I just looked it up,

http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tou...wc_south_africa_2010_regulations_en_14123.pdf

pg 41
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:
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 FIFA Organising Committee.




That means in the world cup they will just pick it out of a hat?

.Penalties *****. In the Libertadores you get a whole new match if this happens, weak sauce as far as the WC goes.

Damn I never knew this rule either...lets hope Turkey finishes them off in under 90.

 

[krisp kicks]

NVM...the reporter who said that actually stated it was a rule they were considering

False alarm.

It will go 120 minutes before a shoot-out in case of a draw, so we can still have goals in extra time

I'm pissed that I don't have ESPN Classic in this blasted apartment...

But I guess the ESPN2 match should be a lot more exciting to watch, anyway.

your not the only one....since wen did classic go premium anyway ?!??!!??!

 

[pusha x vinsanity]

Naw, no Deportes either. I guess that's what you get when cable is included in the rent, though.

However, I do have ESPNU and ESPNEWS.... Go figure...

 

[xblaze23]

youre not missing much from the Portugal match.. I just check on it for Quaresma, Veloso and of course, Pepe. Nani also started.

Czech/Turkey is the match to watch

Thats ridiculous...

So if this scenario happened...

Brazil 9 pts
Turkey 4 pts 4 goals for 4 goals against

Czech 4 pts 4 goals for 4 goals against

North Korea 0 pts

FIFA would just draw lots?

 

[xblaze23]

stop with the random whistles.. lol

 

[smokey1212]

^^

Ridiculous.

Yo if anyone scores over in the Portugal game, someone Hollar so I can flip. Otherwise imma stay tuned to Turkey v. CR. Hopefully, Healy will say something.

 

[xblaze23]

LOL that was a pathetic reason to stay down.. Andy Gray slaying that dude.

 

[smokey1212]

Koller. Flashes from the US vs. CR

 

[xblaze23]

one of ESPN's favorite players to cover : Koller! makes it 1-0

 

[krisp kicks]

Turkey is going ALL OUT

But Cech is a beast in goal...

edit: And there goes goal #2...pretty nice actually, looks like the Czech's are going through.

 

[xblaze23]

There it is.. lol 2-0

 

[smokey1212]

Holy !*%!. Dude almost got his head Cleated off of his shoulders!!

eek

 

[xblaze23]

Emre Asik is wreckless.. lol

 

[xblaze23]

Turkey, 2-1! here we go

 

[cjmoney]

How bad is this Kazim Kazim guy? Terrible passes, easy missed opportunity, etc.

 

[smokey1212]

Damn, Turkey is wrecking the Left side of that Czech Defense.

 

[xblaze23]

Hakin Yakin converts the PK making it 2-0 Switzerland lol

 

[xblaze23]

and that is why Cech stays at #3 in terms of goal keeping.. what a shock
