Así and a follow-up question on Quedar

Question

Sorry to bother you guys again.I have an example of how 'Quedar' was used in a sentence which I find hard to connect with it's few meanings(to be left , to remain, to be left over, to plan to meet and to suit ). Also, may I ask how 'Así' works. All i know is it means like this or like that.

Example:

ASÍ QUEDARÍAN DEFINIDOS LOS OCTAVOS DE FINAL DE LA EURO 2016.

Again, thanks!

Answer 1

You are correct on the meanings and in this case the closer concept is "to be left" because it means that from an X number of soccer teams, let's say 12, only 6 are left: De doce equipos Quedan 6.

Así means "like this" or "this way".

However due to the meaning of the sentence, Así Quedarían also means "to be set"

"This is how the finals from euro 2016 would be set"

Thanks for the help! - TheMap, Jun 16, 2016
