Elimination Stage
As mentioned in our first post, these are the 8 groups that were randomly drawn for the World Cup. If you remembered our first post you would know how the group stage works. The top 2 teams advance from each group, and after this we get the round of 16 or as Americans are more familiarized with, elimination stage.
To the right is the bracket after group stage. As you can see in the top left you have the winner of group A vs the runner up of group B. This way you often times get rewarded by winning your group with an opponent that's supposed to be weaker as they came in second, but some groups are much more competitive than others. You also play another group so you don't play someone who just played in group stage. Due to the uncertainty of group stage people often bet on head to head games or a point system of whom can guess the most first and second place teams. Once in the round of 16 and the bracket is complete you know which team plays who you get the "March Madness" type bracket pool type betting.
Feel free to print the team grouping picture and the bracket and predict the winner and runner up for each group. Links are below!
