Well, it’s going to be Brazil x Germany again on the next stage...

Tbh I would love to see this rematch with a motivated Brazilian team that wants to take revenge.

This is literally the only match I didn’t want, not because of what happened, but due to our team’s mental instability. We won against Germany in March, but the context during the World Cup would be totally different. So I fear they might lose control.

Not going to watch this match. :(

What a game! I almost dieded!

Sweden was strong but Germany won deserved.

Damn! I was really hoping Sweden would hang in there and get the tie. That would have really put Germany at their mercy next week. But, oh well, at least Mexico is in!!

¡¡VIVA MEXICO!!

Hey, it may not happen yet. South Korea could still knock Germany out

You’re not giving me much hope. xD Sweden would have to defeat Mexico and Germany draw with South Korea. Almost impossible.

Not just yet. If Germany beat South Korea and Sweden beat Mexico then the 3 of them will be level on 6pts and it will go to goal difference so Mexico could still go out with a loss to Sweden.

Mexico can't afford a loss, unless it's by only one goal and 2-3, 3-4 etc.

I dont think they can afford a loss at all really. If they lose against Sweden by any means they are behind them in the standings. And I think it's highly likely Germany will win against South Korea with at least two goals.. but if they arent.. then it gets messy.

Aw crap.
I highly doubt that Getmany loses or even ties against South Korea. In fact, I’m expecting a bloodbath. So, Mexico can only tely on themselves. On the bright aide, they don’t need to win, they just need to tie. But Sweden is not going to make it easy by any means. They’re going to be the aggressors since it’s an absolute must win game for them; Lose or draw is not an option.

In a three-way-tie, only the games between the tied teams count, so the results against South Korea are irrelevant. Let's suppose Sweden beats Mexico 1-0 and Germany beats South Korea, then the first tie-breaker will look like this:

T1. Germany - 3 points, 2-2 goals
T1. Sweden - 3, 2-2
3. Mexico - 3, 1-1

Germany wins the next tie-breaker because they beat Sweden; Mexico is eliminated. Now if Sweden won 2-1 against Mexico, it would look like this:

1. Sweden - 3 points, 3-3 goals
T2. Germany - 3, 2-2
T2. Mexico - 3, 2-2

Mexico would win the following tie-breaker in this scenario, so on second thought even a 1-2 loss would actually be fine for them. A Swedish win of 3-2, 4-3 etc. would put Sweden in first and Mexico in second on the first step of the tie-breaking procedure already. A Swedish win by two or more goals would put Sweden in first and Germany in second.

At least that's how it should work, unless FIFA uses a different system than UEFA in their tournaments. So no matter what, it's of no concern how high Germany wins against South Korea. And no matter what, Sweden will qualify for the round of 16 with a win on their own.

How high Germany wins against South Korea does matter, since total goals scored in all group matches it's one of the tie-breaking criteria, before checking whether Germany or Mexico won on their match, in the case they are tied.

Thus:

Ger 1 x 0 Kor / Swe 2 x 1 Mex: then Sweden is 1st, Mexico 2nd

But...

Ger 2 x 0 Kor or Ger 2 x 1 Kor / Swe 2 x 1 Mex: then Germany is 1st, Mexico 2nd

And as long as Germany scores more goals than Mexico on a victory over Korea with a margin of a single goal, it advances with any Sweden win by the same one goal margin.

But if Germany wins by two goals difference, then it is qualified no matter the result of Sweden x Mexico, since any result on this match, be it by a small or large margin, would disqualify either Sweden or Mexico while keeping Germany, for goal difference is the foremost criterium besides points.

This is confusing as hell... but I think this is correct.
