No one alone can take the thophy for their team.. u can say this about a match but not for a whole series.. for winning the world cup or any other series the team should have to play as a team unit .. from 11 players 1 or 2 players always make a difference in team winning.. but not a particular one in all matches :D

All of the people who answered before me are wrong in some respect...either not providing a complete answer or just being wrong.\nAccording to the FIFA World Cup Regulations manual, Article 31 states that:\n"The 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\nthe 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\nteams concerned;\ng) drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World\nCup™."\nIf needbe check my source for confirmation, see page 40 - 41.

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™.

To Haris, above- The key words are "draw lots".  If it was stated as a decision made by the "organizing committee", I would not doubt the criteria for advancement you proposed - God knows what the hell the organizing committee might decide to use as criteria...prettiest uniforms?  Enjoy the knockout stage.\n\n"Haris" knocks Americans but hasn't got a clue himself.  Copied and pasted from FIFA - short answer is drawing lots if no points scored at all in a group - not shots on goal or other statistical crap:\nXVIII. TECHNICAL RULES FOR THE FINAL COMPETITION \n\nArticle 31 First round (groups) \n\n5. The ranking of each team in each group will be determined as follows: \n\na) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches; \n\nb) goal difference in all group matches; \n\nc) greatest number of goals scored in all group 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\nd) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned; \n\ne) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned; \n\nf) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned; \n\ng) drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup™. \n\n6. The two teams coming first and second in each group qualify for the second round.

If you're submitting an Ultimate team roster for an official UPA (Ultimate Players Assoc.) sanctioned tournament, then you should contact the tournament director to get the official UPA team roster form for the tournament. At the top of the page, the vital information will be clearly listed.\n\nOr you can scroll down on the Scoreomatic page for an Ultimate game and see how the "pros" list their team members. (Note that to list Scores and Assists, you'd have to keep stats of your games.)\n\nIf you want to have a printed or written roster for your team as a fun way to present your team (on a web site, or school paper, etc.) then you have some flexibility and can be creative with it. I think the most important thing about a roster with this objective is to make sure that none of your teammates are made to feel bad about themselves because the roster implies any short-comings (so don't list a player as "short" but rather as being a "sharp cutter."\n\nAside from a name, you can pick and choose whatever you want t list about your team members: nickname, height, previous team affiliation, which hand they throw with (though opponents might benefit from knowing this too), primary role on the team (handler, deep, defender, etc.), 100 yard dash time. If your team gets serious and actually keeps stats, then you can track things like scores, assists, defensive blocks/interceptions, drops/throw-aways. \n\nKeep in mind that one of the functions of a roster such as that described above ca be to mold the team's competitive focus. As an example, if you list defense blocks, then team members will have an added incentive to play hard defense to improve their stats. \n\nAbove all, have fun with it.\n--Retsu

Here is how Yahoo does it:\n\nFor every time you pick a team right, you get one point.\nFor every time you pick wrong or do not pick you get zero points.\n\nSimple, really!

India have tried all flavours, all the tricks in the book, but there is no stopping the west indian team from loving to draw the series. Anyone comes there, their first effort is to draw the series, whosoever(india, australia, or zimbabwe). India will have to have the killer instinct, and the luck west indians are currently enjoying!!

Performance should be teh key to selection..\nIF it was implemented 2 years before ganguly would have played some 40 ODI's lesser than his current number and sachin would have played some 330 ODIs in his whole carrer..\njust to naarow this discussion based on the 2 in the question

Only 32 teams get the chance to play in the world cup. India failed to qualify. Competition on the soccer field is intense, and India excels at field hockey and rounders not soccer.

If you ask of only performance, India will get a 7 out of 10. Indian batsmen have performed very well, and fielding is up to the mark. India lag behind in specialist bowlers (in hindi - tikkau) like pathan, bhajji, nehra, agarkar etc. \nAnd another thing which hasnt favoured India is the luck. Somehow the first match was drawn by a splendid show in pain by Edwards, but the second test was drawn all because of one day and a half lost in rain!!!
