Fri 2 Nov – Richarlison rested as Brazil goes through to knockout stages

Brazil had already secured their place in the knockout stages of the competition, meaning they treated this game as a training match. Richarlison was rested.

Thu 1 Nov – Ivan Perisic plays full match as Croatia goes through to knockout stages

It was a boring 0-0 draw for Croatia as they held out for a draw against Belgium, meaning Perisic was not involved from an attacking perspective. Still, he will take it as the one point was enough for Croatia to secure their place in the knockout stages of the competition.

Wed 30 Nov – Hugo Lloris unused as France goes through to knockout stages

Wed 30 Nov – Romero plays full match for Argentina

Christian Romero joins the list of Tottenham players who have progressed to the knockout stages. It was an impressive 2-0 win and this clean sheet will mean the most to him.

Tue 29 Nov – Sarr unused for Senegal

Senegal secured their place in the knockout stages of the competition, meaning Tottenham young lad Sarr will face England on Sunday in the hope of game time.

Mon 28 Nov – Bentancur plays full match for Uruguay

It has been an underwhelming tournament so far for Uruguay. They need a win against Ghana and for other results to go their way, otherwise they will be out of the competition.

Brazil solidified their place in the knockout stages of the World Cup. Richarlison played 73 minutes before being subbed off in their 1-0 win over Switzerland on Monday.

Mon 28 Nov – Son plays full game for South Korea

Unless results go their way, it looks like South Korea will be exitting the competition early. They have just one point in two games after losing to Ghana today. Son played the whole game but got no goal returns and, in all honesty, did not play great either.

Sun 27 Nov – Ivan Perisic bags two assists for Croatia

Sat 26 Nov – Romero comes off the bench for 21 minutes for Argentina

Tottenham boy Sarr was brought in for the final 12 minutes for Senegal.

Tue 22 Nov – Hojbjerg has quiet game for Denmark, plays full 90 minutes

Hojbjerg kicked off his World Cup campaign not in the manner he would have liked, drawing 0-0 with Tunisia. He had moments of class but overall, a quiet game from the midfielder.

Tue 22 Nov – Romero subbed off after disappointing defensive display

Argentina did not play well against Saudi Arabia as they fell short. Romero conceded two goals in quick concession before the defender was rightly subbed off. He will look to improve in the next match.

Mon 21 Nov – Ben Davies plays well at centre-back for Wales

Wales played a back three against USA, Ben Davies played the entire 90 minutes and despite conceding a goal, looked good for his country. A 1-1 draw to kick off the group stage in a hotly contested group for Wales.
