The FIFA World Cup schedule shows several high‑profile round‑of‑16 fixtures, including England versus Portugal, the Netherlands against Morocco, and the classic South American derby between Argentina and Uruguay. Other notable match‑ups listed are Germany‑Scotland, France‑Sweden, South Korea‑Switzerland, Brazil‑Japan and a host of South American and African pairings such as Colombia‑Paraguay and Ghana‑Ivory Coast.
