北京時(shí)間6月27日凌晨,巴西世界杯G組最后一輪美國(guó)對(duì)陣德國(guó)。美國(guó)隊(duì)雖然以0:1惜敗,但仍憑借凈勝球的優(yōu)勢(shì)力壓葡萄牙,與德國(guó)隊(duì)攜手從小組出線。
Portugal won its match against Ghana, 2-1. That ensured that both the U.S. and Portugal finished second in Group G -- also known as the "Group of Death -- with 4 points apiece. Enter the tie-breaker -- goal differential. The Americans and Portugal both scored 4 goals at the tournament after three games, but Portugal had given up 7 to the USA's 4.
葡萄牙2比1贏了加納。這樣死亡之組G組中美國(guó)和葡萄牙各積4分并列第二?,F(xiàn)在就靠?jī)魟偾驍?shù)來(lái)打破平局了。美國(guó)和葡萄牙均有4個(gè)進(jìn)球,但是葡萄牙的失球數(shù)是7個(gè),而美國(guó)的失球數(shù)仍是4個(gè)。
所謂的“凈勝球數(shù)”(goal differential)就是一支球隊(duì)在一輪比賽中的進(jìn)球數(shù)(goals scored)減去失球數(shù)(goals allowed)。比如,美國(guó)的進(jìn)球數(shù)和失球數(shù)都是4,其凈勝球數(shù)就為0,而葡萄牙的進(jìn)球數(shù)是4,而失球數(shù)是7,凈勝球數(shù)則為-3,由此得出,美國(guó)隊(duì)排在葡萄牙隊(duì)之前。
如果第一輪比賽后,兩隊(duì)積分相同,凈勝球數(shù)也相同,那么就只能靠“抽簽”(draw lots)來(lái)決定哪一隊(duì)出線了。
