The Fifa world cup 2018 is full of surprises with many upsets and underdogs performing amazingly. After the 11 th day of the world cup, here is an analysis of the things happened in the world cup and the teams who can qualify to the knockout stage.
The host of the tournament Russia had qualified for the round of 16 with stunning fashion alongside Uruguay who also managed to beat both Egypt and Saudi Arabia with a slight margin. That means, Salah's Egypt and Saudi Arabia are out of the world cup.
In group B, Portugal and Spain are both have 4 points while Iran have 3 points. Ronaldo's Portugal can qualify for the round of 16 if they managed to beat or draw with Iran in their last group stage match. While Spain can qualify if they manage to avoid a defeat to the Morroco who are already out of the world cup.
In group C, France has qualified for the last 16. Denmark are on 4 points while Ausrtalia on 1. Denmark have to take away atleast 1 point in their last match against France to confirm their place in the last 16. While Australia have to win their last match against Peru and also are dependent on the results of France and Denmark.
Group D was packed with full of surprises- firstly Iceland stops Argentina to a 1-1 draw and afterwards a humilating 0-3 loss to Croatia, and now they have a very difficult task to qualify. They have to beat Nigeria and also have to beat Iceland in goal difference if they are able to beat Croatia. The runner ups of the Fifa world cup 2018 are set to miss out of the last 16 if they failed to defeat Nigeria.
While group E was fully open with 3 teams battling for the two spots. The tournament favourites Brazil are on top with 4 points for which they have to struggle very hard. Switzerland also have 4 points and Serbia have 3. Brazil have to secure atleast a point to secure their place in the last 16 while Serbia have to defeat Brazil. Switzerland can book their place in the last 16 with atleast a draw with Costa Rica who fought hard but failed to qualify.
Group F was full of surprises, firstly Mexico beats the reigning champion with a goal to nil and then Germany comeback from a goal down to beat Sweden in the last minute with a brilliant free kick from Kroos, otherwise they will have a very tough job to qualify for the round of 16
Now if Germany beats korea republic and beats Sweden in the goal difference then they will qualify for the last 16 and that means Mexico will also qualify for the last 16.
Group G is the most straight forward with Belgium and England both qualified for the last 16 in a fantaatic fashion by winning 5-2 and 6-1 respectively. Now they will face each other and Tunisia and Panama will face to save their respect.
