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.
If England beats Algeria today
and the US wins over Algeria, then the US is either through, or drawing lots...
It would be England and Slovenia with 4 points, US with 2. A US win gets them to 5. Then:
If England wins... England 7, US 5, Slovenia 4
If Slovenia wins... Slovenia 7, US 5, England 4
If tie... US 5, England 5, Slovenia 5 (d, e and f are all ties)
Correct?
