Where does one see the brackets? Or do they not get determined until after the group stage wraps up>?

 

[Krabby]

Thanks @Baddar and @Chris2K - so if I am reading those brackets right, Brazil will take on South Korea, and whoever emerges from Switzerland vs Serbia will draw the Portuguese?

As much as I understand and appreciate what analytics are trying to do, I think the growing contingent online of people who treat them like gospel just makes discussing sports about as fun as doing your taxes.

There are baseball players out there I can see with my own eyes that they are very one-dimensional, yet you can't say it online without the calculator crew going "WELL ACTUALLY"

My team's friggin General Manager is a damn WELL ACTUALLY guy.

Serbian turnaround!! 

I broke up with a girl for trying to give me one of those.

[Baddar]

USA beating Netherlands, Argentina, Brazil and then Spain in the final would be quite the run.

[Bobfoc]

Apart from CONCACAF, every represented confederation in this tournament has at least two teams in the knockout stages. That's a good sign for world football.

[Dang117]

Japan/England final please. Some interesting games coming up

[Adam]

What a peach of a cross and header that was by Cameroon.

[Chris2K]

CAMEROON! Does this mean Brazil/Portugal?

No. Stupid goal difference.

[Dang117]

OMG no team has won all 3 group games

[GoGo Yubari]

That is one of the funniest red card reactions I've seen.

[Baddar]

Brazil have been so wasteful in the final third tonight. Only themselves to blame if Switzerland score again.

[Chris2K]

I'm beginning to think Brazil are actively trying not to score.

[Bobfoc]

No teams have won three out of three in the group stage this year. I wonder if that's ever happened before. Only five teams have been unbeaten as well.

[Chris2K]

Yeah, how dare they have a successful gameplan and win the game.

[Gorka]

There we go, five teams without a win this tournament: Qatar, Wales, Canada, Denmark and Serbia.

[GoGo Yubari]

So wild that a player I got to watch in the US second division in front of a crowd of like a thousand people a few years ago was just part of the backline that held Brazil to zero goals in the World Cup. Hell yeah, Nouhou.

[Adam]

All of a sudden, England labouring to a 0-0 bore draw with the USA doesn't look so bad.

Brazil lost to Cameroon, who are out. Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia, who are out. France lost to Tunisia, who are out. Spain lost to Japan. Portugal lost to Korea. Germany and Belgium are out themselves.

In fact, only England, Netherlands and Morocco reached 7 points. USA are one of the only other two unbeaten sides.

[gunnar hendershow]

So based on results and goal differential the top 3 teams in the World Cup are, in order, England, The Netherlands, and Morocco.

This is shaping up to be an interesting World Cup.

Some really good performances from overlooked or underestimated teams.
