With Belgium and England now officially through to the Round of 16, all that remains for Tunisia and Panama, the other two nations in at the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, is to try to bow out with a bang. Both teams will be intent on putting on a good show, serving up goals and securing a victory that would allow them to head home with their heads held high.

Tunisia suffered heartbreak in their opener against England, succumbing to a last-gasp 2-1 defeat after having adopted a cautious approach. This led them to change tack and go on the attack against Belgium in their second game, only to fall to an even heavier defeat. While that second encounter showcased their creativity and firepower, with several key defenders out injured, the Eagles of Carthage were far too open at the other end of the pitch and were punished in the 5-2 loss for a string of mistakes. Will they get the balance right this time round in order to claim a win that they have spent decades waiting for?

Meanwhile, World Cup debutants Panama fought well in their curtain-raiser against Belgium before eventually losing 3-0. However, they endured a tougher time against England, going down 6-1. Nevertheless, they will be buoyed by having broken their goalscoring duck through talismanic leader Felipe Baloy, which could inspire Los Canaleros to notch more goals and pick up their first point, or even victory, at the competition. With their players raring to write their names in their country's history, anything is possible.
