Yeah this is going to require a team effort cause there's no way I get all of this right.
We all new this was going to happen once the group was announced. An actual group of death. Now coming down to the last day everyone is still alive...though not for long.
Here's what we know!
Lithuania and Argentina are going to make the knockout round!
Nigeria and Brazil can't win the group
In a multiple tied at 3-2 scenario, Lithuania's probably fucked. Losing by 50 is bad, like real bad.
Spain can still win the group!
Spain can still be eliminated!
UGH
I guess I can try to narrow this by team. AGAIN PLEASE CORRECT ME THIS SHIT IS COMPLICATED.
Lithuania
Guaranteed in the knockout round!
Wins group if: They beat Croatia
Chance of tanking: 0%
Straight forward, beat Croatia, win the group. Pretend loss to Spain never happened.
Argentina
Guaranteed in the knockout round!
Wins group if: They beat Spain, and Lithuania loses.
Chances of tanking: 0%
As the middle game they have no idea how the Lithuanian game is going to go so no choice but to try to win.
Spain
Gets in with a win
Wins group if: Beat Argentina and Lithuania loses
Gets knocked out if: They lose to Argentina, and Croatia beat Lithuania or Brazil beats Nigeria
chances of tanking 0%
Most to win and lose, are they back, are they done?
Croatia
Gets in with a win
Wins Group with: Insane point differential win
Gets Knocked out if: Lose and Nigeria win, Spain win.
chances of taniking 0-100%
They play the last game so they'll know if winning is necessary or does nothing.
Brazil
Can't win the group
Gets in: Win + Croatia win + Spain loss
Gets Knocked if: Loss, Win+Croatian loss + Spain win, Croatian loss + Spain loss + pont differential difference.
Chance of tank: 0% have to win
Nigeria
Can't win group
Gets in: Win + Spain win + Croatia Loss
Gets knocked out: Loss, Spain loss + Croatian win, Spain loss + Croatian loss and Point differential difference.
Chance of tank: 0% have to win.
Why the hell not?!
