The top two teams from each of the six groups automatically qualify for the knock-out phase. The four best third-placed teams, from the six groups, will also progress to the round of 16. To be among the four best third-placed teams a team needs at least 4 points but sometimes even 3 points can be enough. During the FIFA Under 20 World Cup Egypt 2009, Nigeria made it to “Sweet Sixteen” after ending up as one of the four best third placed teams. They had 3 points from 3 games (1 win and 2 losses).

GROUP E STANDINGS
Spain are through to the round of 16. U.S.A. and U.A.E. have to wait for the final games on October 30 and 31. One or both of them will make it to the round of 16. It’s win or go home for Malawi. Can they beat Spain? Yes they can but the loss to U.A.E. will haunt them.

GROUP F STANDINGS
Italy are through to the round of 16. Uruguay and Korea Republic have to wait for the final games on October 30 and 31. One or both of them will make it to the round of 16. It’s win or go home for Algeria.
