Group A and B Scenarios

Group A and B Scenarios

This is sort of my specialty, so hopefully I won't make any errors, but you see errors in these things all the time, even on official sites, so if I do screw it up let me know in comments and I'll update. The scenarios are in order from most to least likely. I'd give you odds but then you'd go and gamble and lose and blame me.


Group A

Uruguay/Mexico

This result is so likely that it's a bit difficult to detail all the different ways it can happen. Suffice it to say this is what happens if none of this other mess I'm about to describe happens.

Uruguay/France

Uruguay WIN + France WIN by total margin of at least 5 goals

Mexico/France

Mexico WIN + France WIN by total margin of at least 6 goals

Uruguay/South Africa

Uruguay WIN + South Africa WIN by a total margin of at least 6 goals

Mexico/South Africa

Mexico WIN + South Africa WIN by a total margin of at least 7 goals

France/South Africa

Royal Bafokeng Stadium HIT BY METEOR

Group B

Argentina/South Korea

Argentina WIN or TIE+ South Korea WIN or TIE

OR

Greece WIN by <3 + South Korea WIN by >1

Argentina/Nigeria

Argentina WIN + Nigeria WIN by >1

Argentina/Greece

Greece WIN + Nigeria WIN or TIE

OR

Greece WIN by >2 + South Korea WIN by <2

South Korea/Greece

Greece WIN by >2 + South Korea WIN by >1

These scenarios look a little wilder than reality, of course; Argentina, South Korea, Mexico and Uruguay are heavy favorites to advance.
