Group G Advancement Scenarios

Well, that simplified matters.

Brazil 6 points +3 GD
Portugal 4 points +7 GD
Ivory Coast 1 point -2 GD
North Korea 0 points -8 GD

Portugal-Brazil
Ivory Coast-North Korea

Let's see if the Benevolent Leader shows THAT game on North Korean television. OUCH!!

Brazil in, North Korea out. Portugal essentially in. Brazil wins the group on a win or a draw.

Portugal must win to win the group, but can only be eliminated if the combined margin of the two games is about nine or ten goals, and Ivory Coast have to score at least six more than Portugal.

Sleep in on the 25th. You'll need it for the next day.
