What are the tie-breakers for the Olympics soccer?

Question

Doing the math.....if Netherlands defeats Japan, and Nigeria and USA tie, all three end up on 5 points. Is it goal differential to break the tie? or something else?

Answer 1

what up playmaker.well if the the teams are tied with 5 pts a piece.

then they will go to goal differential.if the goal differential is equal.

they will go to who scored more goals.

that would mean.if the US ties Nigeria both will have 5 pts.

both would be at +1 in goal differential regardless of the result of the tie.then the deciding factor would be goals scored.

right now the US has 3 goals scored and 2 recieved.

Nigeria has 2 goals scored and 1 recieved.

that would give the US first place because the US has more goals scored.their differential is equal+1.

their goals scored arent.US 3 Nigeria 2.
