None, FIFA rules were explicit, only 23 players for team, no more and no less, thats why teams like Spain, Argentina, Netherlands, Mexico and others had some problems because they didnt called all of their players and they had to keep some good players at home

Regulations:\n\nNew regulations approved by FIFA last month, went into effect on Thursday and dictate that an "official or spectator behaving in a discriminatory or contemptuous manner (that) can be attributed to a certain team" could cost the team three points for a first offense, six for a second and relegation for further violations. (1)\n\nRules:\n\nNo significant changes, as it would be the use of television to clarify some referees' doubts during the game.\n\nBut these are new: referees at the World Cup will eject players who elbow or tackle recklessly. \n\nA meeting of the governing body's International Football Association Board also approved yellow cards for shirt-pulling or holding an opponent, as well as for playing the ball after the referee's whistle.  (2)

No change.\nLike said earlier. In the last world cup, English referee Graham Poll, issued 3 yellow cards to one player before ejecting him. Along with him, the entire crew were sent home after wards, since his AR's and 4th official, who also is supposed to be keeping up with what is going on to back each other up, also missed the second yellow and Graham and the rest of the crew found out shortly after the match.

All of the people who answered before me are wrong in some respect...either not providing a complete answer or just being wrong.\nAccording to the FIFA World Cup Regulations manual, Article 31 states that:\n"The ranking of each team in each group will be determined as\nfollows:\na) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;\nb) goal difference in all group matches;\nc) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.\nIf two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria,their rankings will be determined as follows:\nd) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between\nthe teams concerned;\ne) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the\nteams concerned;\nf) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the\nteams concerned;\ng) drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World\nCup™."\nIf needbe check my source for confirmation, see page 40 - 41. \nPlease check resolved questions or search for your question prior to posting so as to avoid repeat questions.\n\nSource(s):\n\nhttp://eur.i1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/i/eu...\naka FIFA

The first round is the only round where there could be a tie, this is because the system of play will be the league system, each team playing one match against each of the other teams in the same group, with three points for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat.\nBut the round of sixteen, quarterfinals, semifinals, play-off for third place and final will all be played in accordance with the knock-out system. That means, that if after 90 minutes, a match ends in a draw, extra time of twice 15 minutes will be played. If the score is level after extra time, penalty kicks will be taken to determine the winner.\n\nUNTIE THE TIE OF THE FIRST ROUND:\nThe ranking of each team in each group will be determined as follows:\na) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;\nb) goal difference in all group matches;\nc) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.\nIf two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria,their rankings will be determined as follows:\nd) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;\ne) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;\nf) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;\ng) drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup

The average is probably around 12.\n\nThe least number of games required to qualify is 0 - the hosts and current champions (Germany and Brazil respectively) automatically qualify.\n\nEveryone else has to play a series of games, either on a league basis or knock out rounds. \n\nThe games every team has played in the qualifying stages can be viewed at http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/t/group/index.html\n\nTo win the World Cup once you have reached the finals, teams have to play 7 games in total. 3 in their group stage, and then 4 knock out games including the final.
