Where this comes from

Every result here was checked against two independent sources before it went in: ESPN's scoreboard feed and Wikipedia's tournament pages, compared match by match, and all 32 knockout scores and winners agreed. Group positions come from the list of qualified teams and from standings worked out from every group game, and the two agreed in every group. The awards were checked against Wikipedia, plus The Athletic and FOX Sports. Spot something that looks wrong anyway? The Report a bug button below lands straight in our inbox.
