While the classification matches have just started, the time has come to turn to the matches that interest us the most, namely those of the second round of this world Cup. Second round without France, at the end of which we will know the identity of the eight quarter-finalists of the tournament.
For this second phase of the competition, four new pools of four teams (I, J, K and L) have been formed, without the results of the first round being erased, and each nation will face the two that it has not not challenged in the first phase.
The two best teams in each group will then qualify for the quarter-finals of this World Cup and there is already a big team in Pool K – including Germany, Australia and Slovenia – guaranteed to be eliminated!
Unlike the classification matches, all the matches of this second round can be found on BeIN Sports.
Group I : Serbia (6 pts), Dominican Republic (6 pts), Italy (5 pts), Puerto Rico (5 pts)
Group J : United States (6 pts), Lithuania (6 pts), Montenegro (5 pts), Greece (5 pts)
K-group : Slovenia (6 pts), Germany (6 pts), Australia (5 pts), Georgia (5 pts)
Group L : Canada (6 pts), Spain (6 pts), Brazil (5 pts), Latvia (5 pts)
