Three of the World Cup's biggest stars return to the tournament with Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland and Lionel Messi all in action.
So what are the burning questions ahead of day 12 of the World Cup? Let's find out.
Argentina v Austria
It's a shoot-out to see who finishes top of Group J as Argentina take on Austria in a fascinating clash.
Both teams won their opening matches with Messi scoring his first-ever World Cup hat-trick.
Can the GOAT repeat the trick and overtake Miroslav Klose to become the World Cup's leading goalscorer?
Our prediction: Argentina 4-1 Austria
France v Iraq
France's second half performance in their win over Senegal last time should have everyone else in this tournament quaking.
Les Blues look at their absolute best right now and in Michael Olise have, arguably, the game's in-form player.
Anything other than a win for France would be a huge shock in this one.
Our prediction: France 2-1 Iraq
Norway v Senegal
This could potentially be one of the most interesting game in the entire group stage.
Norway, and Haaland in particular, looked incredibly good in their opening win over Iraq and now take on a Senegal side who simply have to bounce back from their loss to France.
If you're in Europe, this is a late one, but it'll be worth all the yawns on Tuesday.
Our prediction: Norway 3-1 Senegal
Jordan v Algeria
Do not make the mistake of thinking because this is a match between two minnows that this is going to be a game worth missing.
This World Cup has made fools of us already in that regard, and with both of these sides needing a win, this could be one of the better matches in matchweek 2.
Our prediction: Jordan 1-1 Algeria

In a squad full of attacking stars, it's Michael Olise who has impressed most for France so far.
The Bayern Munich winger has grown to become one of the best wide players in the world and is now taking his club form on to the biggest stage of them all.
Olise was sensational in Les Bleus' win over Senegal in the first matchweek and will be the man to watch as they take on Iraq with a place in the Round of 32 up for grabs.
