team in round of 16 based on continent:

euro = 6 teams (france, germany, holland, greece, switzerland, belgium)

conmebol = 5 teams (brazil, chile, colombia, uruguay, argentina)

caf = 2 teams (nigeria, algeria)

concacaf = 3 teams (mexico, costa rica, usa)

[Rebaño Sagrado]

6 (of 13) Europe, 5 (of 6) South America, 3 (of 4) CONCACAF, 2 (of 5) Africa, 0 (of 4) Asia.

[guest_07]

6 (of 13) Europe, 5 (of 6) South America, 3 (of 4) CONCACAF, 2 (of 5) Africa, 0 (of 4) Asia.

in term of % of success:

euro = 46.15%

conmebol = 83.33%

caf = 40%

concacaf = 75%

afc = 0%

It doesn't look too different in numbers from the Last 16 in 2010, where Europe and South America are concerned:

Europe (6): Germany, England, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain
CONMEBOL (5): Argentinia, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay
CONCACAF (2): Mexiko, USA
Asia (2): South Korea, Japan
CAF (1): Ghana

Still the semi finalists were Germany, Netherlands, Spain and Uruguay, that is 3 from Europe and 1 from South America.

Would this open up more spots for certain continents? is there some sort of point system that works similar to CL?

[Motogp69]

I love CONCACAF, but not sure we actually need any more spots.

Honduras are a decent side plagued by a few key injuries going into the World Cup.

I think with Panama, Canada, and Jamaica improving will only make that fourth spot slowly get better. I was particularly impressed with Panama through qualifying before Zusi saved Mexico.

Well this year only one of Colombia, Uruguay, Chile and Brazil can make the semifinals so we're unlikely to see how these would do against top European opposition. A mini Copa America.

On the other hand, it is likely that both Argentina and Brazil go through to the semis and then play against a European top team each, so there will be a direct match-up between UEFA and CONMEBOL after all.

Benzema:

MINUTES PLAYED - 270
GOALS SCORED - 3
SOLO RUNS INTO AREA - 10
ASSISTS - 2
DELIVERIES IN PENALTY AREA - 9
ATTEMPTS ON TARGET - 75 %
FOULS COMMITTED - 1

Even though he should have 5 goals (2 were robbed)
He's also very effective.

[rwo power]

Karim Benzema with 2 assists? IIRC, kicker.de has him with 3 assists. Which is correct?

And by the way, I just mentioned Thomas Müller above as I sensed the start of a new round of Messi - CR7 bickering XD
