Today's matches:
Paraguay vs France - 23:00 CET
Key updates:
19:55 CET - That’s half-time in Houston, and it is still goalless between Canada and Morocco, in what has been a feisty affair. To illustrate that, there have already been six yellow cards handed out, which is more than the total number of shots!
After a bright start from Canada, the chances dried up quickly for both sides, but a goal early in the second half could blow this match right open. It hasn't been top quality, but it's anyone's game still.
19:42 CET - There's been a bit of pushing and shoving with yellow cards shown to Richie Laryea of Canada and Moroccan captain Achraf Hakimi. It's been a bit disjointed out there since the water break, tempers flaring too, it seems.
19:24 CET - A big blow for Morocco just before the first hypdation break with star player Ismael Saibari forced off with an injury. Manager Mohamed Ouahbi has thus had to make an unplanned substitution with Soufiane Rahimi now on in Saibari's place.
19:15 CET - 15 minutes in, and it's safe to say Canada have been on top so far! Despite having less of the ball, the Canadians have stunned Morocco with their high-intensity approach, getting three shots off already.
19:01 CET - We are underway in Houston for Canada vs Morocco and the Round of 16 is thus always underway at the World Cup!

17:35 CET - We are now less than 90 minutes from kick-off between Canada and Morocco in the World Cup's first Round of 16 match in Houston. You can see the starting XIs for that below.
Canadian star Alphonso Davies starts on the bench as coach Jesse Marsch makes three changes to his team. Centre-back Luc De Fougerolles comes in to bolster the defence, and Ali Ahmed returns to the starting XI in midfield. Niko Sigur also comes into the team as Derek Cornelius, Nathan Saliba and Liam Millar all drop to the bench.
Morocco, meanwhile, have made one change as defender Redouane Halhal comes in for Chadi Riad, who picked up a knee injury in the last-32 game against the Netherlands.
15:42 CET - Morocco head into this evening's clash with Canada as favourites, but they'll need to be wary of Porto midfielder Stephen Eustaquio, who produced top performances against Qatar and South Africa and made it into our team of the last round thanks to his late winner against Bafana Bafana.
Joining him in that team, which is based on Flashscore's very own ratings system, is the deadly French duo of Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise, who will tonight go up against the highest-rated goalkeeper of the last round in Paraguay's Orlando Gill.
13:00 CET - Hello and welcome to Flashscore's coverage of the 2026 World Cup's round of 16!
