FIFA World Cup 2010...

1-1 what a crazy World Cup so far :crazy: well done New Zealand anyway :up:

I have a feeling that besides France one more European giant is going to fall after the group stage...

If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, tiebreakers are used as follows:
-greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
-goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
-greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;
-drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee. (i.e., determining team positions at random).

Welcome to the world of the most dictatorial sport, where the dictator's mistakes are considered part of the 'game' (according to the fifa president).

I won't even go into details about the other crap that happens in football.

Go Brazil!!!!!

I really want the Ivory Coast to win :p I don't like Brazil.

But I get a feeling the winners of this tournament is either going to be Brazil or Argentina. :(
