I legit thought Australia would win. It wasn't like Greece was playing spectacularly or anything.

They were in the first half. Calathes not giving GA the ball on the roll in quarter 3 on screen after screen was such a garbage momentum killer.

The standings just shown on tv have Greece ahead of Australia, despite worse point differential. Does H2H get prioritised over +/-?

Wouldn't Aus be 2? -4 diff. If Canada beats Spain Australia advance?

Agree with UCan about implications now. Not sure what happens...

Nahhhh, Australia was never gonna medal. Canada, Germany, Serbia and USA are the top dogs of the tournament.

Spain will be first beating Canada but it will be eliminated if loses, next game it's gonna be a bloodbath.

In the event of a tie in the standings between two teams in the same group, head-to-head results will be used as the tiebreaker. In the event of a tie between three or more teams, there is a list of further criteria that will be used to break the tie, starting with the highest point differential in games between the tied teams.

so if Spain loses it will be a 3 way tie between Aus/Greece/Spain

would be ordered

1. Aus
2. Greece
3. Spain

based on point difference

actually if Spain loses by 2 or less, they will be ahead of Greece

Aus commentators said Aus have to sweat it out now. So I assume everyone's using the official olympics standings and it's wrong.

Don't know, I guess so? But it doesn't matter, cause both teams need Canada to win, and if Canada wins its rock paper scissors between Spain, AUS and GRE with all 3 being 1-2. So +/- will be the final factors either way.

man, it really felt that Greece had 7.5 players and half of them are in that hair loss age
proud of them for fighting till the end

FollowTheSound · Post #913 » by **FollowTheSound** » Fri Aug 2, 2024 1:32 pm

They're saying Greece moves on if Canada wins.

MartyConlonJr · Post #914 » by **MartyConlonJr** » Fri Aug 2, 2024 1:32 pm

Greece lost by 7, lost by 7, won by 6, so are -8
Australia won by 12, lost by 10, lost by 6, so are -4
Spain lost by 12, won by 7, plays Canada in 1 hour and 45 mins-ish from now. So does that mean Spain just has to lose for Australia to get through? Is it just differential based?

Maybe if some other result falls their way?

Australia had to be within 9 (I think) to be ahead of Greece

FollowTheSound · Post #916 » by **FollowTheSound** » Fri Aug 2, 2024 1:33 pm

I think maybe both Greece and Australia can move on because 2 3rd place teams will move on afterwards...

FollowTheSound · Post #917 » by **FollowTheSound** » Fri Aug 2, 2024 1:34 pm

Ok yeah so Canada needs to beat Spain by +3 and Serbia needs to beat South Sudan by +3

FollowTheSound · Post #918 » by **FollowTheSound** » Fri Aug 2, 2024 1:34 pm

for Greece to move on

Oh boy, single elimination started early.

The Moose · Post #920 » by **The Moose** » Fri Aug 2, 2024 1:35 pm

so simplified

Path to 2nd place in the pool:

Aus: Canada beats Spain

Spain: beat Canada

Greece: no path to 2nd place
