Silly question, but is the World Cup tournament single elimination? If Germany beats Portugal and the US beats Ghana, does the US have to play Portugal? Or do we go straight to playing Germany?

It start out round robin with groups of four (32 teams total) where everyone plays everyone. The two top teams advance. Once there are 16 teams its single elimination.

Four team group play consist of each team playing every team in their respected group. The top two teams in each group goes onto the knockout stage (Self explanatory).

Ties in the group are decided by goal differential. In group play 3 points for a win, 1 point for tie, and 0 for a loss.

No, round robin. Everyone in each group plays each other and the top 2 in each group advance to single elimination.
