Here's how World Cup tiebreakers work

[@hatrick316]

If it's decided by a coin toss, how do you decide who calls the flip?

[@watchman9198]

You go through another 20 point checklist to decide lol

[@Applesauce292]

Coin toss is total crap. It should never come down to that. Penalty kicks (also not a great tie breaker) would be a far better solution.

[@FloRiva2]

The coin toss thing is stupid and unfair, I heard it happened once before in the World Cup. They should do a rematch and extra time and penalties if needed to decides who goes through. Not a coin toss, that would start riots over here in the US!

[@STAWSKINATOR]

The last tie breaking procedure in NFL is a coin flip

[@pisethhum2811]

I always thought after all that, they would look at current official FIFA rankings next.

[@drvelocci]

@@STAWSKINATORyeah but In the nfl it would be impossible to be tied to that point, they go dow to things like yards for and against, strength of teams in and out of division and conference. Would be statistically impossible to get to that point

[@baleia]

i always thought they would count yellow and red cards before...

[@gagnabil]

You’re right, they check yellow and red cards between the concerned teams before going to the drawing lots with balls and bowl, no coin flip

[@drvelocci]

I think this almost just happened to Mexico, they almost lost out because they had one more yellow card…

[@EltronOfficial]

I need you to explain that vneck, not cool man.

[@gagnabil]

As of 2018, they check yellow and red cards between the concerned teams before going to the drawing lots with balls and bowl, no coin flip

[@sebastianchee2818]

gag nabil they draw lots from a Hat.

[@BryonLetterman]

That is incredibly complicated.

[@gagnabil]

I thought they’d go for the first scorer but I was wrong
