Brazil going out? Chris Sutton predicts World Cup's last-16 matches

Only 16 teams are left in the 2026 World Cup, but who will make it to the final at MetLife Stadium near New York City on 19 July?

BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton did pretty well with his predictions for the last 32, but Paraguay's win over Germany caught him out, as well as most of you.

From more than 60,000 user predictions for that game, only 2% of you went for a Paraguay win.

You did pretty well otherwise, however - Morocco's win over the Netherlands was the only other result you got wrong.

Chris was right with 13/16 predictions while AI got 12/16.

With 88 of this World Cup's 104 matches now completed, the users still lead the way.

Chris has been right 54 times (61%), AI has a score of 55 (63%), but you lot are on top with 62 (70%).

Will there be any more surprises in the last 16, which includes Mexico against England and Paraguay against France?

Canada boss Jesse Marsch seems to have annoyed a few people with his behaviour on the touchline at this tournament but the important thing is what his team thinks of him.

He seems to be one of those managers where, if you are playing for him, you quite like him - and his high-intensity style has also got results.

To get this far, Canada have picked up their first World Cup point and then their first World Cup win along the way. It's been an adventure for them, but it ends here.

They will probably have more of a go at Morocco than the negative Netherlands did in the last round, but I suspect Morocco will quite like that.

I actually think Morocco can win this World Cup but, first things first, they will definitely win this game.

I am covering it for Radio 5 live and my commentary colleague Eilidh Barbour agrees with me about the result, but thinks France will be too strong for Morocco in the quarter-finals.

But that's why I'm the one doing the predictions - she's not going to win any bravery awards for saying that, is she?

Sutton's prediction: 0-2

AI's prediction: 1-2
