England vs Scotland? World Cup knockout stage as it stands

England and Scotland are currently on course to meet in the World Cup round of 16, but final group matches and other results could change that. BBC Sport has created a predictor tool to help track the possibilities.

With the final round of group fixtures starting on 24 June, it's time to begin mapping out your country's path to the World Cup final on 19 July. However, with 32 of the 48 teams advancing to the knockout rounds, new tiebreaker rules, and a table of third-placed teams to keep track of, staying across the various permutations is far from simple. As it stands, England, sitting top of Group L, and Scotland, third in Group C, are on course to meet in the last 16 in Mexico City on 6 July (01:00 BST). But all of that could change depending not only on England and Scotland's performances in their final group matches against Panama and Brazil, respectively, but also results elsewhere. To keep you up to date, BBC Sport has developed a predictor tool that updates in-game to illustrate the schedule all the way to the final. With dates and times listed alongside the fixtures, planning early morning alarms and potential all-nighters across three host countries and four different time zones has never been easier.
