With one of the most dramatic group stages in recent history now officially over, fans know of the 16 teams set to compete in the World Cup knockout stages.
Every single game in the final round had something lying on it, with teams vying for an all-important win to guarantee top spot or holding out in order to take second place on goals difference. As recently as this afternoon, South Korea's Hwang Hee-chan bagged a 91st-minute winner against Portugal to send his side into second ahead of Uruguay on goals scored - a goal that left Luis Suarez and Darwin Nunez in tears.
Yesterday, Japan beat Spain to send 2010 world champions Germany home for the second time in the two tournaments since, while Belgium's failure to beat Croatia - helped in no way by a string of incredible misses from Romelu Lukaku - sent the Europe's No.1 ranked side packing early.
