> How is it possible that Both the Netherlands AND Argentina wins the quarter final more than 50% of the time. When reached.

If the Netherlands and Argentina have e.g. 50%/50% against each other but more than 50% chance against the other team (US/Australia) then you get more than 50% (conditional) chance to advance for both teams.

The 107% sum is odd, indeed.
