Plus: Argentina's anthem mix-up in College Station, Brazil's win over Egypt and Wesley's World Cup-ending injury, Scotland's statement performance over Bolivia, England's unconvincing win and the Raymond James Stadium scoreboard disaster, and a deep dive on France's internal drama heading into the tournament.
