Group play is over and the second round is ready to start. Looking at the second round, I can't help but notice that the quarterfinals are guaranteed to have 3 nations from Europe (no less and no more), while the Americas (North/South/Central) are guaranteed to have 2 nations in the quarterfinals, but could have as many as 5, and Asia is left between 2 at best and none at worst.
The semifinals could see all four teams from the Americas, or it could be three from Europe, but I think the likely split is two nations from Europe and Americas. My guess: Brazil, Germany, Uruguay and Spain, although I hold out hope that it'll be: Brazil, Argentina, US, Paraguay. After all, how exciting would it be, to have an all-Americas finals?
