Russia beat Finland, Therefore they finish above them. GD irrelevant in this case.

Finland beat Denmark ?

That's only half correct. GD takes preference.

It's a 3 way tie, so goals between the 3 teams (and goal difference) count. Finland now 3rd.

 

[Liquid Gold]

What's the tiebreaker? Trying to figure out how Finland are bottom.

They're not on BBC

I thought it was standard: points - GD - GS

I looked it up,it's points between the tied teams, then GD in the same.

Nope, only went above after Denmark's 4th goal.

Is that Wales v Denmark then , be a good game , Wales will have a go as usual , don't expect them to roll over

Yep. Finland can still go through here which is bizarre.

Although unlikely.

Does this mean we have now qualified as have 4 points. So even if we lose we get a 3rd place space

 

[Evo1883]

So we have

Wales v Denmark
Italy v Austria

Is that all the confirmed R16 games so far ?

 

[Philosoraptor]

England through to the last 16.

I believe so.

 

[Liquid Gold]

You're right I've just looked it up. That makes it even more mad. A team can qualify in third on -2 GD over a team in 4th with 0 goal difference if they just lost heavily to the team in first. That team can then qualify for the next round along with a team on -1GD in another group because they have better goal difference than the other teams in the third.

Madness.

Not mathematically I don’t think, but it’s massively likely that we’re already through

Should go back to the old format but never will sadly

 

[Nick]

We should have a bingo on how many Erikson puns and tedious links there are.

Sven?

 

[Liquid Gold]

Should either go to 32 teams and have the group stage as a secondary qualification system or go for groups of 6 or something if they want more teams. This is just stupid.

Denmark are the BBC darlings

You’d have loved the 1982 World Cup

 

[baldy]

Haha that beer park in Denmark - nobody really gives a shit about social distancing bollocks

 

[Evo1883]

Uruguay v Chile in the copa America on the bbc red button if you want more footy

 

[Nick]

Denmark are the BBC darlings

Gary Lineker tried to do a list. "all the things they been through"

Thought of the obvious one then the second was "bad results".

 

[Liquid Gold]

You’d have loved the 1982 World Cup

Managed to get eliminated without losing a game didn't we?

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

You’d have loved the 1982 World Cup

Having said that the second round was groups of 3 and produced the Brazil Italy best game I've ever seen

 

[Grendel]

Managed to get eliminated without losing a game didn't we?

italy lumbered through a group by drawing every game including Peru and Cameroon - we breezed through a group then drew against Spain and Germany and were eliminated - it was a bizarre format

This isn’t as bad as that as there are 16 teams in a knockout which is as it should be

 

[Nick]

Ferdinand just called Klinsmann houdini for predicting the first goal.

 

[David O'Day]

Not mathematically I don’t think, but it’s massively likely that we’re already through

2 groups have finished with 3rd placed team on 3 points

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Watching BBC 2 and if wast for Gabby's legs I wouldn't be

Thick chav

 

[Evo1883]

Thick chav

Great centre half though

 

[baldy]

Great centre half though

Still a thick chav

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Still a thick chav

Thick chav? Seems fairly well spoken to me

 

[mark82]

Don't get why Chilwell & Mount have to isolate for the close contact, no word of Steve Clarke having to isolate who did pretty much the same thing as Mount and Chilwell. It's really bizarre.
