The FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Rio de Janeiro 2006 is down to the last four with only one suprise – Uruguay – knocking Argentina out at the quarter-final stage. The Solomon Islands Bilikiki Boys knocked out at the first round will take some consolation in Uruguay and Portugal’s presence in the final four teams.

World heavyweights Brazil and France make up the semi-final quartet. France will face Uruguay in the first semi-final clash with the exciting prospect of Brazil meeting Portugal in the second semi-final.
