Playing for a draw is too risky. Venezuela will most likely play the defensive knowing they only need a draw. I rather win to be honest.
Look, at the very end of the game if we were ahead 1-0 or 2-1, Venezuela scoring wouldn't change anything for us; we'd still win the group. We win the group with a victory *or* any tie by a score higher than 0-0. So, it would be *extremely* sweet to let them score and send Colombia packing! I'd be very, very tempted, if I were Dunga. I wouldn't play for a draw the entire match, I'd try to win - but if the game just happened to be about to end with us ahead by one goal, then I'd allow them to tie.
I'm not complaining if we draw. I'm definitely not mad if Colombia go out. If it's 0-0 in the 90th don't push it.
0-0 wouldn't automatically eliminate Colombia. They could still advance on a coin flip with Venezuela. 1-1 would. I'm officially rooting for 1-1 or 2-2 or 3-3.
There is nobody that would be happier than to see Columbia fuked, but we need to always play for the win. Excuse me our anthem is on.
So what's the hierarchy of tie-breakers? Goal differential first, then goals scored, then head-to-head? If yes, then yes, any tie would send Colombia packing. ------- Yep, the commentators have just confirmed it. 0-0 eliminates Colombia. Any tie.
I think Brazil will try to win anyway, for momentum and pride, and to prove that we can win without Neymar. But it's too bad if it happens because it would gift to Colombia its progression in the tournament.
