I don't follow soccer. What happens since there's a tie? Everyone is saying that this is the final score, but that would be utterly moronic to not have a tie breaker.

They were awesome. I believe Jurgen is changing US football to a next level, it will take some time but we can already see things getting better. It's not just about the final score, they are actually playing good from a tactical perspective.

Since it is still the group stage, both teams will get one point. Once the group stage is complete and if teams have equal points, the tie breaker will be the goal difference. In the event teams still share the same goal difference, I believe the next tie breaker is goals scored. In the knockout stages, if teams are tied, they go to extra time/over time. If they are still tied, then penalty shootouts.

If both teams got equal points and goal difference then the "tie breaker" is the result of the match between those teams If it was a "tie score" then there is a draw which decides who's in and who is out. That's what I've heard.

That's an interesting approach. Must be a terrible way to go out

It is. Very interesting if both teams are tied on all the criteria FIFA will draw lots as the last result tie breaker. Yes, you ready correctly - drawing lots.

Ooh I forgot about the US-Portugal match. Tough break for the US to drop the points like that. They're looking like they can do some damage though. Will be interesting to see how they do against Germany.

Holland-Chile looks like an intriguing matchup. Hope it is an exciting game.

The US still has a VERY strong chance of making it to the next round, right?

Yeah they still have a good chance. A minimum of a draw would be enough which could be possible against Germany, who I think are vulnerable on the counter attack. They could also still go through even if they lost based on goal difference.

Looks like Spain salvaged some pride today with a 3-0 win. Holland also clinched 1st in group B. Will be interesting to see who they face in the next round considering group A is still up for grabs.

Congrats to Mexico, shame on Rabic for his challenge on mexican player. I feel sorry for Croatia, its a good team, nobody knows what would happen if referee didn't help Brasil in the opening match...

Good job, EL Tri. Nonone xpected any CONCACAF team to get into the knockout stage. If the US can handle their business, 3 of the 4 CONCACAF teams will have made the round of 16.

Croatia did well, but EL Tri took hold of their opportunities. People can cry over what ifs all they want, but Croatia was in the position with their destiny in their own hands and didn't deliver. Soccer is cruel that way.

US hasn't qualified yet. Plus I can argue you owe me a beer because I had more faith in El Tri than you did.
