How to apply the rules?
So only the games against each other count, where each team won and lost one against the others. Mexico is then out because they scored two of their three goals against South Korea, which do not count for the comparison between the three teams that are equal. Is Germany then first because they won the match versus Sweden or is the direct comparison already done after number of points and goals of all that have the same points have been compared and the next rules applies, which is the fair play points, which would probably be won by Sweden?

- The head-to-head criteria cannot be reapplied, therefore fair play points would be the next tiebreaker. S.A. Julio (talk) 06:12, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
Poor English
Phrases such as 'the new millenia' and 'worst performance in the history' make clear that this article was not written by a native English-speaker. Please, non-natives, have your articles checked by a native speaker before you post them!213.127.210.95 (talk) 16:47, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
- Nope, that's not how WP works, see WP:CIRNOT, "['Competence is required'] does not mean one must be a native English speaker. There is no expectation that editors have high English skills. Minor spelling and grammar mistakes can be fixed by others. If a person's inability to use the English language prevents them from writing comprehensible text in the article space then instead they can post a request to the article talk page." The mistakes you highlight, while being obvious, do not prevent easy understanding of the text, and thus fall well short of this standard. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 19:13, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
Sweden line-up vs South Korea
I think we can all accept that Mikael Lustig is usually a right-back and Ludwig Augustinsson is usually a left-back, and match footage would show them playing that way in this game, but the FIFA tactical line-up PDF has them listed the other way round. Wikipedia policy says we have to follow the sources, but in cases where the source is demonstrably wrong, what should we do? – PeeJay 09:38, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
