France Tops FOX's 2026 World Cup Round of 16 Power Rankings

Eight teams remain in the 2026 World Cup quarterfinals, with France No. 1, Spain No. 2, Argentina No. 3 and England No. 4, followed by Morocco, Norway, Belgium, and Switzerland.

Vancouver Showdown: Switzerland and Colombia Seek World Cup Knockout Glory

Switzerland and Colombia meet in Vancouver for a World Cup 2026 Round of 16 clash, each aiming to reach the quarterfinals. Colombia arrive as dangerous outsiders with a stingy defense, having topped their group, while Switzerland rely on breakout 20-year-old Johan Manzambi to spark their attack. There are fitness concerns for Switzerland’s key players, and Colombia’s Cordoba is sidelined with a groin injury. Opta’s model gives Colombia a 41.9% chance to win in regulation, Switzerland 28.2%, and about a 29.9% chance the game goes to extra time. The winner faces Argentina or Egypt in Kansas City on July 11; kick-off is July 7 at 1pm local time (20:00 GMT) at BC Place, Vancouver.

The US defense looked vulnerable, Christian Pulisic left injured, and ongoing Balogun eligibility controversy hung over the match.
