Another fascinating week of World Cup action comes to a close, here are some of the biggest talking points from the round-of-32.

Best Player: Kylian Mbappe

The French superstar lit up the round-of-32 with a brace and 3-0 win against Sweden to send his side through to the last 16.

It puts Mbappe to five goals for the competition and 18 in total for all World Cup’s. He stands two goals behind Messi who extended his tally to 20 after scoring in the early hours of this morning against Cape Verde.

France take on Paraguay this evening in their hope to reach the quarter-finals. And with the way Les Blues are performing at this moment in time, it’s difficult to see any team stopping them any time soon.

Shock Exit: Germany

Germany made an early exit home after a shock defeat to Paraguay on penalties. The Germans missed three out of six penalties, which led to former boss Julian Nagelsmann stepping down from his position in charge.

German legend Jurgen Klopp is the front-runner to get the job. However, if he is successful will he be able to bring back German glory just like 2014?

Dark Horses: Mexico

Mexico defeated Ecuador 2-0 to put themselves through to the last 16, where they take on England in the famous Azteca stadium in the early hours of Monday morning.

Mexico haven’t conceded a goal throughout this tournament and have only lost two games in 89 competitive appearances at the Azteca.

England’s Thomas Tuchel said it will be “impossible” to surmount the “big disadvantage” of the Azteca, which is around 7,220 feet above sea level. This is after England’s two air-conditioned matches at the Dallas and Atlanta stadium.

An intimidating arena with the Mexico fans in full voice sets up a tasty encounter in Mexico City.
