It will happen tonight with Austria and Algeria.
Both teams sit on 3 points , each team gets 1 point for a draw. The goal differential is to high. They will pass the ball around for 90 min get the point each and move on to the next round.

Maybe, but it was Algeria that got hosed from the 1982 debacle.

Yep... the expansion of the World Cup has brought the possibility of what happened in the video happening again

Rendering the simultaneous kickoff essentially moot

Would be a shame if it happened to Iran this time.
