Confirmed round of 32 fixtures

Brazil v Japan - Monday 29th June, 18:00 (BST)

After their 3-0 win against Scotland secured top spot in Group C, Brazil will play the first World Cup knockout game. Japan were confirmed as runners-up of Group F with their 1-1 draw over Sweden and will meet Brazil in Houston on Monday.

Germany v TBC - Monday 29th June, 21:30 (BST)

As Group E winners, Germany's place in the first knockout game has been confirmed. Though their opponent depends on which third place teams qualify, it will almost certainly be Paraguay with the pair set to meet in Boston.

Netherlands v Morocco - Tuesday 30th June, 02:00 (BST)

While the Netherlands were underwhelming in their World Cup opener against Japan, they responded impressively with 5-1 and 3-1 wins over Sweden and Tunisia respectively to Group F. They will play Morocco, runners-up of Group C in the early hours of Tuesday morning in Monterrey.

Ivory Coast v Group I runner-up - Tuesday 30th June, 18:00 (BST)

Ivory Coast finished as Group I runners-up without much fuss, and they'll play the runners-up of Group I in Dallas, currently projected to be Norway unless they beat France on Friday evening.

Group I winner v TBC - Tuesday 30th June, 22:00 (BST)

Unless France lose to Norway, they will take the second round of 32 spot against a third-placed team, which will almost certainly be Sweden, with their game in New Jersey.

Mexico v TBC - Wednesday 1st July, 02:00 (BST)

As Group A winners, Mexico assured themselves of another fixture at the Azteca, which is now set to be Ecuador after their win against Germany.

Group L winner v TBC - Wednesday 1st July, 17:00 (BST)

England will top Group L with a win over Panama and are set for a third-placed team. If DR Congo go through, they will be England's opponents. If they don't go through and Senegal do, Senegal will be England's opponents. If neither DR Congo nor Senegal go through, England will likely play Ecuador.

Group G winner v TBC - Wednesday 1st July, 21:00 (BST)

It's still all to play for in Group G, where Belgium, Egypt and even Iran can top the group. Egypt should top the group by avoiding defeat to Iran, where they would likely meet the third-placed team group from Group J between Algeria and Austria, which will likely be Algeria.

USA v Bosnia and Herzegovina - Tuesday 2nd July, 01:00 (BST)

Bosnia and Herzegovina secured their place in the round of 32 with a win over Qatar in their final group game, setting up a clash with co-hosts USA in San Francisco.

Group H winner v Group J runner-up - Thursday 2nd July, 20:00 (BST)

Unless they lose to Uruguay, Spain will top Group H where they'll face the runners-up of Group J in Los Angeles. Austria are currently second in Group J, and will stay there unless they lose to Algeria.

Group K runner-up v Group L runner-up - Friday 3rd July, 00:00 (BST)

If Portugal fail to beat Colombia, they'll finish as runners-up in Group K. Should they beat Colombia, the South Americans will head to Toronto for their round of 32 match to play the runner-up of Group L, mostly likely Croatia or Ghana.

Switzerland v TBC - Friday 3rd July, 04:00 (BST)

As Group B winners, Switzerland look most likely to play a third-place team from either Group G or Group J in Vancouver. Switzerland would likely face Iran if they qualified; if not, they would likely face Algeria.

Australia v Group G runner-up - Friday 3rd July, 19:00 (BST)

Australia's place in the round of 32 is booked, and they will face the runners-up of Group G. As long as Egypt avoid defeat to Iran, Belgium should take second place. If Iran beat Egypt, Iran would likely finish second.

Argentina v Group H runner-up - Friday 3rd July, 23:00 (BST)

Argentina topped their group with a game to spare, meaning they'll play the runner-up of Group H in Miami.

While it was expected to be Uruguay pre-tournament, the only way Uruguay finish second is if they draw with Spain and Cape Verde draw with Saudi Arabia, while ensuring they score at least as many goals as Cape Verde.

Cape Verde will now finish second if they avoid defeat to Saudi Arabia and Uruguay lose to Spain.

Group K winner v TBC - Saturday 4th July, 02:30 (BST)

Colombia currently top Group K, but will surrender their position if they lose to Portugal. The winner of Group K will play the third-placed team from Group L, likely to be Croatia or Ghana.
