One of the round's most dramatic showdowns took place in Miami, where the reigning world champions, Argentina, narrowly overcame Cape Verde with a 3-2 victory. Lionel Messi opened the scoring, but the match was only decided in extra time due to an own goal by Diney in the 111th minute. In the next stage, the Albiceleste will clash with Egypt.

The tournament's biggest sensation so far was the elimination of Germany by Paraguay; the South American side will now face France in the round of 16. In the remaining fixtures, scheduled to take place from July 4 to July 7, quarterfinal spots will be contested by Canada and Morocco, Brazil and Norway, Portugal and Spain, Mexico and England, as well as the USA and Belgium.
