So if Mexico loses by 1, then their goal difference would be +1. France would need to win by FOUR to get to +2, because if they get to +1, Mexico has the head to head tiebreaker.
Ya I think you are right, I was off by a goal

the tiebreakers go in this order

Quote:
a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
b) goal difference in all group matches;
c) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.
If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings will be determined as follows:
d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;
g) drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.
