frick injury time

Sigh

[Poseidon]

Yep,and then dagger to the heart. I was once told the closer the country is to the equator in Latin america the more they dive. It's been observably hard to disprove.

Neymar was fouled as much as he dove and Costa Rica’s unsportsmanlike faking of injuries late in the second half cured me of any sympathy for them.

That Group will have a very interesting final day. What wins the tiebreaker in a group? GD or head-to-head?

[windywave]

CHF CHF CHF.... great game

[Wandering Quaker]

You don't.

GD, then goals scored, then like a coin flip, or bikini contest or something

Found it.

1. Goal differential
2. Goals scored
3. Head-to-head result

In the case of a three-team tie where all three teams are level on goal differential and goals scored …

4. Goal differential in games among tied teams
5. Goals scored in games among tied teams

If teams are still tied …

6. Fair play – also known as fewest yellow cards (unless one of the tied teams has picked up a red card, in which case FIFA’s discipline scoring system comes into play. Card counts can be found here).
7. Drawing of lots

[Johnny4]

So running up the score on a weak opponent is more important that actually winning head-to-head.

Or vice versa... getting your butt kicked one game outweighs the fact your won your other games. Could happen to Mexico in a few minutes! :-o
