So as it stands now we have :

HTML:
	M	W	D	L	Pts	Goal Diff
Uruguay	2	1	1		4	3
Mexico	2	1	1		4	2
France	2		1	1	1	-2
South A	2		1	1	1	-3

So by my calculations we can't have Mexico and Uruguay playing to a draw. We need a winner! (These stand to be corrected!)

If Uruguay win by 1 goal, we need to beat France by 4. Then we will be level on points with Mexico on points and goal difference but we would have scored more goals.

Uruguay by 2 goals, we need to beat France by 3.

If Mexico win by those differences, we need to score one extra against France than above!

Best case scenario Uruguay beat Mexico by 4 goals! :) But the problem is that they have no need to do this as they would have already qualified.
 
Dream on... we haven't got a snowball's chance in hell of qualifying. The Mexicans (as they have shown tonight) are no pushovers and will give Uruguay a run for their money. France will go all out to do something at this World Cup now that they are virtually guaranteed to be leaving. So... not a chance...
 
smokey's spot on. The French have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain. So SA are going to go down as the first ever host nation not to make it through to the final 16? Great :/
 
What a downer. Useless France! Wow :(

Maybe we just destroy them 4-0 and Uruguay sneak one past Mexico. Then all is well :)

Um, no chance would mean an impossibility.... FAIL!

No, it was actually quite expected. But again I will await the final games before sounding the death knell...
 
Basically what needs to happen is either Uruguay or mexico to nail each other by 2 or 3 goals 4 or 5 would be awesome and we need to do the same to france.

Come on boys!!!!!!!!!!!! ****ing attack the french, go out with a bang even if you lose. Just try is all i am asking!!!!!!!

Lance it has been sounded, nothing short of a miracle will help us, while there is not much hope we best get ready to support the shyte out of them.

Wake up and smell the coffee Lance. It's done, over, never going to happen.
Geez I can't see how anyone in the world will think SA will still qualify for the top 16 :o

It is for all intents and purposes an impossibility. Just because you FAIL to see it as such is not my problem really.
 
So Uruguay needs to pwn Mexico with a huge goal difference and then we'll win against France. Unlikely, but quite possible.

I want them to WTFPWN the French but not to go to the top 16 as that won't happen. But to restore some respect after the game of last night :(

Yip, that there is my exact attitude.... such a pity that others are so defeatist. I wonder if they are like that with everything in life! Come on Bafana!
 
Nothing wrong with being realistic i am very much like that but nothing mathematically possible is impossible.

While there is not much hope why not jump on it and hope. What is the worst thing that can happen? We go out? So what it was expected.
 
The only way SA can go through is if one of 2 things happen, and this being SA I'm not rulling it out :D

1. All their vehicles are stolen and one of the 2 teams don't pitch for their game in the Mexico Uruguay game.
2. 1 of the 2 team all get robbed and shot. Doesn't need to be killed just hurt in such a way not to be able to play.

Appart from that SA is farked :o
 
Who ever finishes second in our group, will play Argentina, so the Americans can't have a Spanish agreement. Mexico must win as their second and Uruguay won't let them, but it all comes to nothing if we don't beat the French.

Not at all, I just don't bet on a Dying horse in the Durban July.
There is the very very very slim possibility that me might just give me a pay out of 50 - 1 but there is just no way anyone can see it happen.

See the difference?
 
Well we drew 1 -1 with mexico,mexico beat france 2 - 0,we cud maybe win by 3 against france,then just hope uruguay rape mexico.Still a very long shot.
 
Support them guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is wrong with supporting them? Must be better than being negative. Hope is all we need to get through :D.

Come on boyz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why are you guys thinking mexico are worse than Uruguay? Mexico are very good.
