Soccer World Cup 2026: The knock-out phase begins

28. June 2026, 20:15

The first part of the World Cup is over. There were 72 games in 18 days. This is a record. Now the K.o.-Phase begins. A loser must go home directly.

Germany reached the next round. On Monday the team plays against Paraguay. The game starts at 22.30 o'clock. The coaches Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel help their teams.

Some players have big worries. Nico Williams from Spain is badly hurt. He cried after a hard foul. Cody Gakpo from the Netherlands lost his child. He stays with his team.

The FIFA made a list of the best players. The German Deniz Undav is the best striker. He is better than Messi and Mbappé. Harry Kane is the best scorer for England.

In South Korea there is a big fight. The team is out of the tournament. The coach Hong Myung-bo stops his work. The president of South Korea is very angry.

Many fans are in the stadiums. In Boston is a special cafe. Fans watch soccer in a Barbie world. Everything is pink there.
