ben-nufc Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Friend pointed out that Germany are typically poor in their second game at major tournaments so I doubt last night has much bearing. WC 2002: 1st) 8-0 v Saudi Arabia 2nd) 1-1 v ROI. Euro 2004: 1st) 1-1 v Dutch 2nd) 0-0 v Latvia. WC 2006: 1st) 4-2 v Costa Rica 2nd) 1-0 v Poland Euro 2008: 1st) 2-0 v Poland. 2nd) 1-2 v Croatia WC 2010: 1st) 4-0 v Australia 2nd) 0-1 v Serbia Euro 2012: 1st) 1-0 v Portugal 2nd) 2-1 v Dutch WC 2014: 1st) 4-0 v Portugal 2nd) 2-2 v Ghana Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Great result last night for Northern Ireland. As long as they don't lose by more than 4, they'll have a better record than Albania I think? Just leaves one team from the other 4 groups they'd need to top.

TheGuv Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Aye. Northern Ireland should be hoping for an England win tonight (of at least 2-0?), as it may well guarantee them a place in the last 16 if they shut up shop v Germany Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Can someone explain to me how Ukraine have already been knocked out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Can someone explain to me how Ukraine have already been knocked out? Because the only side left in the group that they can draw level on points with is Northern Ireland, who have the better H2H record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I believe the first tie-breaker is head to head between the two teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 For some reason I thought the table was decided on GD, and head to head only if everything is level. It should be imo, anything that encourages teams to attack is better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I know it's still a long shot but if Northern Ireland manage to get a point then surely 4 points would be enough to see them in the top four 3rd placed teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw takes them ahead of Slovakia and means they'll finish above Albania too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were saying on Talksport that a point guarantees them entry to the 16s...don't know if that's actually the case though The two other 3rd place teams so far are Albania & Solvakia. A N.I draw would give them 4 points. Albania have 3 points. Slovakia have 4, with 0 GD. N.I draw would have their GD at +1. Only two 3rd place teams don't qualify, and N.I would be above 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I would fine any defender who passes it back to the keeper under no pressure. NI were keeping the ball well there and the guy just lazily bottles it. Leads immediately to losing the ball and a counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read somewhere that a team with 4 points has never been eliminated in tournaments that had this best 3rd place teams going through bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
