Better idea for tie breaker:

2 players have to have a glancing collision with each other. The first one to manage to get back onto his feet under his own power wins

That's actually the very last tiebreaker

I don't think it's for you, and that's ok

It's an interesting enough sport for me to watch championship/playoff level games but not follow week to week.

Crazy it almost ended on cumulative yellows. Fair play as third tiebreaker is pretty crazy.

It's technically like the 5th or 6th but the teams, until the late Saudi goal, had the exact same results in the group.

Ahh okay I googled it and found the others. Okay

In all reality though, it's surprising it doesn't come up more often in 4 team groups.

I legit did not realize how far north Edmonton was relative to the rest of the country (especially Toronto). Disregard my earlier post.

it's wild! it was actually really fun to watch. mexico had no chance, which was a major factor in canada being the 1 seed from concacaf.
obviously didn't help them at the WC tho

Honduras, and it was stupid as crap, not an advantage for anyone. We didn't need to play rough ridin' Honduras in St. Paul.

I would be interested to see a chart as to which teams were going through at different points in these games.  Absolutely insane.

For about 3 minutes in the 2nd half, Spain and Germany were both going home.
