ponsaelius Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) While I accept it's necessary to avoid another Gijon 82 - I really hate the games being at the same time. Edited June 21, 2021 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Although actually, in the case of this group, it really doesn't seem to be necessary to play them at the same time. Neither team can topple the Dutch and North Macedonia can't finish third. It's a straight shootout for second. Should be protocol to allow us to have Holland vs Pandev as a 2PM hors d'oeuvre. Surprising really that UEFA would give up the chance to squeeze extra TV revenue where they could. Edited June 21, 2021 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) I'm getting very confused - but I think it's H2H which decides it. GD was only used yesterday as Wales and Switzerland drew. Edited June 21, 2021 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Yup. So Dutch have already won the group, and fake Greeks are already out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) It does seem a bit wild - especially after Italy rested 8 players even though they could have been overhauled by Wales Perhaps they see continuity of the XI as more important than rotation.

ponsaelius Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Quote If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following tie-breaking criteria are applied:[1] Higher number of points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question; Superior goal difference resulting from the matches played between the teams in question; Higher number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question; If, after having applied criteria 1 to 3, teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 3 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams who are still level to determine their final rankings.[a] If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 5 to 10 apply; Superior goal difference in all group matches; Higher number of goals scored in all group matches; Higher number of wins in all group matches; Edited June 21, 2021 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to show the absolutely hideous nature of their stand by players. The lads who've come in are the ones that have been coming on as sub anyway.
