The biggest football extravaganza in the world is in high
gear, with all players eager to give the best for their national teams. Like
any other tournament, football betting fans are busy looking at what the round
of 16 will look like. Some of the questions they are asking themselves include
who will make it to the round of 16? Who can each team play in the next round
of the tournament?
If you are asking yourself these
World Cup questions, you are in the right place. Here are some interesting
insights:
Qatar suffered the humiliation
of being the first host nation to bow out of the tournament after two games.
Canada was the second team to be knocked out of the competition after losing to
Croatia 4-1. With most of the groups still wide open, World Cup betting for Kenyan players gets
more interesting. So, who makes it to the round of 16?
Group A remains wide open after
the last round of games. Netherlands and Ecuador are locked on four points,
while Senegal are third with three points. The last matches see Ecuador play
Senegal while the Netherlands play Qatar.
The Netherlands must win or draw
against Qatar to qualify for the next round. On the other hand, whoever wins
the game between Senegal and Ecuador qualifies. If they draw, Ecuador goes
through. But Qatar can help Senegal qualify if they beat the Netherlands.
Group B is also wide open, with
England leading with four points. The last matches will be like finals! England
faces off with Wales while Iran goes up against the USA. As things stand, all
teams can still qualify.
England must avoid a defeat
against Wales to secure their qualification. A win will help them finish top of
the group, while a draw will mean they rely on other results. Whoever wins the
match between Iran and USA qualifies.
But, if England fails to beat
Wales and Iran draws with Wales, Iran qualifies. If Wales beats England, they
will need Iran and USA to draw for them to go through.
All Group C teams can still
qualify. The last round of matches will see Poland play Argentina and Saudi
Arabia face off with Mexico. Poland needs a win or draws to guarantee
their qualification. Argentina must win to guarantee their
qualification.
If Saudi Arabia wins, they go
through, but a draw will mean they depend on the results of Argentina vs Poland
game. Mexico must win and pray that Argentina loses.
France has already qualified
after winning their first two matches. Tunisia, Denmark and Australia can still
qualify. The last matches will be Tunisia vs France and Australia vs Denmark.
Whoever wins the match between Denmark
and Australia will advance. But, if the match ends in a draw, Tunisia can
qualify by beating France.
All the teams in this group can
still qualify. The last round of matches sees Japan face Spain while Germany
faces off with Costa Rica. Spain will secure a spot in the Round of 16 if they
avoid a defeat in their final group match. If they lose and Costa Rica wins,
they will be out of the tournament. If Spain loses and Germany wins, the second
place will be decided by goal difference.
Japan must win to qualify, while
Costa Rica must win and hope Japan and Spain draw to qualify. If Germany and
Spain win, the Germans finish the group second.
Canada is out of the tournament
after losing their first two matches. Croatia needs a win/draw against Belgium
to qualify. If they lose, they will hope Morocco to lose to qualify. Morocco
needs a win/draw and will also qualify if Croatia beats Belgium. On the other
hand, Belgium must beat Croatia to qualify.
All the teams can still qualify.
The teams have two games to play, and as this tournament has shown us, anything
can happen.
