Q&A: How to send GER home

When does Germany go to the quarter finals?
If Austria does not win.
What if Austria wins by a one goal margin and Poland wins by a two goal margin?
Then, the one who scored more goals goes up. I learnt with horror that if both are exactly equal, the FIFA ranking counts!!!

Dear Santa!

Provided that we beat Poland, I think the following holds:
If Germany wins, please do not make us lose against Germany.
If Croatia wins, please do not make us lose against Germany and give us a 2 goals margin vs Poland.
If they draw, I have an immodest wish: Make us beat Germany!
