The World Cup group stage ends on Friday and the knockouts start just a day later with the last 16. So far, who have shown their stripes as favourites? What can we expect from the first knockout round that kicks off on Saturday, as the Netherlands face the USA and Argentina take on Australia?
So close yet so far for the indomitable lions of Cameroon as Vincent Aboubacar's 92nd minute strike snatched victory over Brazil. But they still crash out after the Swiss recorded a brilliant win over Serbia in a five-goal thriller.
Then Ghana couldn't dispel their penalty demons against Uruguay as Andre Ayew missed from the spot and the South Americans grabbed a 2-0 win.
South Korea though had the final say as their stunning 2-1 win over Portugal means that against all odds they progress from the group as runners up.
