Re: World Cup for Beginners

Okay I was just joking. =)

I mean I know how to play the game...I just wanna know how this whold World Cup Series goes. What round are we in?

Re: World Cup for Beginners

32 teams participate, spread over 8 groups of 4.
In each group, each team plays each other. The first two of each group progress to the knock-out stage

1st team Group A vs 2nd team Group B
etc etc towards the final

In these knock-out rounds, if there is a draw penalties will follow.
We are currently in the first round (group matches).

Re: World Cup for Beginners

Is there like one match per day?

Re: World Cup for Beginners

^in the first round: 3 matches per day :D

afterwards: 2 matches and 1 match per day

Re: World Cup for Beginners

As an American, I think this whole World Cup thing is overrated.

We Americans don't care about soccer (or as the rest of the wrongly calls it football), even if our team is ranked #5 in the world.

I tried watching some of the matches they're showing on ESPN, and I have to say, they're incredibily boring.

USA will win the world cup by the way.

Re: World Cup for Beginners

By WE if you mean Pakistan, try finding it in the FIFA rankings. :slight_smile:
Pakistan is around 165th on the ranking. They just missed to qualify for the WC. lol
(My signature very much applies to them.) :slight_smile:

Re: World Cup for Beginners

Yes, seems like Pakistanis are too busy kicking each other's balls they don't have time to kick a FIFA one.

(Just joke, guys, it's just a joke).

Re: World Cup for Beginners

I think American Football is way more boring than Soccer. Plus, the FIFA World Cup is obviously going to be a big thing..it's international.

Re: World Cup for Beginners

^ its the biggest tournament on earthhhhhhhh!!!

ITs just a bunch of teams that play against each other and advance to the finals!!

Soccer is so much fun :D! even though pakistan isn’t in it! I still think Argentina will face Brazil in the finals :smokin:
