruled out for offside, with their elimination confirmed when Algeria and Austria drew 3-3 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Speaking during a World Cup briefing on Monday, Mullin said he was \u201cglad they\u2019re done, and they\u2019re not coming back\u201d, adding he was happy when Iran\u2019s visas were revoked and the team left US soil. He also said Iran had required more attention from US authorities than any other team at the tournament.<\/p>\n

The comments add to Mullin\u2019s public dispute with the Iranian team. Earlier in the tournament, he alleged members of Iran\u2019s travelling delegation had attempted to bring someone with ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps into the US, an accusation the Iran Football Federation dismissed as \u201cfalse, fabricated and entirely baseless\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Round of 32 has already delivered shocks, shootouts and scenes that will live long in World Cup…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":771227,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[49,48,17708,3456,527,637,114428,799,1072,44,19224,457,82,7425,1690,13010],"class_list":["post-771226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-ecuador","tag-europe","tag-football","tag-france","tag-ivory-coast","tag-latin-america","tag-mexico","tag-news","tag-norway","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-sweden","tag-us-canada","tag-world-cup-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=771226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771226\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/771227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=771226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=771226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=771226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
