Complicated Group H

Thanks, Foxsports, for laying out very complicated paths to advancing to the Round of 16 for each of the four teams.  I used to keep track of this in the pool but now just let others do it for me now.  There could be 3 teams with 6 points or 3 teams with 3 points which causes this chaos.  Of course, it could just be simple with COL and GER winning.  And KOR would need to beat GER 5-0 or better to be in the conversation.  But fun to follow.

GROUP H

Colombia — advances to the Round of 16 if it wins or draws against Morocco, OR if it loses to Morocco and Germany draws or loses to South Korea, OR if it loses to Morocco and Germany defeats South Korea (and Colombia advances on tiebreakers over either Morocco or Germany).
Colombia — wins the group if it wins or draws against Morocco, OR if it loses to Morocco AND Germany defeats South Korea (and it wins tiebreakers over Germany and Morocco), OR if it loses to Morocco AND Germany draws or loses to South Korea (and it wins tiebreakers over Morocco).
Colombia — is eliminated if it loses to Morocco AND Germany defeats South Korea (and it loses tiebreakers to Germany and Morocco).

Germany — advances to the Round of 16 if it defeats South Korea AND Colombia wins or draws against Morocco, OR if it defeats South Korea AND Morocco defeats Colombia (and it wins tiebreakers over either Morocco or Colombia), OR if it loses to South Korea AND Colombia defeats Morocco (and it wins tiebreakers over Morocco and South Korea), OR if it draws South Korea AND Colombia defeats Morocco, OR if it draws South Korea AND Colombia draws Morocco (and it wins tiebreakers over Morocco).

Germany — is eliminated if it loses to South Korea AND Colombia defeats Morocco (and it loses tiebreakers to either Morocco or South Korea), OR if it loses to South Korea AND Colombia draws or loses to Morocco, OR if it draws South Korea and Morocco defeats Colombia, OR if it defeats South Korea AND Morocco defeats Colombia (and it loses tiebreakers to Morocco and Colombia).
