World Cup Group stage articles

I'm proposing to delete the group articles since there is infor in the main FIFA World Cup 2006 article. Kingjeff 21:37, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Instead, I propose to remove some of the information at the 2006 FIFA World Cup page. I think, that the results at that page should be as on 2004 European Football Championship. When the WC is over, a statistic page also could be made, also as Euro 04. ka la ha 21:32, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to remove the prod tag one more time. Theoretically it would be more correct for me to replace it with an AfD nomination, but I don't want to be the nominator, and I suspect it would just be speedily kept anyway. Melchoir 23:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Qualification scenarios

In the US section, it says they'll advance if they beat Ghana by 4 or more goals. This isn't true. What if Czech Republic tromps Italy 9-0 for example? I'd like someone to double-check me before I change it though. --Goldencrisp87 21:44, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think youre right. USA has to win by 4 if cze and italy tie because then both cze and usa would have 4 points and usa is -3 and cze is +1 Dav2008 21:55, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For everyone's information, it is possible for the U.S.A. to win, say, 4-0 and still get knocked out. It would only take a 2-2 draw in the ITA-CZE game (not exactly a far-fetched outcome) - that would leave both USA and CZE with 5 goals for to 4 goals against. CZE would then advance on head-to-head.

Just added the title above. I was vaguely wondering if anyone had got round to sorting out the various tie-breaking scenarios in this group... The blank section tells me otherwise, or maybe older versions are buried in the page history. This is what I meant elsewhere by "some of these tie-break scenarios can get fiendishly complicated". :-) Carcharoth 01:15, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

USA or United States?

For the purpose of consistency I think one of the two should be chosen. The main 2006 WC article uses USA exclusively while this one uses United States in some places. I'm suggesting that we change the 4 instances of "United States" to USA. Anyone agree? Dav2008 14:36, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

USA formation is all wrong

in the game against the Czechs the United States used a 4-5-1 alignment. Beasley was playing on the right wing, convey on the left, Mastroeni and Reyna in the center of midfield, Donovan playing an attacking midfield and McBride up top alone, could someone with more experience in those tables fix this?
