I've always called "The last 16".
Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 (South Africa) Thread
I use the phrase "last 16" in tournaments with large numbers of competitors just to remind myself of who's where, such as tennis grand slams which have endless knockout rounds (OK, 4) before the quarter finals.
Yes, please go. Let Ghana progress.
(jk, good luck to both teams
)

Wow, this field is in a really bad condition.
Wha...? Even as a member of the Portuguese horde, I think you are incredibly optimistic in thinking Portugal has any change against Spain, especially with the tool Queiros at the helm...

I also find it a whole bunch of wishful thinking, but for different reasons.
I mean, Brazil beating Chile?! Don't make me laugh...

We shall, WE SHALL!We shall see wont we.
By the way, Uruguay advances. But the South Koreans put up a good fight during second half. Too bad they didn't score those two blatant in-your-face goal opportunities.
Spain are favorites, but Portugal is pretty solid at the back and can score goals. I wouldn't say they have no chance.Wha...?

Ooh, Bill Clinton in the audience.
Hehehe, a German scoring the first goal. 
This shit...again?
The Black Stars, who are putting their heart and souls into this match, deserve to be ahead. I said someone would call their (the US's) bluff one day and it looks like it may be Ghana. That better be one HELL of a locker room speech by Bradley.
If by some miracle the US manages another comeback, playing with this strategy will get us destroyed by Uruguay, whereas I can see Ghana holding out for a while (as they did against Germany). Thus it'd almost be better if Ghana won, as the ensuing game would probably be better.
But "it's not over until it's over" and "ye of little faith" and...all that.
