The first tiebreaker is head-to-head competition and then it goes to goal differential -- first head-to-head and then overall in the pool

Kuteyk has it right.\n\nIn Hockey if the player is past the blue line without the puck then passed to him he is OFFsides. But if he passes the blue line WITH the puck he is ON sides.\n\nIn Soccer, if the player is between the last defender and the the Goalie without the ball he is OFFsides, but if the player is  lined up next to the defender then the ball is passed to him he is ONsides.

It goes down to goal difference. This is calculated by; number of goals for minus goals against. Team with the higher goal difference goes through.

In hockey there are two blue lines and one red line in the center of the rink. You can't pass the puck over two lines to a team mate, this is called a two line pass. They do this so that when the puck is in one end someone from that team won't just sit outside the opponents zone and wait for a pass to get behind the opponents defense.

There is no rule like that.  You can check as many times as you want except if the same exact position is repeated three times.  Then it's a draw and the game ends as a tie.

You'll never have a 5 on goalie. You can only have two players from each team (for a total of four players) in the box at any given time. If more penalties are called they are delayed until someone from that team is back on the ice.

The 4 teams in each group play each other.  The two teams with the most points (win 3 pts, undecided 1 pt) advance to the next round.  If 2 teams have the same number of points, they look at their goal difference (goals made vs. goals against).  If that is also the same, they look at the result of the game played between the 2 teams.  If they played to an "undecided", then they raffle off the next round.  Sounds unfair, but what else is there - a "drink-off"??  THAT would be cool, though....

top two teams. goal differential is the tie breaker, if needed.\ntherefore, every goal could potentially make a difference. that seaminglessly pointless, yet moral boosting, goal scored in the 88 minute to beat a team 3-0 instead of 2-0 could end up being the goal that meant playing in the round of 16 as opposed to being elliminated from the tournament.\n\np.s. after the group stage, it's winner advances and loser goes home. no more second chances.

It depends on how the league is set up.  In my Yahoo leagues it is set by record.  The first tie breaker is total season points.  I havent had to go past this point yet but i would imagine that it would be head-to-head record.

In the world cup a team can be eliminated without even loosing a single game!!!!  Because of the round-robin play, a team can get 3 ties and be eliminated by two teams that won another game because of the point break-up.\n\nSay we have Pool X:\nTeam A...  2 wins, 1 tie, and  0 losses = 7 pts.\nTeam B...  1 win, 1 tie, and 1 loss = 4 pts.\nTeam C...  0 wins, 3 ties, and 0 losses = 3 pts.\nTeam D...  0 wins, 1 tie, and 2 losses = 1 pt.

Win  = 3 points\nDraw= 1point\nLoss = 0 point\n\nIn order to maintain the difference in the standing to arrange who goes above who, there are some formulas to do so:\n\nIn the World Cup it is by making a simple mathematical operation,  the goals for minus goals against, and then the number is the goal difference. This number can be positive of negative, whoever has the bigger number goes above the team that has a smaller number. Like a 0 goal difference, will go above a team with -1 goal difference. \n\nAlso in some leagues like in Spanish League they use another system, for example if two teams are tied in points, they look to the game they both play and the one that had win that games goes above the other team.\n\nBut it wasn't like that always, before 90's there where awarded\n\nWin   = 2 points\nDraw = 1 point\nLoss  = 0 point\n\nBut in order to impulse offensive game they award one point more to the victory.

Here is the official deciding rule for the World Cup 2006. It seems like the situation you describe falls within these rules:\n\nThe ranking of each team in each group will be determined as\nfollows:\na) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;\nb) goal difference in all group matches;\nc) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.\nIf two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings will be determined as follows:\nd) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;\ne) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the\nteams concerned;\nf) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;\ng) drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup™.

If every team has the same number of points, the same goal difference and the same number of goals for and against then the following method is employed:\n\nGreatest number of points obtained in all group matches, Goal difference in all group matches, Greatest number of goals scored in all matches.\n\nIf two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings will be determined as follows: \n\nGreatest number of points obtained in the group, matches between the teams concerned, Goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned , Greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned, Drawing of lots by the organising committee for the Fifa World Cup.

Teams are awarded one point for an overtime loss, which is essentially like half a win.\n\nThe Overtime loss came (before the shootout) becase the NHL wanted less games to end in a tie. They changed overtime to 4v4 and offered a point to the losing team, so that more teams will be more aggressive in the OT, with less games ending in a tie.\n\nAfter the advent of the shootout last year, they extended the OTL point for shootout losses as well.

As the previous answers mentioned, 3 points for winning, 1 point for drawing, 0 point for losing. However when the teams have equal points, then goal difference is the rule that will be used to rank them. For example both Argentina and Netherlands have 7 points after the group matches, but Argentina have a better goal difference compared to Netherlands so they top the group.

When two teams are tied in points and goal difference, the next thing is number of goals scored.\nIn case they are still tied, the score between them is what decides.\nAfter that, they flip a coin with members of both federations present.
