If two team are tied by points the first tiebreaker will be the goal differencial wich wil be for EXAMPLE: USA is tied up with Germany... they both have equal points in total ex: 4
USA srored 3 goals and took 1--> goal diferencial is +2 : 3-1=2
Germany scored 5 and took 4-->goal diferencial is +1 : 5-4= 1
Therefore Usa advances to next round.
