With the move to expand this Cup by 16 more teams to 48, the World Cup increased from eight groups to 12.

On Thursday night, Mexico clinched Group A with a 1-0 win over South Korea, insuring they will play in Mexico City when the Round of 32 begins.
And keeper Raúl Rangel is a big reason for that win.
After a sluggish first half from Mexico — that led to the supporters at Estadio Guadalajara airing some frustration as the teams headed off the pitch at halftime — El Tri came out with more urgency as the second half began.
