GDT: WC - USA vs Czech Republic

[Nico13]

If Germany beats Switzerland tomorrow 3-0, then it will be GER-USA QF. Unlikely though. Most likely it's USA-SUI QF and that means, have a nice trip home team USA.

why 3-0?

why 3-0?

I'll copy paste my post from team Finland thread:

This might be interesting info regarding Finland's next opponent if Finland doesn't win the group. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is how it goes:

If GER pulls off an upset against SUI and takes 3 points from them and we would get a 3x 18 points tie between SUI, CAN, GER. Goal difference in the matches between these 3 teams would be the next deciding tiebreaking criteria.

GER 3-5 CAN +2 CAN
SUI 6-3 CAN +3 SUI & -3 CAN
SUI X-X GER - not yet played

------

The goal difference before the SUI-GER game. Canada's goal difference can't change anymore.

+3 SUI
-1 CAN
-2 GER

------

GER beats SUI on regulation by 1 goal difference. CAN beat GER in a match. SUI #1, CAN #2, GER #3.

+2 SUI
-1 CAN
-1 GER

------

GER beats SUI on regulation by 2 goal difference. SUI wins group. GER #2 by better goal differential. SUI #1, GER #2, CAN #3.

+1 SUI
0 GER
-1 CAN

------

GER beats SUI on regulation by 3 goal difference. GER #1, SUI #2, CAN #3.

+1 GER
0 SUI
-1 CAN

------

GER beats SUI on regulation by 4 goal difference. SUI beat CAN in a match. GER #1, SUI #2, CAN #3.

+2 GER
-1 SUI
-1 CAN

-----

GER beats SUI on regulation by 5 goal difference. This is very unlikely to happen and it is the only scenario where SUI would end up #3. GER #1, CAN #2, SUI #3.

+3 GER
-1 CAN
-2 SUI

So realistically. Germany's best chance is to beat SUI by 2 goal difference. That already would be an upset and that would improve Germany's position in the group, but SUI would still win the group. 3 goal difference win for GER would make Germany win the group.

SUI just can't lose 5-0 if they want to remain top-2 in the group. I personally think that SUI wins the group and FIN can't place #4 of their group so there's a very small chance that FIN would play against SUI in the QF match.

TY. Good job

Nice win... Lousy game. We choked against Austria in final minute so happy we didn't here.

I am curious if Finn's get langhamer tomorrow?

Our D is a collection of hard working, nice guys whose best is probably not good enough. I like them all but it's painful to watch. Forwards and goalies are great for us.
