  • I believe it would be decided by the tossing of coins, or the drawing of lots.
  • It would be decided by some sort of random process, such as a series of coin tosses. In the 1990 World Cup there was a case where Republic of Ireland and the Netherlands finished with identical records in their group thanks to drawing all three games, and the decision of which team was given 2nd place in the group and which was given 3rd was decided by a coin toss. Fortunately since some teams qualified for the next stage as "best 3rd place finishers", this did not result in one of the teams actually being eliminated by this method!
