[quote name="dalton26" post="71315" timestamp="1403481350"]Why don't they go to penalty kicks? How can a game end in a tie?

Both teams get a point in pool play. 3 points for a win, 1 for each for a tie. In knockout rounds, they would play 2 more 15 minute halves then go to PK's if still tied.

How does the point system work? 5 points and you advance?

Top 2 in each group advance regardless of point total, tiebreaker is goal difference.

Found this on twitter. Here's our scenario right now: [attachment=970:ImageUploadedByBtownBanners1403483193.545962.jpg] Remember...our goal differential is +5 on Portugal and +1 on Ghana, and that's the first tiebreaker. 2nd tiebreaker is goals scored, which we have on Ghana and Portugal (as of now) then it goes head-to-head. Very likely we advance. But it's the World Cup. So yeah. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

[quote name="jurkinonthecourt" post="71330" timestamp="1403482837"]Sad that after being down a goal in the first five minutes a draw can be so disappointing. Win, draw, or lose by no more than one and we advance. I (still) believe.

I thought the announcers said that only a win or tie is the only way we can advance?

Only way we can advance without the tiebreakers.
