The World Cup Thread

points
goal difference
goals scored
the above in the game between the teams that are level (basically who won)
then apparantly its drawing lots which would be farcical

this thread has taken the lead on anti-soccer thread. Like the game itself, the threads will end up tied.

Well, if I didn't already know I was an idiot, that might make me question it!

What is the furthest any team has advanced after getting a tie every game? That would be pretty awesome if the US went a few rounds by not getting a single win or loss.

How lame is Greece, they need to win to advance and they're just defending with 11 players all game

right now South Korea is trough being up 2-1 and still Greece is just defending

 

[Ren]

2-2 in the Nigeria Korea game now, i really hope Greece don't luck into a final 16 spot playing for a 0-0 draw

nigeria all of sudden a goal away from qualification. martins just tried to be too clever there.

Mexico losses, goes 1-1-1 and advances. Soccer is so stupid.

why is that more stupid than an 8-8 team going to the play-offs?

It's not and for their reward of going 1-1-1 Mexico who was playing quite well early now gets to face Argentina >.<


I'd rather face Germany than Argentina, lol.

Take it easy bro I`m from Mexico.
Although against Argentina it will be almost imposible, but hey that`s why they play the games.
And just to make it clear I am pulling for the US team.

Group C: Slovenia need a draw against England to qualify, although if they lose, they will still go through as long as the United States and Algeria tie. England have to win to guarantee their progress. If England and the US draw their respective games, goal difference will come into play and if both sides are totally even then lots will be drawn to decide who goes through. Algeria will go through if they beat the US by two clear goals.

Here's the way I understand Group C.

If Slovenia beat England, they're in.
If Slovenia tie England, they're in.
If Slovenia lose to England, England are in.
If US beat Algeria, they're in.
If US tie Algeria, they need Slovenia to beat England, then will be in.
If both games are a draw, Slovenia are in. US will be in unless England scores 2 goals more than US in their draw (i.e. England Slovenia = 3-3 and US-Algeria = 1-1), in which case they would draw lots. If England score 3 goals more than US does, then England are in.

Mexico deserve to face Argentina. That is what they get for playing so sloppy on Defense and not playing their best players from the start. Blanco and Franco? LOL




I still say Spain even though they lost one game are the best team in the WC. And look out for the US.
