The Festival of FUTball party continues as the 2018 FIFA World Cup rolls forward. The second set of group stage matches had even more drama and entertainment than the first, proving again why it's one of the greatest tournaments on earth. From surprising performances from little-known players to the world's best proving their quality, a handful of players stood out in this round and are being recognized in the second Team of the Matchday, part of this year's Festival of FUTball.
Highlights from this set of players include England center back John Stones' brace against Panama, Luka Modric's performance pulling the midfield strings in Croatia's 3-0 win over Argentina, and Ahmed Musa's dominance in Nigeria's win over Iceland.
