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??
