With USA losing to Italy 8-6 in the group stage, tie breaking rules are at play.

Only two of these three teams can advance. Italy and Mexico are set to play each other at 7pm ET tomorrow.

Winner advances.

If Mexico wins with 4 or less runs, they both advance. (Maybe as many as 5 in an extra innings situation).

Italy advancing by winning would give them a better seed than by losing.

This creates a situation where Mexico winning with a low score lets them both advance. Going for this intentionally would be cooperation. Going straight for the win is defecting.
