I don't care that much about winning the group but with a goal in the end of regulation they could have eliminated Canada. Now Canada is likely to go through.

I wanted Canada to go through. Why make Switzerland's or Russia's QF easier? As Finns we don't need to help SUI or RUS.

I wanted regulation win for FIN or FIN lose in SO/OT, but it didn't happen. Now I hope for Canada to get lucky and still make it.

It will be a winner-takes-it-all game for both Germany and Latvia. In one scenario both teams would advance: If Canada loses to Finland in OT/SO and the Germany-Latvia game ends up tied after 60 minutes going to OT/SO.

Why are on the last matchday games from the same group not played at the same time? Now, if Canada loses to Finland in OT/SO, Germany and Latvia can avoid taking risks and just take the tie after 60', screwing over Kazakhstan

My finger was ready throughout the shootout, immediately after the last attempt I bet a lot of money on Germany Latvia X

Ok now Canada can only hope that LAT-GER doesn't go in OT. Because even if LAT loses in OT they are out, because LAT, CAN AND KAZ would stand with 10 points. But LAT had the best goal difference of the games between the 3 teams.

Not if the game between LAT-GER is decided in regulation time. Because in this case either LAT or GER has 12 points and the other team stands still with 9 points. Canada has surely now 10 points. But Canada won the head-to-head match against Kazakhstan so they would finish the round as 4th.

Yea I realized it right after I posted it. My bad.

Pretty darn good leader too, Henrique. He's not Mörkö, but his presence is felt by all of his team mates.

Mörkö a good leader? Guy's completely useless, always hogs ice time. Awful passer, no shot to speak of, no physicality despite being massive etc. what a waste of a player. Almost lost OT solely due to him, as well.
 
Yawn...can't remember the last time a game against Canada in the WC has felt so boring. The lack of audience really flattens the atmosphere. Combine that with the C squads playing this year and it's really not very interesting at all. Hopefully things pick in the elimination phase. Otherwise a nap would be time better spent.

So regulation wins are more valuable than head to head games? Kinda dumb, Kazakhstan should get the tie-breaker for actually winning Canada, especially considering that they won more games extra time or not...

Edit: I was mistaken lol.

Head to head games are the first tie-breaker but Canada beat Kazakhstan

Personally I think they should just resort to goal difference as the first tie breaker anyway
 
Tie Breaking Formula:

The tie-breaking system for two teams with the same number of points in a standing will be the game between the two teams, the winner of the game taking precedence.

Due to the fact that the three-point system does not allow a game to end in a tie, then the following tie breaking procedure is applicable when three or more teams are tied in points in a Championship standing.

Should three or more teams be tied on points, then a tie breaking formula will be applied as follows, creating a sub-group amongst the tied teams. This process will continue until only two or none of the teams remain tied. In the case of two tied teams remaining, the game between the two would then be the determining tie-breaker as the game could not end as a tie. In the case of none of the teams being tied, the criteria specified in the respective step applies.

Step 1: Taking into consideration the games between each of the tied teams, a sub-group is created applying the points awarded in the direct games amongst the tied teams from which the teams are then ranked accordingly.

Step 2: Should three or more teams still remain tied in points then the better goal difference in the direct games amongst the tied teams will be decisive.

Step 3: Should three or more teams still remain tied in points and goal difference then the highest number of goals scored by these teams in their direct games will be decisive

Step 4: Should three or more teams still remain tied in points, goal difference and goals scored then the results between each of the three teams and the closest best-ranked team outside the sub-group will be applied. In this case the tied team with the best result (1. points, 2. goal difference, 3. more goals scored) against the closest best ranked-team will take precedence

Step 5: Should the teams still remain tied, then the results between each of the three teams and the next highest best-ranked team outside the sub-group will be applied.

Step 6: Should the teams still remain tied after these five steps have been exercised then Sport considerations will be applied and the teams will be ranked by their positions coming into the Championship (seeding).

In the case where two teams are tied and they have not yet played against each other, and in the
case where three or more teams are tied and not all mutual games have been played within the subgroup, the following criteria will be used to break the tie: 1. fewest number of games played, 2. highest goal Difference in all games, 3. highest number of goals for in all games, 4. highest tournament seeding entering the tournament.
 
Germany and Latvia could make a "deal" together to reach the OT. ;)
 
The only hope for Canadians now is that Germany and Latvia don’t agree to go to OT because they want to finish 3rd in the group and trust their squad to win in regulation

Haven't done the math, is there still a scenario where KAZ makes the quarters?
Click to expand...

That is no more possible with any scenario. If LAT-GER is decided in regulation time they are out because they lost against Canada. If GER-LAT goes in OT they are out too no matter who wins. In both cases KAZ had the worst goal difference of the games between the 3 teams with 10 points.

Definitely not. It would let the weakest teams decide who will advace just because they stop playing in some game after first period, if they have 2-3 goal deficit.
 
I have KAZ being eliminated in all scenarios, yet people here are saying that KAZ can advance. If I have something wrong here, someone tell me where? Look at this:

Tiebreaker - points in group (not goal differential) - LAT/CAN/KAZ - KAZ ELIMINATED?:
-----------------------------
KAZ-CAN - +3 CANADA
KAZ-LAT (OT) - +2 KAZ, +1 LAT
CAN-LAT - +3 LATVIA

LAT 4
CAN 3
--
KAZ 2 - KAZ OUT?
___________________________


Tiebreaker - points in group (not goal differential) - GER/CAN/KAZ:
-----------------------------
KAZ-CAN - +3 CANADA
KAZ-GER - +3 KAZ
CAN-GER - +3 GER

-----------------------------

Tiebreaker - Goal differential in head to head games - GER/CAN/KAZ - KAZ ELIMINATED?:

GER +1
CAN 0
--
KAZ -1 - KAZ OUT?

3 games' results were:
---------
KAZ-CAN - 2-4
KAZ-GER - 3-2
GER-CAN - 3-1
----------------------------------------------------------

Doesn't this mean that Canada advances no matter what happens in the GER vs LAT game.
