Group A: Cameroon-Brazil & Croatia-Mexico [View all]





Advancement Scenarios:
– Brazil and Mexico will advance to the knockout round with a win or a draw.
– Brazil will advance with a loss and a Mexico win.
– Should Brazil and Mexico both lose, it would come down to tiebreakers between the two teams (goal differential, then goals scored, then points obtained in games between the tied teams, then goal difference in the games between the two teams, then goals scored in the games between the two teams. If none of that settles anything, FIFA will pick a name out of a hat, a doomsday scenario that could easily happen on Wednesday in Group F.)
– Croatia will advance with a win over Mexico. Croatia will advance with a draw and a Brazil loss.
– Cameroon has no chance of advancing.
