The 2022 World Cup group stage is officially in the books and the last 16 line-up looks incredible.

The group stage round threw up some massive upsets and results, with Saudi Arabia stunning Argentina, Cameroon beating Brazil and Japan topping their group ahead of Spain and Germany, who're no longer in the World Cup.

Australia pipped Tunisia and Denmark to second place in Group D, sparking wild scenes down under.

Morocco also made it to the next round, topping Group F ahead of 2018 World Cup finalists Croatia.

But there's also no Belgium, Denmark and Uruguay in the last 16, but this year's tournament has thrown up some tasty ties in the next round.

The knockout stage begins on Saturday as the Netherlands face USA while Argentina take on Australia.
