Top 2 qualify automatically. Best 8 third-placed teams also advance.
Team Profiles
England arrive with arguably their most talented squad since 1966. Bellingham, Saka, Foden and Rice form a world-class core, while Tuchel's tactical acumen could be the final piece. Perennial nearly-men seek to end 60 years of hurt.
Croatia's remarkable generation โ finalist in 2018, third in 2022 โ gets one final shot with Modric conducting from midfield. A nation of 4 million continues to defy logic on the world's biggest stage.
Panama return to the World Cup looking to improve on their debut in 2018. A physical, well-organised side who thrive on set pieces and the incredible passion of their supporters.
The Black Stars bring the spirit of 2010 โ when they came one penalty from the semifinals โ to North America. Mohammed Kudus is an electrifying talent, and Ghana's physicality and pace trouble any defence.

Qualification Scenarios
The top 2 teams in Group L advance directly to the Round of 32. Additionally, the 8 best third-placed teams (from 12 groups) also qualify. This means a team could advance with as few as 3 points, or miss out with 4 โ goal difference and head-to-head records become crucial tiebreakers.
