Why it matters
Group stage, Group H — points on the line.
Federico Valverde
Uruguay
The engine and heartbeat of this Uruguay side, the man they look to when the pressing needs a leader.
Lamine Yamal
Spain
The teenage spark lighting up the attack and the one everyone will be watching.
That's that, then. Uruguay are out at the group stage — the maths finally caught up. A disappointing end, but there'll be stories to tell and lessons to take from it.
Spain are into the last 32. Job done in the group, and now the tournament really begins — one-and-done from here, every match a final.
Read it again slowly: Spain have won the World Cup. They beat Argentina 1–0 in the final, and everything this family shouted at a screen all summer just turned into the story you'll be telling for the rest of your lives. Champions of the world.
From the group stage to the last kick of the summer — Spain went the whole way. A family that followed every minute of it now owns the best ending football can write. World champions.
