Going into the final day of group play at the World Cup, there are essentially eight teams vying for four spots in the round of 32. Tournament co-hosts the United States, Canada and Mexico have all advanced. Same with France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Norway and others. The U.S. will face Bosnia-Herzegovina on Wednesday in Santa Clara, California, while Canada heads to Southern California to face South Africa on Sunday. Other marquee matchups are set, including Morocco versus the Netherlands, Japan versus Brazil and Norway versus Ivory Coast.

As group play winds down at the World Cup, the biggest intrigue might be not who finishes first in a four-team group.
