3 goalless draws, would be enough to get them 2nd place in a group with 2 poor teams who draw with each other and lose to the group winners (who themselves drew with SM). Thus paving the way for four consecutive 0-0 AET SM win on penalties results.
Looking further back, a similar methodology could be applied to the group stages, meaning a team could win the World Cup, from scratch without scoring a single goal. The dream of George Graham enthusiasts everywhere.
