    The Latin American confrontations saw the favorites triumph. Mexico were eliminated by Chile, a crushing defeat after making it to the knockout round for the first time in many years. Ecuador were easily defeated by Uruguay, while Brazil won out the Selecao matchup, eliminating Portugal after a 1-0 victory. Costa Rica would also join the latin american squads in the Quarter-Finals, defeating Italy not once but twice and securing the upset win. The United States would not match their CONCACAF buddies' result, and fell to France despite an encouraging 1-1 draw in Lyon.
    As for the European confrontations, they were fairly straightforward. Germany crushed Argentina despite a draw at home, winning 4-0 in Rosario, while England defeated Poland thanks to a 2-0 win at the Emirates. The only real close confrontation was that of Belgium and the Netherlands, who went all the way to penalties to decide who would make it to the Quarter-Finals, with the Oranje inching past the Red Devils at home.

    Two confrontations would see teams conquer their demons and finally beat their dreaded adversaries. Chile, despite losing in Belo Horizonte, managed to come back and win 4-1 to get their first ever shot at a final. England also beat rivals Germany, despite a draw at home, managing to just barely make it through as they defeated the Mannschaft 2-0. No luck for the rest of the American teams though. France crushed Costa Rica twice, while Uruguay and the Netherlands, after a hell of a first game, drawing 4-4, saw the second game be won handily by the Dutch.

    Also, how do you construct the matches in this TL?
    Click to expand...
    Probabilities based on recent results, star player form and home advantage. This gives me a number for each team between 1 and 200, from which Win/Draw/Loss are drawn (then a second round for extra time, and coin flip for penalties, BO5). RNG draws the numbers.

    Unfortunately for England, their luck would finally run out in the Semi-Finals. After a draw, Chile would shock the Three Lions by defeating them 1-0 thanks to a free kick from Arturo Vidal. As for their opponents in the final, they would be France, as they defeated the Dutch twice to secure their spot in Libreville.
