Four years ago I did a standings/scenario thread before the third matches for each group. People really seemed to enjoy them and there was good discussion, and I had a lot of fun making each thread, so I'd figure I'd do it again. I'll post it the late afternoon/night before the matches, and bump right before gametime if they've moved far down the board. The only group I'm definitely not going to make a thread for is Group B, since it's obvious (Spain/Australia eliminated. Netherlands win/draw against Chile, they win the group. Chile wins, they win the group). Probably won't do Group G either since it's the USA's and there will be plenty of threads on the scenarios there, but we'll see.

Here's Group A. Groups C and D to come tomorrow evening.

Standings:

Team Pts GD GF
Brazil 4 2 3
Mexico 4 1 1
Croatia 3 2 5
Cameroon 0 -5 0

Future Matches:

Cameroon vs. Brazil, Monday, 4 p.m.
Croatia vs. Mexico, Monday, 4 p.m.

Scenarios:

Brazil

Advances with win OR draw

Advances with Mexico win

Advances with loss AND Croatia win IF Brazil wins tiebreaker over Mexico (first tiebreaker is goal differential (GD). Second is goals for (GF))

Wins group with win AND Croatia win

Wins group with win OR draw AND Mexico/Croatia draw

Wins group with win AND Mexico win IF Brazil wins tiebreaker over Mexico

Eliminated with loss AND Mexico/Croatia draw

Eliminated with loss AND Croatia win IF Brazil loses tiebreaker to Mexico

Mexico

Advances with win OR draw

Advances with loss AND Brazil loss IF Mexico wins tiebreaker

Wins group with win AND Brazil draw OR loss

Wins group with draw AND Brazil loss

Wins group with win AND Brazil win IF Mexico wins tiebreaker

Eliminated with loss AND Brazil win OR draw

Eliminated with loss AND Brazil loss IF Brazil wins tiebreaker

Croatia

Advances with win

Advances with draw AND Brazil loss

Wins group with win AND Brazil loss OR draw

Eliminated with loss

Eliminated with draw AND Brazil draw OR win

Cameroon

ELIMINATED

My predicted order of finish:

1) Brazil
2) Croatia
3) Mexico
4) Cameroon

Just can't see Brazil not winning against a Cameroon side that has both way less talent and nothing to play for. And I simply think Croatia is better than Mexico and will beat them. Call me biased.

Agreed, mainly because Cameroon is Cameroon and enjoys fricking up massively at the Cup.


And the Croat midfield will have a field day with Mexico.
