full schedule for worldcup round of 16; a highlight the group stage
With all group stage matches
played, the 2014 Worldcup in Brazil will advance to the round of 16. Matches
will begin tomorrow, 28th June, 2014 after a one day rest, which is
observed after the group stage matches. So far the tournament has been remarkable
and we hope to see more jaw-braking moments before the tournament runs out.
Let us take a look at the report
of what happened in the group stage of the worldcup, who goes to the round of
16 and who much work they did to get there.
Group A (Brazil and Mexico)
Brazil tops group A after
winning two of their group stage matches and drawing 1 (against Mexico). Brazil
tops the group with 6 points from three games, same as Mexico, but have a
tremendous goal difference after scoring a lot of goals, all thanks to Neymar,
and conceding just few goals. They have a goal difference of 5 while Mexico has
3.
Group B (Netherland and Chile)
Netherland has performed more
than expected in this worldcup. With a FIFA ranking of above the 10th
spot, Netherland trashed the defending champions 5 to 1 and continued with
their winning spirit all through the remaining group stage matches. They
obtained all 9 points with many goals and Robin Van Persie has one of the best
goals scored so far in the tournament. Chile advance to the next stage of the
worldcup at the expense of the defending champions and the Australians.
Brazil will take on Chile on
Monday (June 28) while Netherland play against Mexico the following day.

advance to the round of 16. Argentina tops Group F with all 9 points intact
after winning all three matches with the Barca Star Lionel Messi scoring at
least one match in all matches. Nigeria heads into the round of 16 with
confidence, they have one of the best goal keepers at the 2014 worldcup in Brazil and will hope to see more
goals from their experienced forwards. They have to go as far as they can in
the worldcup to prove they are indeed the African Champions.
Group G (Germany, U.S.A)
Germany tops group G after
winning two of their matches and holding a 2-2 draw with Ghana. Portugal
