FIFA World Cup 2018 schedule of Round of 16 matches, quarterfinals, semifinals, third place and final

FIFA World Cup 2018 Round of 16 line-up is getting ready but will not see defending champions Germany who are out of the football extravaganza following their shock loss to South Korea in a Group F match. With an array of stars, Germany were expected to have an easy time in their group against Mexico, Sweden and South Korea. But their campaign never got off after Mexico beat them in the opening group match 1-0. Losing finalist of FIFA World Cup 2014 Argentina, too, had a tough time qualifying to the knockout stages but they just about made it after beating Nigeria 2-1 in their last Group D match.
