By Cresp | June 23rd, 2006 at 4:25 pm I think even if France win 100-0 and Switzerland ties 2-2 with South Korea, Swiss and S Korea go through.
http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/releases/en/fwc_regulations_2006_090604_en.pdf
Swiss France 0-0
France S Korea 1-1
Assuming S Korea Swiss 2-2
The tie breaker would be:
(i) greater number of points among the 3 in the games involving those 3 – same points.
(ii) goal difference in the games involving these 3 – same GD
(iii) goals scored in the game involving these 3 … S Korea has 3 Swiss has 2 and France has 1
So Swiss and S Korea through.
