THE SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES REACH THE GROUP OF SIXTEEN AFRICAN COUNTRIES DO NOT.

All the four South American countries have now gone and reached the group of sixteen. Argentina, Brazil , Uruguay and Columbia have gone and made it to this group. While Senegal , Tunisia, Nigeria and Morocco have not gone and reached the group of sixteen as yet. Senegal sadly missed out to the new F.I.F.A rules, which were introduced at this 2018 world cup in Russia. The new rules say that in case two countries are tied for the second spot in their respective group stages then it will come down to the country which boys were better behaved on the pitch. In other words the country that got the least yellow and red cards made it through. For example Japan and Senegal were tied with the same number of goals and number of points as well, but sadly Senegal had more cards red and yellow cards , so they , Senegal got eliminated . It was sadly a case of being so close and yet so very far.
