Knockout Stages
The knockout stage was a single-elimination tournament involving the eight teams that qualified from the group stage of the tournament. There were two rounds of matches, with each round eliminating half of the teams entering that round. The successive rounds were: Semi-finals and Final. For each game in the knockout stage, a draw was followed by up to thirty minutes of extra time (two fifteen minute halves); If scores were still level after 30 minutes extra time there would be a penalty shootout (at least five penalties each, and more if necessary) to determine who progressed to the next round. Scores after extra time are indicated by (AET), and penalty shoot outs are indicated by (PSO).

Famous quotes containing the word stages:
“But parents can be understanding and accept the more difficult stages as necessary times of growth for the child. Parents can appreciate the fact that these phases are not easy for the child to live through either; rapid growth times are hard on a child. Perhaps it’s a small comfort to know that the harder-to-live-with stages do alternate with the calmer times,so parents can count on getting periodic breaks.”
—Saf Lerman (20th century)
