France and Norway are level on six in Group I, and Brazil and Morocco remain tied at the top of Group C on four. England and Ghana share the lead in Group L on four apiece, with Croatia still alive on three after beating Panama.
Eliminations and the tightest groups
Haiti, Tunisia and Jordan were the first teams out, and Uzbekistan and Panama have now followed, both finishing their second round on zero points in Groups K and L. Group G and Group H remain tight, Egypt and Spain pulling away to four points while New Zealand and Saudi Arabia sit on one apiece, needing results in the final round to survive.

The top two in each of the 12 groups go through, joined by the eight best third-placed teams, sending 32 of the 48 nations into the knockout rounds.
