Group A: Cameroon-Brazil & Croatia-Mexico





Advancement Scenarios:
– Brazil and Mexico will advance to the knockout round with a win or a draw.
– Brazil will advance with a loss and a Mexico win.
– Should Brazil and Mexico both lose, it would come down to tiebreakers between the two teams (goal differential, then goals scored, then points obtained in games between the tied teams, then goal difference in the games between the two teams, then goals scored in the games between the two teams. If none of that settles anything, FIFA will pick a name out of a hat, a doomsday scenario that could easily happen on Wednesday in Group F.)
– Croatia will advance with a win over Mexico. Croatia will advance with a draw and a Brazil loss.
– Cameroon has no chance of advancing.

Tons of goals scored in the last 10 minutes of both games. I wonder if it's a sign of things to come on Thursday.

Brazil and Mexico tie at the top of the group, but Brazil finishes first with the goal differential.

Chile has to play Brazil which I'm sure they won't like.

I think the word got out to Brazil before their fourth goal. Would that the U.S. stayed aggressive like that last night.

Really looking forward to Holland-Mexico.
