World Cup: Who makes it to the knockout stages?

While laughing like a kid on sugar, the entire trajectory of your mood can change the next minute and you will be caught on HD, crying like a baby. Haha. This is exactly what the World Cup does to people.

It's filled with emotions especially when your country is on the big stage.

Can you imagine what it's like to be a citizen of Qatar at the moment? They are the host of this amazing World Cup, but they are the first country that got knocked out. Their fans must have been gutted to show up only to get trashed across 200 minutes of playing Ecuador and Senegal.

That's it with Qatar.

The games that were played this day in groups G and H of the World Cup were filled with a lot of drama. We saw so many goals galore and football fans all over the world enjoyed the moments. At least, I did. Hehe. Check them out;

• Cameroon 3 - 3 Serbia

• Brazil 1 - 0 Switzerland

• South Korea 2 - 3 Ghana

• Portugal 2 - 0 Uruguay

As it stands, this is how the countries rank in groups G & H

Brazil's position in group G is not a surprise at all. These samba lads are born to excel in this round leather game and they are one of the favourites tipped to win this year's World Cup.

In the last game of the group stages, we will likely see Brazil field in an entirely different starting XI compared to the ones we've been seeing so far. It will help everyone to get a much-deserved rest and be fresh to face the knockout stage of the competition.

Look at that! I must say I'm interested in the drama playing out in this group. The Koreans had a really good opportunity to get something out of their game against Ghana.

Even a point from that game would have placed Heung-Min-Son and his side in the second position. But, it wasn't to be. The Ghanaians got the job done majestically.

As for Uruguay, I can't even hide how surprised I am about their performance. It's so weird to see them sitting unopposed at the bottom of that table. They are going down a bad road.

Well, the games we saw today are a wrap to the second fixtures of the group stages. The final games of the group stages will start tomorrow with Group A & B going toe to toe for 90 minutes. It will be exciting to see all the countries that would progress to the knockout stages.
