Ok, there are 32 teams, in 8 groups of 4. They all play the other 3 teams in their group. The top two teams in each of the 8 groups after playing the 3 games advance.
You then have the final 16 and it becomes single elimination games from that point until the winner is declared.
Your team will play 3 games minimum, 7 games maximum.
Thanks for the explanation.
I was kind of hoping that the Ticos would beat Germany yesterday and weren't headed home today instead.
