this is really hard thinking...i need a good method to deal with these kind of questions :mad:
 
Nah, not really hard thinking, just process of elimination. :wink: Start with team A. It has a record of 1-1-1, and goals-for/goals against (GF-GA) of 1-1. Since B won all three games, A must have lost to B. Since A's GF-GA is only 1-1, it must have lost to B by a score of 0-1. Continuing from here, you should be able to figure out who beat whom, and by what scores.
