football question.

yeah,
i know,
wrong 4um muppet.
world cup tournie.
how many teams go through to the knockout stage?
anybody know?
am tempted by germany's 15/1.
maybe back them now,
and get my stake back later for a freebie.

Top two of each group, Eric. The draw is preset as well

so how many groups are there?
do you know?
was my guess right?
16 go through?

yeah

They would be guaranteed to play one of the qualifiers from England's group - win the group, they play the second, runner up, they play the winner

Eight groups, Eric, yes, they pare down to sixteen

right.
okay.
i'm on at 15/1.
if i can trade at 10/1 i'll be happy.
