    It would be great if Croatia somehow score the 1st goal

    That would set the Spanish into an all mighty panic

    Italy and Spain would advance currently.
    all 3 teams tied against eachother...being croatia spain, italy...and all beat Ireland.

    Spain 4-0
    Croatia 3-1
    Italy 1-0....half

    is it b/c Italy tied Spain and Croatia 1-1 and their current score is 0-0?

    In the 2nd Croatia will open it up and try to score bcuz italy is up 1-0. Once Croatia does that it will allow spain to do thier magic. I think spain will score 2 goals in the 2nd bcuz of that and that will be a 2-0 win for spain. I mean look they are toying with Croatia and they arent really even trying yet. So for all of u guys who have spain relax. Also i be the draw so i fully expect ro lose as i dont win in soccer.

    yes

    a. Higher number of points obtained in the matches played among the teams in question.
    b. Superior goal difference in the matches among the teams in question (if more than two teams finish equal on points).
    c. Higher number of goals scored in the matches among the teams in question (if more than two teams finish equal on points).
    d. Superior goal difference in all the group matches.
    e. Higher number of goals scored in all the group matches.

    Knows nothing -zero - phuck all about football. Seriously.

    Spain would love to play Italy in the Final so they could dismantle them.
    At best that match would go to PKs for Spain. Ask Germany how easy it is to 'dismantle' Italy.

    So, Croatia, Italy and Spain are all on five points. It becomes a mini-league between those teams (ie the results against Ireland are removed from the equation). All three have two points in that scenario, all have goal differences of zero, but Italy are top on goals scored.

    Spain has more goals scored than Italy,

    Italy advances b/c they scored more goals against Croatia than Spain did since all 3 of those teams have tied eachother, if Spain, Croatia tie 0-0

    If they tie 1-1, then Spain I think wins group and Croatia 2nd

    I'm talking about the outcome of the match.

    The longer no goals are scored, the more likely a draw becomes.

    ESPN announcers finally admit that Spain is just trying to milk the clock. They're saying they have no interest in trying to win and take the group outright.

    Certainly looks like Spain is holding back on opportunities. Only Croatia is trying to score.

    It's gonna end Draw.
