Germany and Brazil set to play in World Cup 2026 Round of 16

World Cup 2026 Germany Brazil Round of 16 football performance

The round‑of‑16 stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues on Monday, 29 June, with Brazil facing Japan at Houston Stadium and Germany taking on Paraguay at Boston Stadium. The matches will be broadcast live on Rai and streamed via DAZN, with additional games scheduled through the following days.

Germany’s performance has drawn particular scrutiny. After winning the 2014 title, the German national team has failed to reach the podium for three consecutive tournaments, exiting at the group stage in 2018 and 2022 and now losing in the round of 16 in 2026. Analysts question whether the traditional German football model still delivers results, pointing to recent disappointments and a broader debate about the nation's footballing structure.
