So if I'm getting this correctly, if Poland score another and Germany don't, the tie-breaking criteria that applies is "Fair play conduct (1 point for a single yellow card, 3 points for a red card as a consequence of two yellow cards, 3 points for a direct red card)".

There is some sort of Anti-goalscoring curse on this tournament.

GS
21-06-2016, 05:59 PM
It's the format. Slovakia had four points last night, so there was zero incentive for them to push it against the English. It's harder not to go through from the group stage, which leads to shit football because nobody has to "throw the kitchen sink" etc.

Mazuuurk
21-06-2016, 06:16 PM
It's that for sure. But even so, there seems to have also been an extraordinary amount of really bad misses as well. Is the ball very light or something?

Don't think I've ever experienced a tournament with so much random shite going on both on the pitch / stadiums and on the side. Terror threats, about every football firm / gang from Europe about just to cause trouble, people slipping in every single game, threats of storming the pitch, crackers or what they are called thrown on the pitch, match paused because of hailstorm or something...

Basically anything and everything except actual good football.

Looking at the groups, I'd say Northern Ireland are safe. Sweden and the Irish probably aren't winning their games and they've got a better GD than Albania and, even if they did, Turkey's GD is worse than theirs.

Emre Mor is fucking good. We are unimpressive but the Czech's look very vulnerable on the break, there will be more goals in this and maybe if Turkey score before the Czech's we might get a few more. Or we could lose 3-1. The unreliable volatility of the team is so sickeningly Turkish.

I think Croatia and Spain sneaky might be the best teams in the tournament, because Turkey is now looking exactly like the meh Tier 2b team (who's so far gotten a bit lucky against a Tier 2a team) I imagined we would be at the start of the tournament. In hindsight this group draw was absolutely merciless.

Anyways we've got a shot now, I can't be bothered to do the math but we're ahead of Albania at least, we just need to have a better goal difference / more points than one of the remaining two. That seems feasible.

Ireland and Sweden need to fail to win, or Sweden needs to beat Beligum by 3+ and Ireland need to fail to win, and/or Portugual needs to lose and Austria needs to fail to win.

It's possible, but unlikely. Turkey needed at least two more goals in this game.

Again, the Austria game is irrelevant to you.

If you don't qualify as a result of group E (and you will, no way Ireland or Sweden win) then you need Portugal to lose. That would leave the group as:
Hungary- 7
Iceland- 2
Portugal- 2
Austria- 1

From that position there's no result in Austria/Iceland that eliminates you. An Austria win sees Iceland/Portugal come 3rd with 2 points. A draw sees Austria/Portugal 3rd with 2 points. An Iceland win sees Portugal 3rd with 2 points.

You're right.

So a Portugual loss and/or a 3+ goal Swedish victory and an Irish tie/loss, or a Swedish tie/loss and an Irish tie/loss.

That bracket is utterly brutal. If Italy throw the game against Ireland they could finish 2nd and sneak onto the easy side, couldn't they? Otherwise we're guaranteed a final with a Belgium or sub-Belgium team (which isn't necessarily terrible, just a bit different).

Italy Vs Spain. :drool:

Croatia are bloody brilliant lads. That was the first game I was at live and it Probably won't be beaten.

The stadium at Bordeaux is absolutely magic too - very modern and clean.

Oh, and with that last minute Croatia goal the round of 16 game in Paris, which I'm going to, just got even sweeter. Was expecting Italy v Croatia, but Italy v Spain is just :cool:

Juanfran doesn't fit the Spain national team mold. Every time he pushed forward he seemed to fluff his cross or shank a shot.

What a game.

Also, de Gea threw that Croatian winner in. I know there was a deflection but from that angle, where else was he expecting it to go?

On the other hand, how far off his line was the Croatian keeper on the penaty? Either they scrap that rule or start enforcing it properly, he was taking the piss there.

22-06-2016, 09:42 AM
I'm guessing that's the problem, that he's not looking at the ball being struck (maybe). Well, I mean, that's not the real problem, but yeah.

I was actually surprised Ramos wasn't protesting more about that. But then again his penalty was so shit, it would have probably been saved either way, so maybe it didn't matter.

De Gea is quite frequently a bit shonky on his near post. Didn't Coutinho score one against him in a similar(ish) way last season?

Kikó

He does seem to have a bit of a weakness there like you said. Seems to want to lead with his legs rather than properly cover the post.
