Confusion about World Cup....

(1/3) > >>

Big BpG:
i was reading an article that said if Mexico loses to Italy, they're out of the world cup... they  need to either tie or beat italy... however this seems dumb to me... i guess i dont understand it...

lets say mexico loses...  the records will be

Mexico 2-1
Italy 2-1
Croatia 2-1 (if they beat ecuador)
Ecudaor 0-3

now to my knowlede with sports... Mexico and Croatia should be the ones to advance since Mexico beat Croatia and Croatia beat Italy.... and have the tie-breaker over them... but then i see that the world cup is run off by a point system... can someone explain that to me, cause i dont understand..... and i really dont understand how if mexico loses they are out of the world cup...

Doggystylin:
yeah all this qualifying shit confuses me too

Javier:
Mexico 6 Points- 3:1 , +2
Italy 3 Points- 3:2, +1
Croatia 3 Points- 2:2 +0
Ecuador 0 Points- 1:4, -3

Possible results.....

Italy has to go for the win against Mexico, so they can add up 6 points.  

If italy ties with Mexico and Croatia beats Ecuador, Italy is out and Mexico gets first in the group.

If Italy beats Mexico 1-0, and Croatia beats Ecuador 1-0, Mexico and Italy go in with Italy as the leader.

Man this is too crazy. The first time Mexico gets back to back wins in the World Cup and they might not even qualifiy.


hopefully this will clear things up

Jay ay Beee:
3 Points for a Win

1 Point for a draw

0 Points for a loss

Mexico - 6 Points
Croatia - 3 Points
Italy - 3 Points
Ecuador 0 Points

If Croatia beat Ecuador and ITaly beat Mexico, Mexico, Italy and Croatia will all be on 6 points.

To see who ges through, it will come down to who has the best goal difference

Mexico have scored 3 Goals and conceded 1 - this means their current goal difference is +2

Croatia have scored 2 and conceded 2 - their current goal diff is 0

Italy have scored 3 and conceded 2 - their goal diff is +1

Whoever has the best goal difference goes through

Understand now?

Dope Money Clean:
That   goal     differential  shit  is     GIZZAY !!!  

A  win  is a  win.         Mexico  already beat  Croatia  ,    but apparently that doesnt  really count for much   since  Croatia can still    make the  round of 16  over them.       STUPID !!!    >:(
