16 teams remain 🌟⚽️🏟️🏆

We've made it past the first stage of the World Cup. There have been many great matches so far and still more to come. Say goodbye to the group stage and prepare yourselves for the knockout stage where any loss will result in elimination. This means that instead of a draw, matches will play for 30 extra minutes. If it's still tied after that, there will be a penalty shootout.


Here are some interesting stats from the group stage:

Although there were zero teams that won all three of their group stage matches, there were a handful of teams that did not suffer a loss. USA was the only team to have clean sheets for all of their group matches. England and Spain were the highest-scoring teams.

The 16 teams that made it through the knockout stage were paired up against their next opponents. Every single matchup is one that has a chance of being a tight game. There is also the chance that any team left could go on a tear and blow out their opposing country. If we've learned anything so far in this World Cup, literally anything can happen.


You can see the rankings of the remaining teams and the odds for potential World Cup winners and Golden Boot recipients:

The bracket that remains for the knockout stage is one that will surely result in many more surprises at this tournament. Brazil, Argentina, France, and Portugal are the teams I'd most like to see win this World Cup. A Brazil vs Argentina semi-final is a possibility. The fact of the matter is, any one of these countries could potentially be our next champions. Of course, we will not find out who the winner is until the final match on Sunday, December 18th.

It's pretty shocking that Germany is out!!😂😂
Japan is group top!! In group stage none of the team won 3 matches!!This a new team can do it.japan!!!! Are you watching now Argentina vs australlia ?

For some reason, it made me happy to see Germany eliminated early yet again. Japan deserved its group.
Yes, I watched the Argentina match yesterday and am now preparing to see France go to work in an hour.

We already have the first matchup of the 4th final Netherlands vs Argentina

That is going to be such a great match, I cannot wait to watch it.

I see England hitting the final of the world cup

It’s possible, but I’m not convinced just yet. If they play France in the second round, that match will be insanely competitive.

Yea, USA still alive! woohoo! :)

This game was great

I assume you mean the USA game, since that’s the only one that’s played so far. Yes it was a solid game from both teams, but the Dutch were too tough for the Americans.

My favorite team is Argentina but only because of Lionel Messi they play against Australia today. The USA vs the Netherlands is coming to an end, a good game and a great World Cup with many young people for the USA

I love Argentina a lot because of Messi too. Too bad for USA, they are done for.

Who will win this world cup🤔

I don't think one team looks like a guaranteed winner. Hard to tell who it will be.

I think I am enjoying this very season of the world cup

I know I am enjoying every bit of it.

Same here also.. even watching a football match at the moment 😃😃
