The newly-created World Cup round of 32 is set to begin after a thrilling conclusion to the expanded group stage.
Only 16 teams now depart the World Cup at the group stage following the jump from 32 to 48 qualified nations, with Uruguay the most high-profile side to fall at the first hurdle in a combustible and dramatic end to the Marcelo Bielsa era.
South Korea and Turkey are two more big casualties from the group stage, with Iran, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Haiti, Panama, Qatar, Czech Republic, New Zealand and Iraq also heading home.
Everyone else – including debutants Cape Verde – now prepare to contest the round of 32, which kicks off with one of the co-hosts in action on Sunday.
