World cup 2018 kicks off tonight.
32 finalists - 8 groups of 4 and each team plays the others once.
Top 2 teams go through to the round of 16.
Then Quarter finals, semi finals and final.
Aussie, aussie, aussie.................................... and Denmark. 
Oh dear, Australia is out.
They just weren't good enough.
Australia has been a mediocre team for a number of years.
I just hope Azani stays, he can become the next Cahill.
But Denmark make it through and so do France.
SPOILER ALERT
Wow, first time since 1938 "Die mannschaft" has been eliminated from group stage. (first rounds)
In fact they finished bottom of the group.
Correction in my pic of groups - GROUP G, Should be England has 6 points not Panama.
A close finish and unfortunately for the first time in history, Senegal are eliminated on yellow cards.
Here are the winners from the group stage (final 16) and how they will play this round of elimination to go into the quarter finals.
France v Argentina
Uruguay v Portugal
Spain v Russia
Croatia v Denmark
Brazil v Mexico
Belgium v Japan
Sweden v Switzerland
Colombia v England
France win over Argentina 4 - 3
Uruguay win over Portugal 2 - 1
So the 2 best players in the world are going home. Messi and Ronaldo.
France will play Uruguay in a quarter final.
Tonight is Spain vs Russia and Croatia vs Denmark.........................GO DENMARK
Some surprises.
Russia win with penalty shots over Spain.
And Croatia win with penalty shots over Denmark. 
Gee, Schmeichel with so many penalty saves I was sure Denmark would advance. Not to be.
So another quarter final will be Russia vs Croatia.
