It might go to "Fair Play" rules or something....amount of yellow cards handed out to a team?
Idk, as it stands right now I think it is Colombia at 6 points, Japan and Senegal at 4 each, with 0 goal dif, and 4 goals scored. It'll be interesting to see if anything changes in the last 5+ minutes of these two, or if not, what till happen.
Oh right, yeah it could get weird. A quick google search it looks like they start again with points, then goal dif and then goals scored but only for matches involving any of the teams that could advance. So any match against Poland wouldn't count towards anything.
1. Points
2. Goal Differential
3. Goals Scored
4. Head to head points (or between concerned sides if more than 2)
5. Head to head goal diff (or between concerned sides if more than 2)
6. Head to head goals scored (or between concerned sides if more than 2)
7. Fair play points
8. Draw lots

Thanks. I was going to look this up since all of the tie-breakers I knew of were dead even.
Is it bad that I would have liked to have seen it come down to drawing lots?
Or maybe pistols at 10 paces?
I was cheering for Senegal because they had a guy named Niang. I think Senegal is the origin of the last name Niang in fact.
The only things better than the shootout itself were the hairstyles and television graphics.
If I remember correctly that is the origin of Georges' father.

So all we're really waiting on now is to see if England or Belgium will play Columbia, right? Loser plays Columbia, winners gets Japan.
Did they actually take "penalties" like that (for a foul in the box) or just for the end of game tiebreakers?
As the post said it was for shootouts. The MLS didn't think Americans could handle games ending in a draw so every draw was decided with a shootout like this.
That's what I thought, but the caption on the video said "Penalties," so I just wanted to double check.
Yea, that was wild. But looks far too dangerous to put a keeper through that five times.
Even the ball bouncing wildly around the field is amazing. It almost makes me think I could have played pro soccer in the 90’s.
