    Get Involved - Will Tuchel ring the changes?published at 10:06 BST

    Panama v England (Sat, 22:00 BST)

    If England had beaten Ghana, Thomas Tuchel may have been more liberal with making wholesale changes to his side for Saturday's match against Panama.

    As it stands, though, the Three Lions need a victory to eliminate any doubt of them finishing top of the group.

    With this in mind, how many changes do you think Tuchel will make on Saturday? Get involved and let us know.

    Thomas Tuchel says he has a near-fully fit squad to choose from for England's game against Panama on Saturday.

    Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson have recovered from their respective knocks, but right-back Reece James is out until at least the last-32.

    Rice is on a yellow card and at risk of suspension, but the England manager says he is happy with the options he has in all positions, with his players ready to perform their roles "to the highest level."

    Had Norway put out their 'normal side' today, they've got about six players that are over 6ft 4in, 6ft 5in, they are good players as well, Haaland in there. That would have been a different question for France. They wouldn't have given as much space. We might not have been purring.

    Norway manager Stale Solbakken made 10 changes after two group victories, including resting Manchester City forward Erling Haaland.

    Ultimately, the outcome to this final group tie was a case of differing managerial approaches. Norway needed a win to finish ahead of France but, with his selection, Solbakken showed he was satisfied with second place in the standings.

    We were always excited about this France team because of the firepower that they have attacking wise and what they can do with the ball. I would have liked there to be a bit less chances given to Norway.

    There were moments in the box where the defending looked a bit easy, where the French maybe took it a bit for granted. We said from the beginning that the biggest issue with this team and squad is that we get very arrogant, very quickly. The problem will be when they don't have the ball.

    But, when they are on it, and you start to add all of the options up from the start and from the bench, it looks really scary.

  6. 'Like the Harlem Globetrotters - the team to beat'published at 09:55 BST

    There are other teams that can win it but without doubt France are the team to beat. They have had moments, there have been halves where they have been sparkling. To describe some of the forward play, it's like the Harlem Globetrotters. They scored four goals, it could easily been five or six.

    They play at a pace that I don't think anyone is close to. The attack with the quality and skill, is better than anyone else.

    There will come a time where they need to do it for 90 minutes, and we will find out when the big games come around. So far it has been a wee bit of a cruise.

    Norway 1-4 France

    France assistant coach Guy Stephan, who led the team with manager Didier Deschamps having returned home following the death of his mother, said Ousmane Dembele had been in part inspired by criticism from the French media.

    "Ousmane is a human being, just like anyone he can hear the criticism," Stephan said. "He has unfortunately had injury issues but every time he comes back harder and harder. Three goals in a World Cup game is exceptional."

  8. Dembele the 'ringmaster'published at 09:53 BST

    Kylian Mbappe had threatened to grab the headlines again after just 21 seconds when he crashed an effort off the underside of the crossbar, but he was fairly reserved after that, having the fewest touches in the first half of any French outfield player.

    The game had shades of France's 2022 quarter-final, when England kept Mbappe quiet, but Antoine Griezmann ran the show.

    In Boston, Ousmane Dembele was the ringmaster before taking his bow midway through the second half.

    This was the first time he has scored more than once in a match for France - and his third goal was particularly special.

    There were 17 passes before the hat-trick strike, the most in the build-up to a France goal at the World Cup on record, with all 11 players touching the ball.

    Having taken a supporting role to his former PSG team-mate Mbappe in the opening two games, Dembele steered Les Bleus to three World Cup group wins for the first time since 1998 - when they hosted, and won, the tournament.

    Norway finish on six points and will take on Ivory Coast in Dallas, also on Tuesday (18:00 BST).

    Senegal beat Iraq5-0 to finish on three points and with a +2 goal difference they will be one of the eight best third-placed teams. Who they play next is still to be confirmed.

    Uruguay 0-1 Spain

    Muslera mistake gifts Spain win as 10-man Uruguay crash out 'in disgrace'

    After drawing criticism for a stale performance in their goalless opener against Cape Verde, Spain's attacking prowess was on full display when they thrashed Saudi Arabia 4-0 on matchday two.

    Against Uruguay, Luis de la Fuente's side showed they can grind out wins against difficult and physical opponents, something they might have to do in the knockouts.

    But Spain didn't quite click - they mustered just six shots, one of which was on target, and had less possession than their opponents in a World Cup match for the first time since 2002.

    That said, for the first time La Roja have not conceded a single goal in a World Cup group stage.

    Improvement is required, but it is still early days.

    For Uruguay, this early World Cup exit is the result of a trend that began during the 2024 Copa America.

    At no point during this tournament did the two-time champions look like a Bielsa team. Against Spain, they had short spells of intense pressing, but for a Bielsa side to muster one shot on target would once have been unthinkable.

    It was Bielsa's decision to bring Muslera out of international retirement earlier this year, but he is now the first goalkeeper on record (since 1966) to make three errors leading to goals in a single World Cup.

    The sight of a much-maligned coach substituting a national team legend may be the enduring image of Bielsa's Uruguay tenure.

  14. 'I leave nothing' - the end of 'toxic' Bielsa's Uruguay reignpublished at 09:33 BST

    Uruguay 0-1 Spain

    In substituting a national team hero at half-time before delivering a brutally honest self-reflection, the end of Marcelo Bielsa's tenure as Uruguay manager felt rather fitting.

    A 1-0 defeat by Spain in Guadalajara condemned the two-time World Cup winners to a humiliating second successive group-stage exit, and neatly summed up Bielsa's struggles as head coach.

    Like he did after draws with Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde left Uruguay needing a positive result against the European champions, Bielsa blamed himself.

    "I am responsible for this disappointment," said the 70-year old, who before the tournament told reporters "I am toxic".

    "Obviously, I don't need to define this performance... if you ask me how my time [with the national team] will be remembered, it is a tenure that left nothing behind.

    "I leave nothing to Uruguayan football, because any contribution I might make to a country where I have worked for three years fails to take root if results aren't achieved."

  15. Contrasting scenes in Guadalajara as Uruguay bow outpublished at 09:29 BST

    Uruguay 0-1 Spain

    The contrast between the scenes in Houston - where Cape Verde booked a place in the last 32 - and those at the Estadio Guadalajara - following the conclusion of the other match in Group H - could not have been more stark.

    Uruguay blew their chance to book a place in the last 32 with a limp 1-0 defeat to Spain.

    A costly error by Fernando Muslera led to defeat by Spain - with head coach Marcelo Bielsa substituting the legendary goalkeeper at half-time.

    European champions Spain were already practically guaranteed a place in the last 32 before kick-off, but Alex Baena's strike late in the first half meant they topped Group H and will face the runners-up of Group J - either Austria or Algeria.

    Uruguay's miserable night was completed when midfielder Agustin Canobbio was sent off in stoppage time for a high challenge on Pau Cubarsi.

    Bielsa's side needed a positive result to secure progression, but defeat meant them suffered a second successive World Cup group stage exit with two points from three games.

    I think those sceptics who thought expanding the World Cup wasn't the right thing might be rethinking it watching these Cape Verde fans because this is really special. A country of 500,000 people getting to the knockout phase.

    We've seen Uruguay, one of the biggest countries, going out and then one of the smallest teams making it to the knockout phase.

    What a moment for them.
