The Round of 16 at the World Cup, concluded on Tuesday night, with Argentina and Switzerland booking their places after overcoming Egypt and Colombia respectively.

While eight teams remain in the hunt for the coveted trophy, we now know the rankings for squads finishing from 9th to 16th place.

Beaten by England (3-2), Mexico finishes ninth, after winning its first four matches of the tournament without conceding a single goal. Caught off guard by Norway (2-1), Brazil ends its campaign in 11th place.
