Colombia v Ghana: World Cup 2026 last 32 – live

So we’ll wrap the round of 32 (the first-ever in the World Cup) with two frustrating but occasionally compelling games and one instant classic that one of the Fox channels should just show on repeat for the rest of the month.

As many games as we’ve had (let’s see: six games per group, 12 groups, that’s 72, then 16 games in the round of 32, so a total of 88), it feels like the round of 16 has come up fast, doesn’t it?

Keep an eye on tomorrow’s schedule. The England-Mexico game is due to remain on schedule, but there has been an awful lot of talk about moving it to a cooler part of the day. No matter what time they play it, conditions are going to be brutal. I’ll also be very surprised if England advance, but stranger things have happened, as we saw today.

Until then, maybe take a nap or something. Or walk around in the heat and pretend you’re playing 90-120 minutes in it. See you all then.
