2018 World Cup group match qualification rules knockout rules (detailed explanation)

The 2018 Russia world cup is going on like a raging fire, but do you know the rules for qualifying for the World Cup group and knockout? Such a professional problem as a qualified fan is not unknown. Let's have a look.

Qualifying rules of 2018 World Cup group match

The rules for qualifying in group matches are as follows:

1. Top of the list

2. Top of the group in terms of total goal winner

3. Top of the group in terms of total goals

If there are still two or more teams in parallel according to the above rules, then compare them in the following order to determine the ranking order:

4. Compare the number of net wins between teams in parallel. If they are still equal,

5. Compare the winning and losing relationships between teams in parallel. If they are still equal,

6. Compare the total number of goals between teams in parallel. If they are still equal,

7. FIFA organizes the draw.

The first two teams in each group are qualified for the knockout stage. Among them, the last two games of each group must be kicked off at the same time.

In a formal football match, each team can use up to three replacement places in a match, which seems to be common.

In fact, the football match did not allow the replacement at the beginning, but the development rules of the times also keep pace with the times. According to FIFA, there are five extra time matches in the eight 1 / 8 finals of this world cup.

In the second half of the game, the players' fatigue and sleepiness decreased, and the brilliance was also reduced. As a result, FIFA is mulling a proposal to allow a fourth player to be replaced in case of overtime.

Knockout competition opens the mode of full overtime

Eight first round knockout games are over, and all eight teams have reached the top eight of the world cup for the first time in their history. However, in the eight games, there are five overtime games, two penalty shootouts, and the 'speed of life and death' played by Holland at the last moment. The strong team is not strong, the weak team is not weak, the world cup big names in the face of opponents but spent nine cows and two tigers, it is surprising.

Extra time is very painful to watch. What about the 'performers' on the court? One by one, his mouth was wide open, and he was already exhausted.

Because most of the time, I didn't expect to have extra time to decide. Normally a game is 90 minutes. An extra extra time game means another 30 minutes. There's a third more 'work' in vain.

So, after 90 minutes of fierce fighting, does the team still have the strength to finish?

I'm afraid it's enough. Next, eight in four has become a new test. Is there any overtime? The answer is possible. In any case, these days the evil complement can certainly be right. So, Messi, Neymar, Muller and Robben, let's practice.

At present, up to three substitutes can be used in each game. In the knockout game, both sides can reach a draw within the specified time, as well as in the 30 minute overtime. But extra time players are exhausted because of their physical fitness, and the brilliance of the game is inevitably discounted. How to coordinate this potential 'contradiction'. FIFA is mulling a new rule: allowing a fourth substitute in extra time. If the proposal is adopted, it may be implemented from the Russian World Cup.

FIFA has asked its own technical and advisory teams to discuss the possibility of implementing the new rule and come up with the final result before the 2018 World Cup: whether to put the fourth substitute on the court in the stoppage period. 'I think it's a good idea, change is good for everyone. "Former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier, a member of FIFA's technical research team, has expressed his support for this plan.

Houllier believes that the implementation of the new rules can avoid players in high-intensity, high fatigue in the game suffered more injuries. 'it's a good idea, but only in extra time can we make the fourth substitute. If a player is injured, why can't he be replaced? '
