In the table below is the list of teams, ranked from highest (#1) to lowest (#32), which are due to play in the Football World Cup. This tournament has four knockout rounds before the final, i.e. first round, second round, quarterfinals, and semifinals. In the first round the highest ranked team plays the lowest ranked team (#32) which is designated as match no 1 of first round; the second ranked team plays the 31st ranked team which is designated as match no 2 of the first round, and so on. Thus, for instance, match number 16 is to be played between 16th ranked team and 17th ranked team. In the second round, winner of match 1 of first round plays the winner of match no 16 of first round and is designated match 1 of second round. Similarly, the winner of match no 2 of first round plays the winner of match no 15th of first round, and is designated as 2nd match of second round. Thus, for instance, match no 8 of the second round is to be played between the winner of match No.8 of first round and the winner of match No.9 of first round. The same pattern is followed for later rounds as well.
Q. If there are no surprise wins (a lower ranked team beating a higher ranked team) in the first round, and only match nos. 6, 7, 8 of the second round result in upsets, then who would meet Italy in quarter finals, in case Italy reaches quarter finals?
