I think the krauts will probably still get 6 points and win on goal difference.
Jerome Boateng has a Ghanaian passport.

Klose and Ozil are German. Podolski has lived in Germany since he was what, 2? Cacau ok but there were plenty of English people wanting Almunia/Cudicini to play for us? The whole not german thing is very
Nope... he is dual nationality... Turkish and German... but as said... its only banter... Podolski and Klose however....... Germans always stealing Poles when they cant invade!!!!

A different kind of pasty
Not sure it was deliberate. Looked to be going for a flying headed clearance but mis-judged the flight of the ball

But...
Unless they've changed the rules, when teams finish level on points, the first separator is not goal difference, it's the result between the two teams.
In which case, Serbia would finish higher.

Only saw the second half...how did the Germans lose? Serbia were f***ing rubbish, even with the extra man.

He has been brilliant in this game - calling ref a clown was great.
One of the few good things about BBC's coverage.
Also called one of the Serbian players a "TART" when he rolled over for a free kick

Didn't complain much about the booking and penalty though did he. Think he was probably just glad not to have seen red with this ref.

What happens if the Germans beat Ghana and Serbia beat the aussies? They'd have all beaten one of the other two and lost to the other. Would it be goal difference between the three teams?

It's goal difference. http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/fifa_wc_south_africa_2010_regulations_en_14123.pdf

I've just looked it up. It looks like (according to the Telegraph) they HAVE reverted to goal difference being the first decider.
But in that scenario, (the one that operated before) goal difference would have been the next decider.
1.greatest number of points in all group matches;
2.goal difference in all group matches;
3.greatest number of goals scored in all group matches;
4.greatest number of points in matches between tied teams;
5.goal difference in matches between tied teams;
6.greatest number of goals scored in matches between tied teams;
7.drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.

the aussies would end up with f*** all which is by far the most important stat in my book.
i think you will find it's GD first though...

Yes, but if Ghana beat the Aussies and lose to the Germans then it will be 3 teams on 6 points. I think (not sure) that in this case it will be down to the results between the 3 teams, ie goals scored/conceded against Oz will be discounted. If it's still equal, ie if Germany beat Ghana 1-0, then it will go to overall goal difference and the goals against Oz would be counted.
I stand to be corrected, but this is how they do it in the Champions League group stages.
