Annuminas- 5
Angband- 5
Valimar- 5

A three way tie!

And then the goal differentials-

Annuminas +1
Angband +2
Valimar +2

The orcs and dragons sent up a mighty cheer as their team would be advancing to the playoffs. The only question left- who had won the group? Valimar or Angband?
I think one way that has been used in this kind of a situation is the number of goals scored. So the team that has scored more goals is the team #1. If even that is even then you need to create something like a penalty shoot-out competition or just throw a coin (even that has been done in RL!).

I'll try to write the group G results before going to sleep - if I just stay awake...
