Cape Verde have made a dream World Cup debut. As Vardy has set his sights on the knockout stage, the team will now face Lionel Messi's Argentina. The Atlantic island nation held Saudi Arabia to a goalless draw in Group H to advance to the second round. 

Cape Verde will now face defending champions Argentina in the match at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium on July 3. "For us, nothing is impossible anymore," Vardy coach Bubista said after the Saudi Arabia match, while wearing his country's national flag around his neck. This was Cape Verde's third consecutive draw. Therefore, the team collected 3 points from the group stage. European champions Spain were the group winners. The team beat Uruguay 1-0 in the next match. Two-time World Cup winners Uruguay are out of the tournament after a 2-2 draw with Cape Verde on Sunday.

The team has just two points. Spain's victory came at a cost. Yaremya Pino has a shoulder injury and Nico William has a muscle problem. The results of this group are so important that these two results will ensure that England, Portugal, Ghana, Egypt and Paraguay all qualify for the last 32.

Earlier, France maintained their excellent form and defeated Norway 4-1. France finished top of Group 'I'. Reigning Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele scored a hat-trick in France's victory. This was his second hat-trick in the tournament. France maintained their 100% winning streak in the tournament. The match was a topic of discussion before the match, as it was also a personal clash between France's Kylian Mbappe and Norway's Erling Haaland. But this situation did not come to the game. Because Manchester City star Haaland was initially on the bench.

France will now face Sweden in the last 32 match. Norway's opponent will be Ivory Coast. Senegal managed to collect the first three points of the tournament by beating Iraq 5-0 to enter the next round. A good goal difference win will put the West African country in one of the best eight teams to finish third. Iran drew 1-1 with Egypt in the final match on Friday.

With this result, Egypt has advanced from Group 'G' while Iran will have to wait for its fate. This result means that Egypt remains second in the group. Belgium won 5-1 against New Zealand. Arsenal's Leandro Trossard scored twice, while Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez scored once each. Belgium finished ahead of Egypt on goal difference and advanced to the last 32.
