FIFA World Cup: Schedule, TV time and storylines for Wednesday, June 27
Eight teams have earned spots in the Round of 16, and four more will move on in what promises to be a wild Wednesday at the 2018 World Cup.
While the knockout round clinching scenarios in Group E are relatively clear, Group F could experience mayhem.
Mexico, Germany, Sweden, and even South Korea each still are mathematically alive to move on through Group F. All Mexico needs is a tie to advance but it is playing Sweden, which needs a win to advance. Defending World Cup champion Germany needs a convincing win over South Korea, which is a long shot to advance.
In Group E, the paths to the Round of 16 are clear for Brazil (vs. Serbia) and Switzerland (vs. Costa Rica).
