Note to Giusi: two teams play in the Final; four in the Semi-Finals; eight in the Quarter-Finals. By the power of deduction, \'Eighth\'-Finals would be for the last 16 teams. Problem is that we don\'t say \'Eighth\'-Finals; round of 16 is THE term.

I'm also not saying "round of sixteen" is wrong and though I have never heard it before, it makes sense as well.
