Interestin fact Czech Republic-Turkey game

[b_tonymontana]

I just noticed something which will be very interesting to see.
Both teams have 3 points and both team scored 2 goals and 3 goals against which means both teams are -1 before the match.

Turkey-Switszerland: 2-1
Turkey-Portugal : 0-2

Czech-Switzerland : 1-0
Czech-Portugal: 1-3

Therefore, if they tie the game regardless of the score it will go to coin toss. I cheked the official Fifa rules.
The ranking of each team in each group will be determined as
follows:
a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
b) goal difference in all group matches;
c) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.
If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria,
their rankings will be determined as follows:
XVIII. TECHNICAL RULES FOR THE FINAL COMPETITION
41
d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between
the teams concerned;
e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the
teams concerned;
f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the
teams concerned;
g) drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World

what do you guys think of this stupid rule? would it be better to have a shootout instead of this coin toss??

wow, nice observation. coin toss does suck, kinda reminds me of the coin toss thing they do in the NFL for draft picks sometimes

[Sam van Dam]

thats gay

they should give em the golden goal format

so if the game is tied after 90, the fate of a nation rest on a stupid ass coin toss? lame.....

I can tell you that is has been offically confirmed that if that game ends in a draw, they will decide who goes through with a penalty shoot-out. So no extra time and no coin tose..
Comfirmed in some dutch program..,

In such a scenario each team picks one player to play the other in a game of Winning 11 to determine who goes through.

hahaha well i certainly dont doubt the amount of pride and passion one puts in to a game of winning eleven

fox soccer report said that if it's a draw that it will go to penalties

[KC McElroy]

Maybe instead they can have a competition of which team can hike their shorts up higher and sing at the top of their lungs "Who wears short shorts? We wear short shorts!" to determine the winner.
