Chris Sutton is weighing in on the World Cup 2026 round of 16 as the tournament heads toward the final at Met Life Stadium. Sutton accurately predicted 13 of 16 previous ties, though a shock win by Paraguay over Germany fooled both the expert and the vast majority of the public.

User predictions are currently outperforming the experts, with a 70% accuracy rate compared to Sutton's 61%. While Microsoft Copilot Chat provided the AI's forecasts, human fans remain the most reliable source of results so far. This trend continues as the competition enters the high-stakes knockout phase involving England and Mexico.

Sutton expects Canada's run to end in their match against Morocco. Despite Jesse Marsch leading Canada to their first ever World Cup win, Sutton predicts a 0-2 loss for the Canadians. He believes Morocco possesses the quality to win the entire tournament, provided they can overcome France in the next round.

Canada's high-intensity style under Marsch has brought results, but the expert views their adventure as over. Morocco's defensive stability should neutralize the Canadian attack. Sutton stands by his prediction while his colleague Eilidh Barbour expects France to eventually stop the Moroccan momentum.
