elinaxy:There were 6 groups with 4 teams each (representing 24 countries). Best 2 teams in each group qualified automatically, to produce 12 winners. But there will be a problem if only 12 teams go on to the knock-out stage. If the 12 teams are paired, then 6 will emerge as winners. If we go on to pair 6 teams, 3 of them will emerge as winners. But how do you now pair 3 teams to produce a final winner ? It's impossible! This problem will always arise when the number of teams being paired is not a power of 2 e.g. 10, 12, 14, 18 or 24 teams, because you will always arrive at an odd number at some point before reaching 2. The solution is then to increase the number of teams to a number that is a power of 2 e.g. 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 teams, which will allow you to always arrive at two last teams that will play the final. The extra teams are selected from the losers. The best losers are selected based on their performance in the group stage. In the case of Ivory Coast, because they won their first match against Guinea-Bissau, so they were lucky to be among the best 4 losers chosen to complete the 16 teams needed to move on to the knock-out stage. The 4 best losers were added to the 12 teams that qualified normally. 1 Like |

Topman7: The Senegalese team has a very weak point which many teams have not exploited at all. they will be under pressure to perform as defending champions. but Ivory Coast will beat them...…. 1 Like 1 Share |

KosiGee: Right. This is football & anything can happen. Just that it's kind of funny that after sacking their coach & narrowly managing to qualify, they ended up landing Senegal. |

INTEGRITYA1:The first 2 teams in each of the 6 groups qualify automatically while the 4 best teams among the 3rd placed in the groups qualify too to make up the 16 teams to play in the second round knockout matches. Ivory Coast is the 4th best 3rd place finisher. Assuming Zambia had not lost to Morroco, they would have made it instead of Ivory Coast 1 Like |

Justhere:4 of which have already booked their place in quarter finals . While those that are facing the one time winners could pull a surprise win. In football anything can happen though I want super eagles to win this tournament. |
