And they will play winners of other groups.
So, you know, they're quite a tough matches they're going to have when they do go through.
The point is that it could be in the best interest of both Austria and Algeria to lose in that case and just become a high place, third place team.
There have been lots of situations before where oddities come up about tactical play.
But the thing that FIFA did after that Germany-Austria game back in 82 is they said that the last game in each heat, those games are going to be played simultaneously.
So you don't really know necessarily what your rank is going to be in the group because something is going on simultaneous to the game you're playing.
It's a little bit more complicated where you've got a third place team coming in.
It's harder to make it tense right to the end of the group.
I think that's really what's going on here.
Yeah.
Ironically, Algeria was the team that was eliminated because of Germany and Austria signing a non-aggression pact in 1982.
And it's always rankled in Algeria.
So personally, I think they're going to be playing to win, even if it means facing Spain.
But I've been checking all the rules.
And as far as I can see, there's nothing in the FIFA disciplinary code that teams have to try to win.
If they unlawfully try to fix the match, then obviously that's against the rules.
But there's nothing in the actual disciplinary code.
But there is a fair play code that
that says they're supposed to play to win until the final whistle.
Now we know.
