Just their luck as usual.

Always luck = ability. Don't worry, the way Germany is playing, you will be rid of them after at most 2 more games.

I am very disappointed in you! I thought we were friends by now. I always supported you in this thread and now this, thanks for nothing!

LOL I support GER since the begining , but they played like amateurs  and  missed much goals 

no one assured the 2 nd round in this group , the next match vs Korea should be easy :fingers:

i predicted 2-0 

anyway SWE will beat MEX , nothing is clear for now 

Just imagine Sweden beating Mexico 1:0, then it would be (if Germany wins against South Korea):

Sweden 6 points, 2:2 goals (against Mexico and Germany)

Germany 6 points, 2:2 goals (against Mexico and Sweden

Mexico 6 points, 1:1 goals against (Mexico and Germany)

 

I think if there is a tie concerning points, then the team with the best goal difference out of all games will advance, so if Germany beats South Korea by 2 or more goals, then either Sweden or Mexico will be out. Mexico will try to avoid Brazil any way, so i don't see any chance that they will not at least get a draw. In my opinion Sweden is out if Germany wins against South Korea.

Swedish win vs Mexico= playoffs no matter what.

 

btw do you think 5 minutes extra time was correct??

Just imagine both Sweden and Germany winning their last game 2:1, then it would be:

Mexico 6 points, goal difference of 4:3

Sweden 6 points, goal difference of 4:3

Germany 6 points, goal difference 4:3

 

3-way-tie:

Sweden 3 points, 3:3 goals

Germany 3 points, 2:2 goals

Mexico 3 points, 2:2 goals

 

Then Sweden would be first and the 2nd place would be determined by drawing of lots. :yikes:

 

I think the extra time wasn't correct, it should have been more than 5 minutes, as Sweden started with their time wasting even in the first half.

No second place would be determined by fair play points (for example number of yellow cards).

No :d Mexico will advance by virtue of beating Germany in head to head match

 

Edit. I might be wrong here. that's the way in sports like basketball. not sure if that applies for FIFA rules or not.

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
