World Cup for Beginners

phatima · June 14, 2006, 4:40pm

Salaam,

I don’t know much about how this whole World Cup Series works, so I was wondering if someone could tell me more about it (i.e. how the games are set up, what teams are up so far, how many games are played, what these “Groups” A-H are…etc.)

Muchos Gracias.

Re: World Cup for Beginners

Okay so the Groups are just the designated matches to determine who will advance to the next round, yea?

How many rounds are there?

When are the finals? I heard they're in Germany.

Re: World Cup for Beginners
