Watch Japan vs. Brazil
Is this the most interesting game of the tournament so far? It’s got to be up there. Brazil always come into these tournaments with hopes of lifting the trophy, but there are plenty of doubts about this squad. Japan are going to be very tough to beat. They’re unbeaten and come into this matchup with a lot of confidence after matching Netherlands and Sweden in the group stage.
Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.
Watch Germany vs. Paraguay
Germany trounced Curaçao in their opening game and then beat Ivory Coast. That was a strong start, but they followed that up by losing to Ecuador. Do we now start doubting the Germans? They are still favorites to beat Paraguay and advance to the next round, but it’s not going to be straightforward. Paraguay will make things difficult for Nagelsmann’s team.
