With England meandering to a 0-1 loss to Belgium this morning that may help them in the long run, we're into the knockout stages of the Football World Cup.

Colombia, Japan, Belgium and England played their final group matches, meaning that the round of 16 match ups are now confirmed.

In Group G, England lost their unbeaten record, while Belgium advance with three wins from three, going through as group winners.

Meanwhile, Japan sneak into the next round thanks to the fair play rule, having received less yellow cards then unlucky Senegal.
