Pretty much yeah, Russia need to beat argentina by a LOT and we need to get thumped by Lithuania by a LOT to not finish top 4. Could happen but bot likely to get 50/60pt blowouts in 10min international tournaments. (unless it's the old dream team ;-)

Was under the impression that if it goes to tie breaker it's head to head result and since they only play each other once it's quite simple Australia beat Russia. (even if it goes on points diff Australia has Russia beat at the moment so as long as it's not a MASSIVE blowout vs Lithuania we should still have the diff covered).

It will only get more complex if more than 2 teams finish on the same win/loss

ie
if Australia lose to Lithuania they will finish with 2wins 3 losses
if Russia defeat Argentina they will finish with 2wins 3 losses

Would need alot more unlikely games to cause more than a two way tie at 2wins 3 losses.
Such as
Argentina losing to Iran & Russia
Croatia losing to Lithuania & Iran
Iran defeating Argentina & Croatia

Or to make it all a whole lot easier Australia to carry momentum and defeat Lithuania ;-)
