	Goal difference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In sports such as ice hockey and soccer, goal difference (that is, goals scored minus goals conceded) is often the first tiebreaker used to rank teams which finish a league competition with an equal number of points.
		Goal average is a different scheme that predated goal difference.
		Goal average is also used as the tiebreaker in Australian rules football where it is referred to as "percentage".

		To work further with the idea that goal intentions in combination with implementation intentions increase the rate of goal completion, study two evaluated whether the intended opportunities were acted on once encountered.
		The three groups differed in the aspect that the IIC knew from the start that they were going to receive feedback on the persuasiveness of their arguments, which they were to give verbally during the third video.
		Studies one and two concluded that, regardless of the goal content, when a goal intention is supplied with implementation intentions there is a higher rate of goal completion.

	Longo's field goal the difference for NBH: 10/ 25/ 2003
		Jeff Longo's 22-yard field goal with 8:10 left to play snapped a 7-7 tie and Steve Almeida stopped a Dartmouth drive with a quarterback sack with just over two minutes left as the Whalers held on to beat the Indians, 10-7, at Paul Walsh Field last night.
		One of his biggest appeared to come just three plays before Longo's winning field goal when he leaped high in the air, reached out with one hand and appeared to come down in bounds in the back of the end zone.
		Following Longo's tie-breaking field goal, Dartmouth took over at its own 35 with 8:11 to play and led by the running of Brendon Zexter and Kyle Audette eventually moved to a first down at the Whalers' 20 with just over four minutes left.

	Soccerpages Forum - goal difference instead of points?
		Quite frankly if any team loses 100 goals in their first 5 games and can only manage to muster up 1-0 victories against lower sides, whicst other teams are trouncing on the 5-0: then yeah utd should get relegated.
		Goals would mean a lot more then and a goal conceded when you are 4 goals up could be very costly and not just a consolation goal.
		Goals scored can only be used as a tie breaker or the system is easily abused in a money orientated cynical world.

		Goal setting is an intellectual process, while goal achievement uses a different part of our minds to reach our objectives.
		Another reason that people fail to reach their goals or to set meaningful goals is that they look at their current results, conditions or situations and allow them to dictate their future.
		Goal achievers are productive people who have decided what they want and made a decision to get it without violating the rights of others.

		An own goal by Portugal’s number 6, Fernando Meira, made the score 2:2 and, even though Alvaro Saborio’s 71st minute strike gave Costa Rica a 3:2 lead, when Morocco also went ahead in their game on 77 minutes, it was looking like the Ticos would be eliminated with an inferior goal difference.
