What happens if Sweden defeats Mexico and Germany defeats S Korea? 3 way tie on points with head to head wins on Mexico over Germany, Germany over Sweden, and Sweden over Mexico?
If im not mistaken, as it is right now, if swe wins over mexico, we advance. If by 1-0, swe mexico have the same points, the same goal ratio,and same amount of made goals. Would be same if swe won at 2-1. So any 1up win for swe it'll be like that? Then its mutual meetings, and swe has just won over mexico. So we will beat mexico then if we win in any case? Winning by 1 goal (or by more, naturally) should be enough. Both at 6p.
Then I am not sure about ger. Say they win by 1-0 over korea. Then they also have 3 made 2 back. If swe at the same time beat mexico by 1-0, does that mean swe and mexico advance? Because of mexicos defeat of ger... but if germany make many goals they have better goal ratio then mexico, ger and swe should advance?
Fuck idk. This group is wide open lol. I reckon even ķorea has a 1:9999+ shot at advancing, should some magic events happen.
Swedish news reports that swe win in any case we advance as 1st or 2nd. Idk exactly why tbh but guessing it must be true.
I like how almost no one can say for sure how the fifa knock out rules are written
