On Wednesday, Mexico qualified to the Round of 16 for the seventh straight World Cup. This achievement will now have Mexico facing Brazil on Monday. Brazil and Mexico are now the only teams to have qualified for seven straight Rounds of 16 after Germany finished in last place of Mexico’s group. Germany had been the team with the most consecutive knockout round appearances, as they had only not made it out of the first stage in 1938. Brazil has made it out of every single group stage since 1966, which now is the longest streak.
