just the pools at the Mo Jill, ties are irrelevant at the mo as the four teams (four?) all play each other and the top two (i think) from each pool goes through to the next round, points are awarded for wins and a tie, nothing for a loss, if there's a tie with points it will go down to most goals scored, conceeded etc, known as the goal difference.
once in the knock out rounds, quarters, semi's etc, in the event of a tie they will play another 30mins -two 15min halves, not sure if it's a full 30 mins or 'golden goal' (do they still do that?) where the first to score is the winner. if at the end of the 30mins it's still draw (tie) then it will go to penalty shoot outs, we always do really well in these, especially against the Geermans!
my knowledge of football (soccer is an american term cos they stole the name 'football' for their armoured rugby - no offence!) is about 10yrs or more out of date so, i'm possibly wrong on the finer points!
