2022 World Cup Discussion

[hammocity]

Just 25 days until proper football returns, hoping the World Cup comes alive after the tedious group games but at least the last round should have some jeopardy on them to make worth watching.

There is no head to head, it is GD, GF, Fair Play points then lots.

Head to head is a UEFA thing (since 1996 qualifiers), FIFA never use it.

I think that’s not right. I think it’s GD, then goals scored, then head to head, then ‘fair play’ (yellows and reds) and then drawing lots.

Head to head is not in the tie breaker rules. Corky was correct.

The sorting rules for the 2022 FIFA World Cup group stage are different to those used by UEFA in the Champions League and Europa League.

As always, teams will first be separated based on how many points they have.

But while the Champions League then uses head-to-head records to split teams that finish level on points, good old-fashioned goal difference is still king at the World Cup.

2022 World Cup Sorting Rules​

Head-to-head record is the third tie-breaking method at the World Cup, after goal difference and then goals scored.

Only results from this tournament are considered in terms of the head-to-head record, so this method cannot split two teams that played to a draw during the group stage.

If two or more teams are still level based on points, goal difference, goals scored and head-to-head results, then the fair play system will be used.

Fair Play System​

The team that received the fewest booking points will finish higher.

Corky and yourself are incorrect.

I got it from the FIFA World Cup Preliminary Regulations https://editorial.uefa.com/resource...minary_competition_regulations-covid19_1_.pdf

6.
In the league format, the ranking in each group is determined as follows:
a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
b) goal difference in all group matches;
c) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.
If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings shall be determined as follows:
d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;
g) the goals scored away from home count double between the teams concerned (if the tie is only between two teams);
h) fair play points system in which the number of yellow and red cards in all group matches is considered according to the following deductions:
– first yellow card:
– second yellow card/indirect red card: – direct red card:
– yellow card and direct red card:
minus1 point minus 3 points minus 4 points minus 5 points

If Walton was such a great ref., why did he make so many crap decisions, when officiating in our matches?
