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. |
I think the most likely scenario is Mexico and Germany getting in, with a tie in MEX-SWE and obviously a win for Germany. Hilariously enough, South Korea still chances to advance, as they can defeat the Germans 3-0 and depending on the result of the other match they could get in. Sounds next to impossible, and it is, but it could influence the score of their match against Germany, as South Korea could fight to maintain it as low as possible.
My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
