If they were out of subs, one of the field players would need to play goalie. He certainly could get gloves from the sideline. I think he is also required to wear a different color jersey, but I'm not sure about that one. I'm sure they would have given him time to get gloves and whatnot before the PK.Tyson

Anyway. Cheering for Switzerland is sort of bizarre. It's very NCAA tournament, I guess.

The best is when the normal keeper is, like, 6'5, he gets sent off, and then his replacement is some short outfield player (who has to use the keeper's shirt). It looks like an eight year old is playing there.Anyway. Cheering for Switzerland is sort of bizarre. It's very NCAA tournament, I guess.

Did Uruguay really need to run up the score against the host team on a motherhumping national holiday? [/quote]
consider:
Mexico and france play next, if those two teams tie, Uruguay automatically moves on. But lets say France beats mexico by some marginal score like 1-0, and lets just assume that france at least ties south africa (guarunteeing that they make the next round). If Uruguay had not run up the score, Mexico would merely need to win the game to knock uruguay out of the tournament. As it stands, either mexico would need to beat uruguay by some decisive amoumt. or mexico would need to beat france, and tie with urugay, and france would have to beat south africa by some decisive amount...
(so running up the score basically guaruntees uruguay makes it to round 2. If they had won 1-0, depending on what happens to mexico/france, a 1-0 loss to mexico may put them out of the tournament.)
but yeah, um, go mexico.

Actually, I was somewhat impressed with his analysis. A bit circular and repetitive, but spot on, really.

A draw between Mexico and France does nothing to ensure Uruguay moves on; quite the opposite, actually.

(The best possible outcome for Uruguay is a French victory over Mexico, meaning that if Uruguay loses to Mexico in their final match, they'll likely advance over Mexico through goal differential. A Mexico-France tie creates the possibility, through a Uruguay loss to Mexico, that both France and Mexico hop over Uruguay and into the second round. I'm not sure why he doesn't get that.)

Oh. You are right. lol math skills
I had it figured out in my head the same way Happy did, so I was agreeing with him completely.
But, you are right. A draw between Mexico/France sets them both up with 2 pts, while Uruguay has 4. If Uruguay and South Africa then lost, France and Mexico would both have 5 points and Uruguay would have 4.
What really needs to happen for Uruguay to advance is for the France/Mexico game to end with a winner. Which will then set up Uruguay to, at a minimum, tie for the 2nd seed regardless, in which case goal margin could play a factor.
Tyles is so smart. He should be the one writing the commentary. And less adept with mathematics people should shut the ____ up.

So, if Greece wins this thing, how likely is it that they could advance on accident? (since I screwed up the last projection so badly)

Well, they've got Argentina left on the sked, so ... not likely.

If Greece wins here but loses to Argentina, and Nigeria beats South Korea, then it's clusterfucktime.
June 17, 2010 at 03:12PM View BBCode
If Nigeria don't get a point here, they're pretty much finished -- they'd need a win against South Korea and help from tiebreakers to advance. But with a tie, they could win against South Korea and advance outright (unless Greece somehow beat Argentina, which would again send it to tiebreakers).If Greece wins here but loses to Argentina, and Nigeria beats South Korea, then it's clusterfucktime.
Tyles
1) Greece loses to Argentina (by any margin)
2) Nigeria beats South Korea (by any margin)
That's really all they need. Greece, South Korea and Nigeria would each have 3 points, and Nigeria would advance on goal differential, with (at worst) -1 to South Korea and Greece's (at best) -2. Kind of crazy that a team can go into the final round of group play without a point and still advance to the knockout stage.
The other, potentially more convoluted tiebreak scenario involves Greece beating Argentina and South Korea beating Nigeria, giving three teams 6 points each.
