The group stage of the World Cup officially wrapped up and the knockout stage participants are starting to pack their bags home as the competition continues to dwindle down. For the first time since 1994, no team managed to score all nine possible points. To the surprise of everyone, heavyweights France, Brazil, Argentina, Spain and Germany all lost one game in the group stage. Germany and Spain have already packed their bags back home.
