Winning the world cup without scoring a goal 11:51 - Jun 25 with 726 viewswimborne_dale

It may have occured to some people that it is possible to win the world cup without scoring a goal in normal or extra time.

Group:

A 1:0 B
C 0:0 D

A 2:0 C
B 0:0 D

A 2:0 D
B 0:0 C

B go through to the second round with 2 points and a goal dif of -1.
In their last 16 game they park the bus for 120 mins and win the penalty shoot out.
Repeat in the next 3 rounds and they are World Champions.

I wonder what the repercussions would be for the rules of the game, particularly in regard to penalty shoot outs?

None, switzerland got through to the last 16 of the world cup on 0-0 draws (and only lost on penalties then), so its well known and no oine is doing anything about it.

I say do as they do in Noeth American sports play until somebody scores. The golden goal was scrapped because it meant the team conceding the golden goal had no opportunity to come back - but that was the idea of it - duh!
