Question
If Netherlands and Portugal lose in the second round, while Spain and Germany make it to the semi-finals, then who would play Brazil in the quarterfinals, in the event Brazil reaches quarterfinals?
Answer: Option D
:
D
Brazil / rank 1's opponent in Round 3 is what we need.
Ideal Scenario in round 3 Brazil (1) opponent is 8 (as 1+8=9).
We could mark Rank 8(Portugal) to be Brazil's opponent in the quarters but we know Portugal lost in round 2.
In Round 2, Portugal (8) would ideally play team 11 (8+11=17: "Round 2 Magic Number”) so Team 11 beats Portugal and plays Brazil in round 3!
Answer is Team 11- Nigeria (d)
