(CNN Spanish) --
The group stage is over and the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar 2022 begins. During the first stage there were several surprises and although several of the initial candidates for the title advanced, there is no dominant team.

The Netherlands
defeated the
United States
3-1 and is the first to qualify for the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. After missing the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the Dutch are now emerging as candidates for the world title.

Australia
and
Argentina.
On Sunday the reverse disputes will take place:
Senegal
against
England
and
Poland
against
France
.
Group stage
South Korea achieved an impressive feat: they beat
Portugal
(already classified) 2-1 at the end
and, with that goal, they went to the round of 16 and eliminated Uruguay.
With the same points and the same goal difference (0), the South Koreans advance by having scored more goals during the group stage.
An epic ending for the Asians, and a very painful one for the South Americans.
Cameroon, for its part, surprised
Brazil
, which was already classified.
They defeated it 1-0 towards the end, but it did not help the Africans, because
Switzerland
defeated Serbia 3-2 and ended up with 6 points, the same as Brazil.
The canarinha was first for the best goal difference.
