NYBadshah1 Posted June 19, 2005 Author Share Posted June 19, 2005 Mexico had a second half goal to beat Brazil 1-0, and Japan did the same to beat Greece 1-0. Mexico, having beat both Japan and Brazil, is Group B's #1 team. The winner of Japan-Brazil will be the other semifinalist from the group. If there is a draw, then Brazil goes through.
