World Cup 2022: Scenarios, bracket, standings, points tiebreakers as Uruguay eliminated on South Korea win

We’re reaching the business end of the World Cup group stage, with just two groups left on Friday. So far, France, Australia, Portugal, England, Senegal, USA, Netherlands, Argentina, Poland, Morocco, Croatia, Japan, South Korea, Spain and Brazil have qualified for the 1/8 finals. On Friday we conclude the group stage of the World Cup.

Looking at tiebreakers, the team with the most points advances, and the start is simple. If two teams have the same points, it goes to their total goal difference. If they are still tied, the team with the highest number of goals in the next place will be the promoted side. The rules will only be applied again if two tied teams play head-to-head. Thus, after the total points in those matches, there is a difference between head-to-head games and goals scored. If they go all the way and can’t be split, then it goes to a fair game system.

The team with the least number of penalty kicks in the matches will advance. Thus, a team loses one point for one yellow card, three points for each red card for a second yellow card, four points for a straight red card and five points for a straight red card after a yellow.
