Are you counting Robinho as a City player?

Tchau!

Oops! Yes, I did. I tried to take loans into
account (and got it right regarding Robinho
for the first round games) but overlooked him
this time.

So give Brazil its well-merited place and take
one away from England. Federations then
should look like this:

UEFA: 143 (81,3% / +0,9% compared to the 1st round of group matches)
AFC: 14 (8,0% / +0,3%)
CONCACAF: 12 (6,8% / +2,5%)
CONMEBOL: 7 (4,0% / +0,9%)
CAF: 0 (-2,6%)
OFC: 0 (-1,1%)
Unattached: 0 (-0,9%)

I can't guarantee that there are no other
mistakes though.

And here for the quarterfinals:

UEFA: 79 (89,8% / +8,0% compared to the round of 16)
CONMEBOL: 7 (8,0% / +4,6%)
CONCACAF: 2 (2,3% / -4,5%)
AFC: 0 (-8,0%)
CAF: 0
OFC: 0
Unattached: 0

For individual leagues, England has slipped from first
to third, behind Germany and Spain, and tied with
Italy.

Clubs with most players in starting XI in the quarterfinals:

Barcelona, Bayern München 7
Inter, Real Madrid 5
Liverpool 4
Ajax, Benfica 3


I'll stop now as the sample becomes too small.

BTW, don't you agree that the one could argue that the WC
quarterfinalists are the best 8 teams in the world (and the winner is
the best single team), while the same can't be said about the 4
semifinalists and the 2 finalists?
