What's the tie-breaker if there is a 3-way tie? That could be important for the US. Unless the unthinkable happens and they don't turn this game around and follow it with a loss to South Africa, the US would be 2-1. IF Mexico then beat Canada, that would leave those 3 countries in a 3-way tie. It's academic if Canada beats Mexico too, but what if that doesn't happen? Anyone know?
So if the US, Mexico, and Canada tied I would assume tiebreaker 1 would be meaningless. So the US would be best served to not give up many runs the rest of this game even if they don't comeback.
