How to apply the rules?

If Sweden beats Mexico 1-0 and Germany beats South Korea 1-0, Germany, Sweden, and Mexico all have 6 points and 3-3 goals. So only the games against each other count, where each team won and lost one against the others. Mexico is then out because they scored two of their three goals against South Korea, which do not count for the comparison between the three teams that are equal. Is Germany then first because they won the match versus Sweden or is the direct comparison already done after number of points and goals of all that have the same points have been compared and the next rules applies, which is the fair play points, which would probably be won by Sweden?

The head-to-head criteria cannot be reapplied, therefore fair play points would be the next tiebreaker. S.A. Julio (talk) 06:12, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
