Group F: Bosnia and Herzegovina-Iran & Nigeria-Argentina

Advancement Scenarios:

– Argentina has clinched a spot in the knockout round and will clinch first place in the group with a win or draw against Nigeria.

– Nigeria will advance with a win or draw against Argentina, or a loss combined with an Iran loss or draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

– If Nigeria loses to Argentina and Iran beats Bosnia, here’s where things could get interesting. The tiebreaker will come down to the final scores of each game. If Iran wins and Nigeria loses by the same one-goal score (1-0, 2-1 or 3-2, for instance), FIFA would be forced to pick a name out of a hat to determine who advances, as the teams — who played to a 0-0 draw on June 16 — would have the same number of points, the same goal differential and the same number of goals scored.
