Curious case of I-league 2

Image source Goal.com : Action between Viva Kerala and Malabar United (Mangopeel)
With I league 2008-09 going down the wire and Churchill being champs on last day, Indian football saw one of the best ever seasons in football history of the nation.

The second division is nothing short of excitement.. and With Viva kerala in it, People from south has lot to look forward.




Here is the scenario so far before the fnal round of matches where

Shillong Lajong Plays Salgoancar SC
Viva Kerala plays ONGC FC
Pune FC plays Sesa FC

Pts GP Wins Draws Losses Wins Draws Losses Wins Draws Losses GS GA
Shillong Lajong FC 9 4 3 0 1 2 0 0 1 0 1 7 3
Salgaocar Sports Club 7 4 2 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 5 3
ONGC 7 4 2 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 3 1
Viva Kerala 6 4 2 0 2 2 0 0 0 0 2 7 6
Pune FC 6 4 2 0 2 2 0 0 0 0 2 4 6
Sesa Football Academy 0 4 0 0 4 0 0 2 0 0 2 2 9

=========================

Considering Sesa is already out and We suppose Pune FC wins


if Salgoncar lose

Viva win .. Salgocar Out
viva lose ... Viva out
draw : Salgocar out

If Salgocar Draw Lajong

Viva win : Salgocar out
Viva lose: Viva out
Draw : Viva out


If Salgocar win

viva win Viva thru ONGC Out
Viva lose Viva out

====================================

but if Sesa wins everything changes !!!!
If Sesa wins : Pune FC is out with Sesa .. no questions..

IF its a draw there it will get more complicated !
Viva goes out if they cant get a point from the other match.

If Viva manages to get a point Pune FC cant get thru even with a draw coz of their goal difference

For VIVA and PuneFC both needs a win


For ONGC haters ... only case of ONGC going out is
Viva win , Salgocar win and PuneFC win

so only 2 cases of Goal difference coming into play is :


if salgoacar loses by 4 goals even if
and Viva ONGC is draw
Pune FC plays draw with Sesa
salgoancar will be out with goal difference
if its less sthan 4, Pune FC will be out


Viva draw ONGC and
Salgocar lose,
with Pune FC win ..
salgoancar might be out by goal difference

in this case if salgoancar loses by 1 goal ... they wil be same points goal diff as viva and then i dont know which will be considered.. if Viva - salgoancar match is considered, then VIva might lose out ..

else if who scored more is considered, viva will go thru ..

If salgoancar loses by 2 goals ... they are out


i guess i have covered all cases now
:)


All the best Viva Kerala!!!
