World Cup, the round of 16 schedule: it starts with Holland-USA and Argentina-Australia – Football

The first stage of world ended with some big surprises: already out one of the favourites, Germany, plus two expected outsiders like Belgium and Denmark. Two historic national teams such as Uruguay, two times world champion, and the Mexico which for 7 editions arrived punctually in the round of 16. Asia is smiling, bringing two representatives, Japan and South Korea, among the best 16, plus the surprising one Australia which, despite being a country of Oceania, decided some time ago to take part in the Asian qualifiers.

They party on Senegal, which took revenge after the mocking elimination in Russia 2018 for the highest number of yellow cards conceded compared to Japan, and Morocco which revived a goal that had been missing since 1986. Finally, Switzerland, as happened 4 years ago, he mocked Serbia again in the last match: in Russia they finished 2-1 with a goal in the 90th minute by Shaqiri who once again put his name on the scoresheet opening the score for the 3-2 final. The Netherlands, Argentina, Croatia, Brazil, England, France, Spain and Portugal have complied with the predictions, albeit with a few too many difficulties. From Saturday we start to get serious with knockout matches. There is no more time to make calculations or to recover from a possible slip-up.
