I'm pretty sure it's head-to-head results that are looked at first when two or more teams have an equal number of points?...

Yeah, I'm 90% sure it's head-to-head first. That's why we have the edge as long as we beat them. Also, after Belgiums last performance, I really hope that Spain loses to them when they travel to Belgium!

I have a strong feeling that Spain will somehow walk out with a win in Belgium. 2-0, a clear victory and everybody will just be like: "Oh... i guess Spain won!"

Serbia COULD struggle against Lithuania but they might also win.

Now if you guys are SURE that it's head-to-head, then we can have the advantage if we BEAT Serbia. i don't know if that's how it is though. I'll check some of the other groups on FIFAWORLDCUP.com to see if anybody is tied and then see how the divided their ranks within the group.

In Group 5:

2. Norway 8 3 3 2 10 7 12
3. Slovenia 8 3 3 2 10 9 12

Norway DOES have a better goal-difference, but DID also beat Slovenia BOTH times.


In Group 4:

1. Swiss 8 4 4 0 17 6 16
2. France 8 4 4 0 9 1 16

Swiss DO have a better goal-difference, but DID also TIE away to France. Their second leg is still to come.


Same as in Group 3, Russia and Slovakia have the same situation as France and Switzerland.


So yeah, that's all the groups with tied teams. No answer.... somebody mind finding out??

found this on another site, it's an official FIFA Document. I don't have a specific site or source.

so, yes, I was wrong. Bosnia would get that playoff spot if my scenario was true.

I don`t know man..yeah the win vs Lithuania was nice but still plenty of things that can go awry.

Even if we don`t quality we were good.. The only team we lost to was at Belgium..everything else was a draw or a win.. good enough for me..

We definetly shouldn't be counting on a playoff spot just yet. I mean this will be very VERY tough. First, we have to beat San Marino, it's possible seeing as they have only 0 points but we should be careful. Then, we play Serbia at Beograd and that's gonna be the toughest match yet. All we can pray and hope for is a healthy Braco and that everyone else stays healthy. I'm also very satisfied of what we have accomplished so far, but a spot in Germany would be the best thing that has ever happend to me.
