Most interesting 1/8 final games?

Post by marutimon »

Looks like Cote d'Ivoire - Egypt is on the cards. Should be a cracker, but Cote d'Ivoire still have to win the group and they play Algieria next.

Nigeria vs Gambia / Tunisia should be good. Malawi vs Morocco should be entertaining at least. Apart from that no match really stands out.

You said all of that and didn't talk about a round of 16 game that will be a cracker. That is Burkina Faso vs Gabon.

Second round, not 1/8.

No. You need 32 teams for round of 16.

Now that you guys are mentioning this, I am confused too. I thought the round's name depends on the number of teams involved in the round.
