Hi,
That particular can of worms has been crawling all over the forums discussing the World Cup. Some think the head-to-head history is the best way to determine ties, others don't and offer many other alternatives. I think that in a low scoring game like soccer, and with only a very few matches determining who moves up, one mistake by the players or one bad call by the refs can throw everything off. Frankly, I don't think there are any good ways to determine who moves up, only bad and worse. But what do I know.
