Here are the tie-breaker rules.

I wouldn't be surprised if Finland ties/beats Sweden (1-0 as I write), but just for the sake of argument, lets say this result stands.
Which teams would advance under these two scenarios from that Group under the assumption that Russia beats Finland 3-2?
Scenario 1
Team North America-Sweden 1-0
Scenario 2
Team North America-Sweden 10-0
Anyone care to take a swing at it? The rules are a bit odd, because they can be read as soon as a three way tie is "won", the remaining two teams go back to previous steps. Which would mean that if NAT, Russia and Sweden goes to Goal difference, NAT would take it in Scenario 2, and Sweden and Russia would start over and Sweden would take it on having beaten Russia. Or they can be read as that they enter it as a three way-tie, and comes out from it 1/2/3 with Sweden ranked last on goal diff under both scenarios. I am tired and need help.
