Cape Verde 0-0 Saudi Arabia

I think those sceptics who thought expanding the World Cup wasn't the right thing might be rethinking it watching these Cape Verde fans because this is really special. A country of 500,000 people getting to the knockout phase.
We've seen Uruguay, one of the biggest countries, going out and then one of the smallest teams making it to the knockout phase.
What a moment for them.

These scenes in Cape Verde's capital warm your heart.
This is how it feels to watch your country reach the knockout stages of the World Cup at their first attempt.
What a story!

It's just a great story for what the World Cup is all about. We often talk about how football touches every part of the globe and this is what it can do. Get on the main stage and they finished second in their group.
I think they'd love to play Argentina, it just adds to their story. Playing against the reigning champions. What a great story it's been.

But the dream has taken the Blue Sharks this far, so, why not?

As the final whistle blew in their game, the Cape Verde players crowded around a phone to see the conclusion of the Uruguay match against Spain. There were joyous scenes when it was confirmed that their World Cup adventure would continue, thanks to Uruguay's 1-0 defeat.
The Blue Sharks, 67th in Fifa's rankings, drew with past World Cup winners Spain and Uruguay in a group that few would have expected them to get out of before a ball was kicked.
A nation of just 525,000 inhabitants has gained many more fans on this brilliant journey so far, reminding people of the joy football can bring.
They are the first African debutants to advance from the World Cup group stage since Ghana in 2006, and there is no doubt that Lionel Messi's Argentina will face a tough challenge against them.
Speaking after the match, Cape Verde midfielder Deroy Duarte said: "Honestly, it's mad. I feel like I'm in a dream.
"Ever since I was a kid, I've always dreamed of playing in a World Cup.
"To be man of the match and make history is something I could never have imagined.
"First, let's celebrate. We're so happy. Let's hope all Cape Verdeans are happy too. From tomorrow, we'll focus on the next match.
"It's against Argentina, isn't it? A tough match, but let's believe. Anything is possible."

There was always going to be somebody from a smaller country that is here maybe for the first time that was going to get through and make some real noise. Cape Verde have.
Tonight they were the team with more intent, and trying in a bigger way to get the ball up the field, to bring the intensity.
Saudi Arabia never did until the very latter stages - too late to answer the bell.

Not bad company to be in at all...
Image source, Getty ImagesSpain secured top spot in Group H with a 1-0 win against Uruguay, meaning they will face the runner-up of Group J - either Austria or Algeria - in the last 32 on Thursday, 2 July in Los Angeles (20:00 BST).
Cape Verde secured second place in their first ever World Cup campaign by drawing 0-0 with Saudi Arabia, who finished bottom of the group with two points.
The African side will face Argentina in the next round in Miami on Friday (23:00 BST).
Uruguay took two points from three games and finished third, above the Saudis on goal difference.
However, two points was not enough to make them one of the eight-best third-place finishers, and so they are eliminated.
Iran did their best to steal the headlines with their late effort against Egypt, but the story of the day has to go to Cape Verde...

The type of forensic VAR call we saw against Iran is killing the spirit of the game. Being technically correct isn't always the correct outcome.

Egypt 1-1 Iran
Iran will find out later on Saturday if they have done enough to progress as one of the eight best third-placed teams.
To go through, they require just one of the following scenarios to occur:

Just look at the scenes when Iran thought they had netted a stoppage-time winner against Egypt, which would have sent them to knockout stages for the first time in their history. The goal was chalked off by VAR for offside.
They may yet reach that stage as a third-placed team, but will now have to wait to learn their fate.

(Romelu Lukaku's goal) is great for a centre-forward's mindset and confidence. Lukaku is not having the best tournament or in the best fitness and health. His standards are so high and it's brilliant he's got the goal.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt has taken until the last game of the group stage, but Belgium have finally arrived at this World Cup.
While they may not be the side they once were, with those remaining from that golden generation of 2018 now approaching the end of their careers, more was still expected than what they managed against Egypt and Iran.
The manner in which they dismantled a battling, but ultimately outclassed, New Zealand showed just why.
There was an intensity to their play which had been sorely lacking to this point, and the sharpness of their one-touch passing around the penalty area meant the All Whites were clinging on within just a couple of minutes of kick-off.
Trossard was relentless, his direct approach every time he got the ball causing huge problems for the defenders - and with the masterful De Bruyne supplying him, those moments came frequently.
One such combination between the pair led to the award of a Belgium penalty for handball - overturned following a VAR intervention - and De Bruyne had a hand in both Trossard's goals before essentially ending the contest by scoring the third himself.
The quality of the opposition will only get stronger from this point, but if Trossard and De Bruyne can maintain this kind of form then Belgium may yet make a telling impact on this tournament.
Belgium claimed top spot with a 5-1 win against New Zealand, so will face a third-place finisher in Seattle on Wednesday, 1 July (21:00 BST).
Egypt hung on for a 1-1 draw with Iran to finish in second place, behind Belgium on goal difference. As group runners-up, the Pharaohs will play Australia on Friday, 3 July (19:00 BST).
A point means Iran finish third with three points, and must wait to find out if they are one of the eight-best third place finishers.
New Zealand finish bottom with one point and are out.
Tonight's results will now be key to Iran's hopes of making it through, but they look to be in with a good chance.
If Algeria draw their final match against Austria in Group J then they will move above Iran in the third-place rankings.
A victory for DR Congo against Uzbekistan in Group K, or an eight-goal win for Uzbekistan, would push either side above Iran.
And a win or draw for Croatia against Ghana would mean the third-place finisher in Group L would finish with a better record than Iran.
All three of those scenarios would have to play out for Iran to be eliminated.
Egypt 1-1 Iran

Egypt through after late drama denies Iran guaranteed knockout qualification
Iran had a goal ruled out for offside and hit the crossbar in the final seconds of a 1-1 draw against Egypt in Seattle, leaving their hopes of reaching the World Cup last 32 in the balance.
Shoja Khalilzadeh turned home after a goalmouth scramble but his effort was disallowed following a lengthy video assistant referee check, while Saeid Ezatolahi headed against the woodwork in the seventh minute of added time.
Wild celebrations had followed Khalilzadeh putting the ball in the net, with the defender removing his shirt - for which he was later booked - and posing for a photograph with a pair of sunglasses.
His, and Iran's, joy was short-lived, though.
Iran, who have drawn all three of their group matches, remain in with a chance of reaching the World Cup knockout phase for the first time ever as a best third-placed qualifier.
Their hopes now rest on the outcomes of Groups J, K and L, while Egypt finished second in Group G.
