Re: [nas] Geez, Hope This Doesn't Happen to USA.....

Yeah, but there are about a dozen tiebreakers and
that's over 16 games a host of things can happen.  I
don't think it's ever even gotten close to coming down
to a coin flip in the NFL.  With soccer's one point
for a goal and only three games group set-up, the
chance of a coin flip is greatly increased.

I just hope it doens't come to it...that would be
embarrasing...especially if we got sent home.
