This Wednesday, in the Colombian morning, the qualifiers for the quarterfinals in men’s football of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games are defined. Only eight teams will continue in competition and will fight for the gold medal.
Four groups and only two teams will access the room keys.
Renowned national teams, such as Argentina, France and Germany, have their aspirations compromised. Spain, Brazil and Japan have an advantage but cannot relax either, as a blink could surprise them.
What happens if there is a tie in the group stage? The first item is the goal difference. If there is still a tie between two or more teams, the final ranking will be determined by a draw.
Next, how will the last date be, with games and schedules; also, the scores of each one to qualify for the quarterfinals.
