ROUND ROBIN results.Australia fell to Iran in the final qualifying round before the World Cup. As with the '94 World Cup held in the USA, I will be cheering for Argentina to win.
Argentina fell in the quarter finals and Brazil fell in the final.
Each team plays three group matches, scoring 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw. The top two teams in each group will progress to the knock out stage of the competition.
