The 2015 Women's World Cup group play wrapped up Wednesday, as the last of the final 16 teams were locked in for the knockout phase of the tournament.
Three of FIFA's top seven teams were in action Wednesday and took care of business as expected. France routed Mexico 5-0 to inflate their goal differential and take Group F over England, who managed a 2-1 victory over Colombia in advancing to the Round of 16.
Brazil then won for the third time in as many matches 1-0 over Costa Rica, and South Korea became the second team in Group E to win a fixture with a 2-1 triumph against Spain to advance.
