CONCACAF got three teams into the last 16, England, Italy and Spain went home early. UEFA has taken it right on the chin so far.
Same as last time so far.
2010 and 2014, UEFA sent 13 teams. Both tournaments, 6 advanced.
2010 World Cup , advanced out of group stage: Spain, Netherlands and Germany, the top 3. And then, England, Slovakia and Portugal
2014 World Cup, advanced out of group stage: Netherlands, Greece, France, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland
2010 World Cup, France finishes 4th in group A, Serbia finishes 4th in group D, Italy finishes 4th in group F
2014, UEFA has one 4th place finisher, England in group D.
It's interesting that in 2010, UEFA had 2 more last place finishers.
A few factors to consider.
What we can say is this time, 3 of 4 CONCACAF teams advanced. Mexico has advanced every time since 1994. USA advances for the first time, 2 times in a row. Costa Rica actually qualified for the final 16 before in 1990 under the famous Bora Milutinovic (also our coach in 1994).
BIG CONGRATS TO COSTA RICA, GREECE TOO for playing a sporting game.
