I have edited the above based on predictions made last time, the incorrect positioning and choices are italicised.
Very European - a run down on the Preliminary Placings
10/14 European Sides have made the final 16. (14 Places)
3/4 South American Sides did. (4.5 Places)
1/4 CONCAF (North and Central America) Nations (3.5 Places)
1/5 African Nations Made it. (5 Places)
0/4 Asia. They only gets a look in if you consider that Australia is considered Asian since the start of the year. (4.5 Places)
1/1 Oceania (as Qualified but AUS is now technically Asain) - (0.5 Places)
Out of the teams who qualified through play-offs, 3 (Spain, Australia and Switzerland) have made the Second Phase. 2 (Trinidad and Tobago, Czech Republic) Didn't.
Also possibly interesting is that Serbia and Montenegro and Croatia both won their Qualifying Groups, Poland also qualified Automatically (But all are going home).
Ok, lets tip Quarter Finals

England v Netherlands (I don't know why I keep tipping them)
Brazil v Spain.
