Argentina got Group J ticking with a clean 3-0 over Algeria. No fuss, no scares, exactly the sort of statement you want from a side carrying expectations. Austria did their bit too, seeing off Jordan 3-1 to keep the group nicely poised.

Group K stayed tight. Portugal and Congo DR shared the points in a 1-1 draw, which is a result Congo will take all day and one that leaves Portugal with a bit of thinking to do. Then to Group L, where England and Croatia served up the day's busiest scoreline. England came out the right side of a 4-2 affair. Six goals, three points, and the usual nation holding its breath.

Argentina, though. Two-time winners before that 2022 night in Qatar, Maradona dragging the lot of them along in '86, Messi finally getting his hands on it after a career of near-misses. Few jerseys carry more weight. Draft them and see if you can go unbeaten all the way.

Reckon you could do better than what you watched today?
