Right now, the only teams that know for sure they will be in round of 32 are Mexico, USA, Germany, Argentina, France, Norway, and Colombia; while the teams confirmed eliminated before the third match are Haiti, Turkey, Tunisia, Jordan, and Panama.
Most will qualify, though: from the 48 teams at this stage, 32 will go through: 12 group leaders, 12 runner-ups and 8 third-placed teams, according to a ranking between those that finish third based on points, overall goal difference, overall number of goals score
If the group stage ended today, all teams ranked first and second would qualify, and all third placed teams would also qualify except for: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ecuador, Senegal, and DR Congo are currently the four worst third-placed teams.
