Sports for Qatar, after Morocco's victory over Belgium (Photo: Paz Hasdai. Video editing: Aviad Belili)
The first two rounds in the group stage are over and now we move to money time.
We are abandoning (unfortunately) the format of four games at split times, with the decisive round of games taking place in doubles.
In each house, the two meetings will be held at the same time for four days - one house at 17:00 and another house at 21:00 and at the end of all the meetings, the qualifiers for the round of 16 of the World Cup will be determined.
We tried to give you an order regarding the chances of the national teams, with a number of reservations.
One - we didn't try to calculate who would finish first and who would finish second, only the top ones.
The second - we did not calculate all the possible scenarios.
A 5:0 Wales victory over England would move tectonic plates in Group B, but most likely it won't happen.
That's why we went for the more logical options.
In addition, we did not get into matters of deciding on "fair play" - tie breakers based on yellow cards.
This is already a promising scenario.
What do you see next in the World Cup?

What does Poland need?
A draw with Argentina, or a minimal loss and a draw between Saudi Arabia and Mexico/minimum Mexican win.

A win over Poland, of course, although a draw would also raise them in the event that Saudi Arabia does not win or Mexico does not defeat Saudi Arabia.
What does Saudi Arabia need?
A win over Mexico, or a draw in case of a Polish win over Argentina by three goals/Argentinian win by four goals.
What does Mexico need?
Mainly a miracle, but also a great victory over Saudi Arabia together with a decision between Argentina and Poland.

The following matches (Wednesday at 17:00):
Tunisia-France, Australia-Denmark.
What does France need?
is nothing.
France advanced to the next stage.
What does Australia need?
A draw with Denmark would lift them assuming Tunisia don't beat France, but they must beat the Danes in the event of a Tunisian surprise.
What does Denmark need?
Very simple - victory over Australia.
It is unlikely that the Danes will not advance if they win, in case Tunisia beat France by a higher goal difference than their win.
What does Tunisia need?
A win over France will be enough in the event of a draw between Denmark and Australia.
If Denmark wins, the Tunisians need a victory with a higher goal difference than the Danes.

Next matches (Thursday, 21:00):
Japan-Spain, Costa Rica-Germany.
What does Spain need?
A draw against Japan, or a draw between Costa Rica and Germany or a German victory by a reasonable margin.
In short, only a colossal and illogical collapse will prevent the Spaniards from playing in the round of 16.
What does Japan need?
A victory over Spain or a draw against the Spaniards and a draw between Germany and Costa Rica.
What does Costa Rica need?
A win over Germany or a draw against Germany and a Spanish win over Japan.

Next matches (Thursday, 17:00):
Croatia - Belgium, Canada - Morocco.
What does Croatia need?
Draw against Belgium.
A loss would also cost the Croatians if Canada beats Morocco.
What does Morocco need?
In principle, her victory over Canada or a Croatian victory over Belgium will do the job for her.
So did a draw against the Canadians and a draw between Croatia and Belgium.
What does Belgium need?
Victory over Croatia.
A draw will boost the Belgians in the event of a Moroccan loss by a large margin to Canada.
Canada is out.

A win over Brazil, although even that might not be enough if Serbia beats Switzerland by a higher margin.
What does Serbia need?
A win over Switzerland and Cameroon will not beat Brazil.
If Cameroon do win, the Serbs need to win by one more goal to advance.

Ghana-Uruguay, South Korea Portugal.
What does Portugal need?
Not a word and not half a word, Portugal advanced to the round of 16.
What does Ghana need?
Basically, a draw against Uruguay should do, unless South Korea beat Portugal by two goals.
What does South Korea need?
A win over Portugal and a loss for Ghana or a win with a difference of two goals or more and a draw for Ghana.
What does Uruguay need?
A two-goal win over Ghana is necessary, but it probably won't be enough if South Korea beats Portugal.
