bow out in the quarter finals
Hay un error en el original, ya que Argentina pierde en los cuartos (4-0 con Alemania) no en los octavos de final

Thanks, rich. Actually I just gave another option, but both Edward and Dariusz spotted the mistake. Not that I would have missed it... being sports crazy and Argentine, can't help but remember Germany ousted us in the quarters twice in a row

Argentina then advanced to the round of 16 and played Mexico. The game started with controversy when Carlos Tévez headed a ball from Lionel Messi for a goal; replay clearly showed that Tévez was in an offside position. Eventually, Argentina beat Mexico 3–1 to advance to the quarter-finals. In a much-hyped game, Argentina was shocked after Germany thrashed them with a 4–0 win. Thomas Müller opened the scoring in the third minute, Miroslav Klose earned a brace, and Arne Friedrich netted a goal as well. Their 4–0 loss to Germany marked the end of Argentina in the World Cup.

No, I mean "knocked OFF". ;-) Although your suggestions, obviously, are lexicogrammatically more "kosher", mine are commonly used in colloquial US English.

And it's necessary to remember that a group of individuals (a football team) is colloquially referred to in the third person plural, rather than the singular, i.e. "argentina were knocked out" (see above).

octavos de final
Octavos de final is not the quarter-final round (8 competitors) but the round before (16 competitors).
The quarter-final round is called cuartos de final in Spanish.
In English, the round in which only eight competitors remain is generally called the quarter-final round; this is followed by the semi-final round in which only four are left, the two winners of which then meet in the final or championship round. The round before the quarter finals is sometimes called the "Round of Sixteen", "Last Sixteen", or (in South Asia) "pre-quarter finals"; in some other languages "eighth-finals".

: Beatriz: hay un error en el original. Por supuesto cuando octavos de final se refiere a la ronda en la que quedan 16 equipos o jugadores en el caso de torneos individuales, pero habla de los cuartos de final del Mundial de Sudáfrica
