For each group, the last two games are played simultaneously, so opponents can't conspire to a mutually beneficial result by knowing the outcome of the other game.
Two teams from each group advance. A team gets 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw. The first tiebreaker is goal-differential, the next is goals scored.
Team.........Pts..Goal-Diff..Goals-Scored
Uruguay.......4......+3..........3
Mexico........4......+2..........3
France........1......-2..........0
S. Africa.....1......-3..........1
Uruguay plays Mexico on ESPN and France plays the host team on ESPN2.
Uruguay and Mexico each only need a draw to advance, and even if one of them loses, the France-South Africa winner needs to make up 4-to-6 goals in order to win a tie-breaker.
