World Cup 2018

All 3 teams will have 6 points then.Goal difference comes before goals scored, head to head is 3rd

But if Sweden wins with 1 goal, their gd would be equal, amount of goals would be equal, so its down to h2h automatically in such a scenario.

They will make all three teams end up with 6 points right? Mexico has a goal differential of +2 right now, Sweden has 0 and Germany has 0. So if Mexico loses to Sweden by anything less than 2 goals, Mexico will go through, right?

No, because Mexico go +1 from +2 by conceding one, and Sweden go +1 from 0 by scoring 1.

But if Sweden wins with 1 goal, their gd would be equal, amount of goals would be equal, so its down to h2h automatically in such a scenario.

No h2h. Fair play rule if GD and goals scored equal.

Ahaha yes, you are right. Sorry.

Not exactly, a 1 goal win for Sweden means their GD is equal, a 1 goal victory for Germany over SK means they also equal their gd.

h2h, fair play comes if their match ended in a draw

Would be funny if Korea beats Germany by 2-1. Meaning Korea has 3 points with 3-3 GD. Germany has 3 points with 3-3 GD. Germany probably loses the Fair Play rule by having a red card conceded.

And if Mexico beat Sweden by 2-1, then Sweden, Germany, SK will all have 3 points with 3-3 GD. And each will have won and lost 1 game vs the other 2.

If Sweden wins 1-0, Mexico is out.

Points equal
Gd equa
Goals scored equal
Head to head mexico out

Wow, that is right, 1:0 win by Sweden will make their gd the same... amazing

 

[Morten]

Also, if Sweden beats Mexico with a goal, Germany needs to win against SK with 2 goals, because Mexico has better h2h against Germany, i think that how it will work?

South Korea will get smacked though. Germans have momentum now, get ready for the panzer barrage.

Anyway, what are Argentina's chances of advancing? Not only do they have to beat Nigeria by a big margin, they have to hope that Croatia does not lose to Iceland right? What are the scenarios?

1-0 is enough, as long as Iceland dont win against Croatia, they dont deserve to go through with that, but thats just how it is.

If both Argentina and Iceland win it goes to GD. Basically, Argentina need to beat Nigeria with 1 more goal than Iceland beat Croatia to advance. As they would be on equal GD with more goals scored.

Another triumph of the will for Germans.

Feel sorry for Sweden but it's their own fault, like Serbia yesterday.

World Cup is improving. Organisation is top notch and we might see some spectacular football and maybe more big surprises yet.

I see, so if Argentina does not grab this opportunity to go through then it is totally their own fault.
