The knockout stage was a single-elimination tournament involving the sixteen teams that qualified from the group stage of the tournament. There were four rounds of matches, with each round eliminating half of the teams entering that round. The successive rounds were: Round of 16, Quarter-finals, Semi-finals, Final. There was also a play-off to decide third/fourth place. For each game in the knockout stage, a draw was followed by thirty minutes of extra time (two fifteen minute halves); if scores were still level there would be a penalty shootout (at least five penalties each, and more if necessary) to determine who progressed to the next round. Scores after extra time are indicated by (AET), and penalty shoot outs are indicated by (PSO).

Trivia

The draw was parodied by an online advertisement for Carlsberg lager as part of their long-running If Carlsberg made .... it would probably be the best ... in the world series, in which Germany, traditional opponents (and the usual nemesis) of England in World Cup fixtures, find themselves drawn in the same group as Brazil, Argentina and France whereas England's group is comprised of Lapland, Outer Mongolia and Vatican City.
