Now, the "real" World Cup begins. The thrills of the knockout stage start with one match on Sunday, and then we'll have three games each day until Friday.
Today, Canada faces off against South Africa at 3:00 p.m. ET in Los Angeles.
Let's get into our World Cup Round of 32 prop picks for Sunday, June 28.
World Cup Prop Picks for Canada vs South Africa
South Africa vs Canada Prop Picks
Jonathan David scored all three of his goals in this World Cup against Qatar in their 6-1 victory in the group stage, but has been very active in the rest of the matches, and this Round of 32 opponent gives him the opportunity to score again.
Let's be clear: South Africa isn't a complete doormat, but with the crowd's support and the chance to keep making history for the country in this tournament, Canada should thrive in this matchup, and David will be the main target. If he isn't, he can assist his partner upfront, Cyle Larin, and cash this bet as well.
South Africa have been able to contain opponents, with only Mexico scoring more than one goal against them in the group stage, so the under in this game is an option with the line at 2.5 goals, but I prefer to use shots on target as a parlay piece.
Canada just had seven shots on goal against Switzerland, a much tougher rival who actually beat them, and had 20 across all three previous games.
Also, the hosts will have Alphonso Davies finally fit and ready to play. With their star player going up the left flank, the offense will improve, and five shots should be achievable.
You can parlay these picks for a +155 payout at FanDuel.
