The World Cup is down to the final 16 teams right now. A recent round- of-16 ranking lists the remaining sides as France, Spain, Argentina, Norway, England, Portugal, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, Switzerland, Morocco, USA, and several others still in contention.

What’s left

  • There are 16 teams remaining after 32 were eliminated from the 48-team tournament.
  • BBC Sport’s latest ranking of the teams left puts France at No. 1 and Spain at No. 2.
  • Matchups in the knockout phase are already shaping up, with coverage highlighting fixtures such as Spain vs Portugal.

Fastest way to track it

If you mean “who is left” in the sense of the current knockout field, the clearest answer is: 16 teams are still alive. If you want the exact surviving teams by bracket, I can list them in a clean table next.
