Title: Why is Angola in the World Cup and not Nigeria?
Post by: Javier on June 05, 2006, 03:36:53 PM
They both had the same amount of pts but the Goal Difference went like this...

Angola 21 Pts 12GF and 6GA
Nigeria 21 Pts 21GF and 7GA

Shouldn't they go with goal difference before Goals Against?

Tiebreakers

If teams are even on points at the end of group play, the tied teams will be ranked as follows:

1. greater number of points obtained in matches between the tied teams

lol i was pretty certain Canada wouldnt. we do have an exciting future though in soccer with more programs at the grassroots level and the possibility of an MLS team in Toronto. i think what Canada needs the most to push the game forward in our hockey drenched society is a Canadian soccer star.

France didn't qualify in 1994 and that worked out well for em in 1998

Yeah, plus the fact they don't have to qualify to the tournament they're hosting helps.
