                                                                                         The Asian side's thrilling advance to the brink of the last 16 - which had so much to do with Colombia imploding in the first minutes of the opening game the two sides played - had always obscured their technical deficiencies at the back.

                                                                                              Cristiano Ronaldo showed off his astonishing leg muscles as Portugal trained at their Moscow base on Wednesday morning ahead of the tough last-16 clash with Uruguay.

The weight of this contest is so apparent that unlike Portugal's previous training sessions in Russia, there was a certain air of focus and intensity about it that even Ronaldo's legs would be feeling it.

Serbia 0-2 Brazil: Superb Paulinho finish and thumping Thiago Silva header sets up last 16 clash with Mexico as Tite's side top Group E

                                                                                      Serbia were applauded from the field by their noisy, vibrant supporters told us that this had been a little bit closer than Brazil would have liked.

Brazil will now face Mexico in the last sixteen in Samara. They remain beguiling to watch and will probably get better from here. Last night, for example, there were signs that Neymar is growing in to the tournament after recovering from his long-term ankle injury.

Sweden went 3-0 up in the 74th minute when Edson Alvarez scored an own goal via an attempted clearance

                                                 

Mexican supporters in the stand finally celebrated. Sombreros were up in the air, drinks were splattering and fans joyously embraced. On the pitch, some Mexican players broke were on their haunches, breaking down in tears.

Tears of distress? For some of them, surely. Kim Young-Gwon had scored a shock winning goal for South Korea against Germany and while the news filtered through for supporters on their smartphone, many Mexican players did not appear to know. They thought they had blown it all.

Holders Germany crash OUT of the World Cup

                                                                                        - Germany, reigning world champions, the consummate tournament team, are out of the World Cup at the group stage.Sweden won the group by beating Mexico 3-0 in the other match taking place at the same time, meaning Germany needed to defeat South Korea to get through in second place. Germany would have progressed with a win at the Kazan Arena but barely looked capable of scoring against the Koreans, let alone going on to successfully defend the title they won in Brazil four years ago.

The defeat means Australia finish bottom of Group C, while both France and Denmark qualifying for last 16

                                                                                          The South Americans through — they were already destined to go home — but Guerrero’s journey has been such that it will nevertheless go down in Peruvian football history. 

The captain feared he would never get to play in a World Cup after being banned for 14 months for testing positive for traces of cocaine. the 34 year-old hooked home a second half shot to seal Peru’s first victory of the tournament and end Australia’s dreams, the 26,000 Peru fans packed into the Fisht Stadium went into meltdown.

Denmark 0-0 France:first goalless draw at World Cup after 38 games as both sides ease into last 16

                                                                                                FIFA’s big rule book and see if there was any way that we could send both France and Denmark home.

The whistles that greeted the conclusion of the game almost drowned out the stadium music. That in itself is not such a bad thing but we have not seen much like this in Russia 2018 and we should be very relieved about that.Both knew a draw would leave them in the top two places in a group where it was hard to work out whether first was any more use than second.

Iceland 1-2 Croatia: Ivan Perisic strikes late to maintain perfect record and send minnows home from the World Cup

                                                                                               Ivan Perisic thrashed a Croatia winner just as stoppage time approached, capitalising on Iceland throwing men forward on the hunt for a second goal.

The Argentina legend stood out with his antics and unveiled a flag of himself,Maradona

                                                                                      Diego Maradona was at the centre of another storm with his uncouth behaviour in the stands at St Petersburg during Argentina's World Cup win over Nigeria.

The 57-year-old looked increasingly the worse for wear each time the camera panned to him, swearing and giving insulting hand gestures.

NIGERIA 1-2 ARGENTINA - MARTIN SAMUEL IN ST PETERSBURG:

                                                                                     Marcos Rojo that propelled Argentina into the final 16, but this was about him. This was about our desire for one player to stay. Save Messi. That is what the neutrals desired.He shot, across goalkeeper Francis Uzoho, and the ball moved obediently into the far corner of Nigeria’s net without further instruction. A gem of a goal from a gem of a player. Argentina’s travelling support, but their joy was spread wide. It would take a heart of stone not to smile at this. Messi endures.

                                                                                     Ronaldo and Sadio Mane console the very emotional winger, who was replaced by Adam Lallana after 31 minutes                                                                                                          There was nothing spectacular, nor enthralling. But the damage was enormous.

Karius raged, Jordan Henderson protested to the referee. But really there was nothing to be said. Benzema's foot wasn't especially high and he wasn't even that close. It was an awful mistake, plain and simple, made in front of the world. A groan of sympathy echoed around the ground as the replay was shown.

                                                                                         Sadio Mane levelled the scoring at 1-1 in the 55th minute after tapping home following a header from Dejan Lovren                                                                                                                                                         Liverpool had by far the better of the game's opening. On 11 minutes, a Salah flick and cushioned header by Roberto Firmino allowed Terence Alexander-Arnold to sprint through on goal which required Keylor Navas to race from his line to smother.

When Dani Carvajal sent an attempted cross field pass straight out for a corner on 17 minutes, it seemed to represent the minor panic induced in Real Madrid by Liverpool's sheer ferocity. From the corner, Virgil van Dijk headed just over. Better would follow on 22 minutes, when Firmino's shot was deflected into the path of Alexander-Arnold. His strike, firm and low, forced a fine save from Navas.
