Default Group Tiebreakers

Since I know that at least one poster is destined to ask, here are the official Olympic tiebreakers courtesy of the FIFA Website:

Regulations of the Olympic Football Tournaments

http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tour...fen%5f6198.pdf

Group tiebreakers, which are on pg. 31 of the rules, are:

1. total points
2. goal difference
3. goals scored

if two or more teams are still deadlocked

4. most points from matches involving the tied teams
5. greatest goal difference from matches involving the tied teams
6. most goals scored in matches involving the tied teams
7. fair play system (least yellow and red cards)
8. drawings
