Japan are ahead of Senegal because of less yellow cards received in the tournament so far.

This is kinda stupid from Japan.

[Finnegan]

I swear this happens at least once in every world cup

[Chester Dontlie]

Yeah it's not looking pretty... but you have to say, fair play to Japan amirite

 

 

[peterborofox]

Wtf is Lawrenson going on about....'not right this goes to discipline record. It would be better on goals in qualification'

 

So you can compare two teams goals scored record in qualifying against a different number of teams and entirely different qualification process? 

 

Ridiculous

[KingKoala]

So you think there's no Japanese here huh

Well that would nearly always put South American sides at a disadvantage. Asians going through because they played the likes of Turkmenistan. There has to be a better way but not qualification based

[Chester Dontlie]

Well, Poland miraculously won a game and Shinji is still in the cup with Japan, I say citizens of Okazakhstan are happy

Yeah agreed that it's a stupid comment. 

 

Perhaps earliest goal in the game between the two sides? Or if 0-0 earliest goal overall? In the event that both teams have 3 0-0 draws then both get automatically kicked out of the comp for being boring.

How about on draws in group stages instantly goes to pen shoot out for a bonus point. That would make the likelihood of indentical stats a touch harder to come by.

FIFA are not going to change this they're big on their Fair Play stuff.
