The lineup for the 2026 World Cup round of 32 is now complete.
The group stage is over, with Uruguay, Scotland and South Korea among the most notable teams to have fallen at the first hurdle in North America this summer.
However, all the big favourites are safely through to the first knockout phase, with England beating Panama 2-0 in New Jersey on Saturday to clinch top spot in Group L and a last-32 meeting with DR Congo in Atlanta on Wednesday.
The biggest shock of the group stage was undoubtedly debutants Cape Verde finishing second behind reigning European champions Spain in Group H and ahead of Uruguay, sealing a dream showdown with Lionel Messi and holders Argentina next.
All three World Cup co-hosts - the United States, Mexico and Canada - are also through.
