Does anyone understand the order of the third place teams?

3rd place between B, E, F, I, and J
How on earth is that determined?

Tiebreaker is goal differential.

There’s like 380 combinations of how it could play out. Just find a simulator online. FotMob the goat soccer app has one

Aussies may win it all with Raygun tbh

For the groups that are assigned as #1 vs #3, does the top group winner (e.g., the team with 9 pts and best GD) play the 8th 3rd-place team, or is it a random draw?

My friend says that if Bosnia gets third, we will get them. If they don’t, then it’s likely Algeria or Austria

quote:Your friend is confused. Our opponent is decided by which specific 8 groups send a 3rd place team to the knockouts. Bosnia finishing 3rd in Group B makes no difference as to whether we play Group B. There’s a pre-set schedule based on which of the 8 groups end up with a 3rd place team. That’s how we find out - no ranking or matchups based on points, GD, or other tiebreakers

As such there’s no way to know until Matchday 3 is over. We’re 1.33 Matchdays in and our opponent is currently potentially 20 teams

The simulators really love our chances to play a Group B team, either Bosnia or Qatar.
Then Ecuador or Senegal, followed by Algeria or Austria, assuming that a Group B side doesn’t go through.

I'm still confused.
Obviously the 8 third place teams are seeded 1-8, but does that mean our R32 match is paired with a specific third place seed?

That’s what I want to know, too. It seems a bit strange/complicated to me.
I guess it has to be this way if you’re trying to both avoid rematches and give proper rest, but idk, feels like just doing a 1-32 seeded bracket with the 12 group winners seeded 1-12 by pts then GD, followed by the 12 #2 group teams seeded 13-24 by pts then GD, followed by the remaining 8 #3 teams seeded at #25-32 would be most intuitive.
Would also give some incentive to teams in match #3 that have already clinched the group. Unless I’m mistaken/misunderstanding, I think our match against Turkey means literally nothing, because it doesn’t impact our seeding/opponent at all.

I think you are right
And part of the seeding order is based on the geographic locations of the teams and where they’ve played their previous games
