"

The last 32 continues with three more tantalising ties with World Cup co-hosts Mexico, tournament frontrunners France and dark horses Norway taking to the field once more. Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé will be two of the headline acts in Tuesday’s matches. Mexico can make the last 16 for the eighth time in the last nine World Cups while Ecuador are aiming to make that stage of the tournament for only the second time in their history having never won a World Cup knockout game before.
