This Sweden L is an example of why that score one and defend against good teams shit doesn't work. I hope osorio was watching, we just ended up on the right side of that coin flip....it may go bad next time
They explain it here. http://www.espn.com/soccer/fifa-wor...mutations-who-can-qualify-for-the-round-of-16
These are the only scores that will benefit us if we lose and Germany wins because we would have the same number of goals scored and GD but we won head to head. Germany wins 1-0 Mexico loses 0-1 2-1 1-2 3-2 2-3 etc. edit. I think these scores might actually create a 3-way tie because we would all have same goal difference and same number of goals scored, and have advantage over each other in head-to-head, in which Fair Play would go in to account.
Basically, you have to hope that S. Korea pulls off the unthinkable. If Mexico learns how to shoot, they can easily put away 4 goals against Sweden.
If we lose to Sweden, we kind of deserve to be out, TBH.. It ain’t gonna get much easier. Survival of the fittest.. let the games begin
I wonder if Ochoa slayed that Russian hottie that was in love with him over instagram. I wonder if she attended any Mexico games
Agree with the shooting part. Germany game gave me hope though because they were bombing Germany from the outside for the most part.

I wonder how many of those bombazos we’ve sent flying over the goal these past 2 games would’ve been made had Marco fabian been playing.. he’s probably our best long distance shooter If Layun and Marco Fabian had a futbol baby, that kid would be a beast..
Sweden wins the group, Mexico would be 2nd.. on Head to head vs Germany.. "- If both Germany and Sweden win 2-1 then Sweden would win the group on head to head goals scored. Mexico would be in second ahead of Germany in third on direct head to head" from
Yeah, after thinking about it, it might not be that bad. Sweden won't be able to bunker because they'll need a result. Mexico can keep perfecting that counter and and then sit back and let their toothless attack come. Now if Sweden scores first though... get your rosaries out, because Mexico has always had trouble with the bunker.
Ya'll need to put ur calculators away. We don't deserve to go through if we lose to minnows like sweden. We gotta go for all 9 and keep the momentum rolling into the knockout stages.
There's no mention of head to head on the FIFA page. https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/tie-breakers-for-russia-2018-groups
