Actually any win for Sweden will do. Even a 1-0 win would take them onto level points, goal difference and goals scored with Mexico. So then it would go to H2H.

Elsewhere - looks like Sterling has kept his place, RLC for Alli is the only change. Which means FuckingYoung is playing again.

Germany 1 South Korea 0 Puts Germany on 6 points with a +1 GD and 3 goals scored
Sweden 1 Mexico 0 Puts Mexico on 6 points with a +1 GD and 3 goals scored, and Sweden onto 6 points with a +1 GD and 3 goals scored

H2H completely reciprocal. That's coin toss time, or drawing of lots as it is three teams.

So if Germany win, they are through, unless they only win by 1 goal and Sweden exactly match their result or match the goal difference outcome but in a higher scoring game.

Germany 1 South Korea 0
Sweden 2 Mexico 1

Would see Sweden win the group with Mexico second.

Germany win by more than one goal and they are guaranteed qualification.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Goes to fair play points in that situation before drawing of lots.

Probably bad news for Germany with Boateng's red card.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Reading up, I think if we end up looking at H2H between three teams, they discount the bottom team and form a mini-league purely of the games between those in the fight for qualification. So double 1-0s would leave it:

Germany P2 W1 D0 L1 F2 A2
Sweden P2 W1 D0 L1 F2 A2
Mexico P2 W1 D0 L1 F1 A1

So Mexico would go out on goals scored, and I guess Germany finish above Sweden on H2H.

Can Germany please not win 1-0, ta.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The nightmare for Germany would be

Germany 2 South Korea 1
Sweden 3 Mexico 2

Would've liked to have seen Rose come in too.

TAA and Vardy off the bench please if we find ourselves in the position to be winning.

Ashley Young FFS.

You said he was "not that bad" for months. This is partly on your shoulders.

Only because I had him in PTG. That’s serious stuff. You have to stick by your players. You and I both know he’s bloody awful!

Panama show admirable gusto with their anthem even though many of them can't carry a tune in a bucket. Definition of a flat back four lol

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

naughty naughty there...

 

[Jinky]

Fucking sloppy. Wake up.

 

[Jack Regan]

Decent half chance for the Panamanians, little bit of a warning.

 

[Jack Regan]

Ha ha! Too busy fouling Kane to pick up Stones.

 

[Jinky]

Have that up you, Panama cheating wankers.

 

[Nando]

Great header.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Nice start that.
