Yep, in last year's final rankings - France are placed above Norway despite having a worse record. This is because they finished 6th in their group, and Norway 7th in the other group.

I think you have this wrong. First tie breaker is position in group - so 7th will always be ranked higher than 8th. A single win against Austria may well be enough. iihf.com/en/events/2024/wm/t…

Don't often tweet anymore, but meeting Arthur Pendragon and Hershel Greene at the same time? Amazing! @BradleyJames
