Todays games

Group D

6/21 2:00 Iran Angola
6/21 2:00 Portugal Mexico

Portugal wins or ties they are 1, loose they are 2
Mexico wins they are 1, tie they are 2, and loose they are 2 unless Angola wins.
If Angola wins and Mexico looses they will both have 4 point, so the 2 seed is determed by goal differential (Mexico currently has a 3 goal lead), and then goals scored (Mexico has a 3 goal lead). If both those are equal they draw lots for 2.

Group C

6/21 7:00 Côte d'Ivoire Serbia & Montenegro
No Affect.

6/21 7:00 Netherlands Argentina
Winner is 1, Looser is 2. If tie Argentina is 1 and Netherlands 2.
