How they got here: England

The Three Lions followed up an impressive 4-2 win over Croatia with a goalless draw against Ghana, but a 2-0 victory over Panama ensured they advanced to the knockout stage as Group L winners. They had to come from behind against DR Congo in the round of 32, with Harry Kane scoring twice to rescue Thomas Tuchel's side.

How they got here: Mexico

The co-hosts were one of only three teams to reach the knockout stages with a 100 percent group-stage record - and remain one of only two who are yet to concede a goal. Javier Aguirre’s side defeated South Africa (2-0), South Korea (1-0) and Czechia (3-0) in Group A to set up a round-of-32 clash with Ecuador, who were beaten 2-0 in Mexico City.
