Nations that are knocked out
Sweden - Always seem to go past the group stages but wind up with tough teams in later stages.

Mexico - A north american favourite but seems to lack fire power

Australia - Incredible job of going past the group stages but only to lose out to Italy on a late penalty.

Switzerland - Surprised everyone on the group stages by topping the group but created a record the first team to miss all the penalties.

Ecuador - Did well. Lost to Germany. Then out of the World Cup by a Beckham Special freekick.

Holland - Remains as a unlucky team

Ghana - Did Africa proud. Beating the Czechs and USA. Losing out to Brazil.

Spain - Always seem to be overboard with the luck they have. Easy qualifying groups and group stages, but can't seem to click it on the knock out stages.

Nations that are going to the next round
Germany - Favourites to win. Their attacking play has given other nations to be feared of. Host nation, the whole country is behind them.

Argentina - After the whitewashing of Serbia and Montenegro they look to continue their form under Jose Peckerman.

Italy - Looking strong to win thier 4 World Cup despite Pesotto attempting to commit suicide.

Ukraine - Lost to Spain in the opening game, but picked up their gear and going past Spain who are favourites to win the World Cup.

England - Clueless of how they play but managed to top group B. Barely beat Ecuador and Owen out of the World Cup due to an injury.

Portugal - After a battle with Holland that ended in 4 red cards and 14 yellow cards, Maniche scored the only goal to seal the Dutch's fate.

Brazil - Need i say more the samba flair, 5 times World Cup Champions. Always the favourites to win the World cup again.

France - A lucky Houdini escape to the next round. Seeing off Spain. Zizou is back. And the 1998 World Cup champions hoping to see some kind of magic from Hendry as they face off against Brazil in the Quater-Finals.
