Group B last games (Tues 2:30, ESPN/2)

[BB73]

For each group, the last two games are played simultaneously, so opponents can't conspire to a mutually beneficial result by knowing the outcome of the other game.

Two teams from each group advance. A team gets 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw. The first tiebreaker is goal-differential, the next is goals scored.

Team.........Pts..Goal-Diff..Goals-Scored
Argentina.....6......+4..........5
S. Korea......3......-1..........3
Greece........3......-1..........2
Nigeria.......0......-2..........1


Argentina plays Greece on ESPN and Nigeria plays S. Korea on ESPN2.

Argentina advances unless they to lose by 3 goals to Greece AND South Korea wins by enough to make up the rest of the goal differential.

South Korea probably advances with a win (they will unless Greece wins by a larger margin), and they advance with a draw unless Greece defeats Argentina or gets a high-scoring draw.

If Greece gets win by 3+ goals, they advance for sure. If they win by less than that, they advance unless South Korea also wins by the same margin. Greece can advance with a draw if Nigeria beats South Korea, or if South Korea also draws but Greece scores more goals today.

Nigeria, with zero points, actually advances with a win if Argentina beats Greece.
