The first round in group B, which also includes Bosnia and Herzegovina, is over.
“Dragons” drew with Canada (1:1), and later Switzerland and Qatar also played without a winner (1:1). This means that all four selections have a point with an identical goal difference.
However, despite this fact, Bosnia and Herzegovina takes the last place in the group, and there is an explanation for that, based on the criteria that determine the places in the table. So, everyone has the same number of points and goal difference with the same number of goals scored, and then follows the fair play rule which puts the dragons in last place at the moment.

Namely, Sergej Barbarez’s team received the most yellow cards (3) in the group in the first round, and according to that rule BiH is officially in last place at the moment.

There is no doubt that drama awaits us in this group until the referee’s final whistle. In the next round, Bosnia and Herzegovina will play against Switzerland (June 18), and host Canada will meet Qatar.
