Russia playing with fire if they are playing for the tie...

[AAABatteries]

England essentially through but Southgate doesn’t need to worry about anything but getting the side playing a lot better (assuming they can).  Draw or loss gives them group E runner up in round of 16.  A win and they get the reward of group F runner up.  Oof.

Actually, with Ukraine losing, I think that means all the teams on 4 pts. have advanced, right?  Ukraine will be 3rd with 3 points and the loser of Spain/Slovakia or Spain with a draw will only have 3 pts. or less.

So, unless I'm wrong, that means France, Sweden, England, Czech Republic and whoever is 3rd in Group B have all advanced to the round of 16.

 

[AAABatteries]

Wait, that's not right either - Poland could get to 4 pts.  I was thinking they could max at 3.  So ignore that last post.

no there can still be 5 3rd place teams with 4 or more points

[AAABatteries]

Just when I didn't think I could hate Russia more - I hope Denmark scores 10.

B :Russia and Finland both tie

D : Croatia or Scotland win their game

E : Poland wins

F: Portugal gets at least a draw

A : Swiss already have 4

What did I miss?

 

[AAABatteries]

What did I miss?

They are wasting time so egregiously the Honduras team has called an emergency team meeting to yell at their players.

 

[Desert_Power]

I'm sure Denmark misses Christian Eriksen all sorts of ways, Taylor.

 

[QuizGuy66]

YESSSSSSSSSSS DANES!!!!!

[AAABatteries]

YES!

Up yours Ruskies!

won't be wasting time now

[AAABatteries]

I hope the ref gives no extra time after the 45.

 

[Mjolnirs]

No idea if this will paste well but it’s how they will place the 3rd place teams.

Ranking of 3rds at the moment (group B games still ongoing at the moment)

A - SUI 4 pts

C - UKR -1 and 4 goals scored

B - DEN -1 and 2 goals scored

[CletiusMaximus]

From the looks of things, Eden Hazard may get subbed at half.  Another terrible story of a great career cut short by injuries.

 

[AAABatteries]

2nd half - Hoping for 1-0 Belgium win (to ensure Denmark advance) and Denmark to score 9 more with 8 Russian red cards.

 

[AAABatteries]

@QuizGuy66 - reading the tiebreakers, it appears that if this game remains 1-0 and Belgium wins 1-0 that Denmark would get 2nd - am I reading it right?  I think all the tiebreakers would even out and then group GD would eliminate Russia and then Denmark would get it on Goals scored.  Is that right or once a team is eliminated in a 3-way tie does it go to H2H for the other 2? 

 

[AAABatteries]

Спасибо

 

[AAABatteries]

Let's go Belgium!

 

[The Gator]

I want this Count Doku in Liverpool red asap

 

[Kafka]

Wait, that's not right either - Poland could get to 4 pts.  I was thinking they could max at 3.  So ignore that last post.   

We usually do.

 

[AAABatteries]

How the f is that not a yellow?

 

[Desert_Power]

These guys are going to have to be careful about drinking tea in Russia for a while.

 

[AAABatteries]

Lukaku!

 

[Moe.]

Keep pouring it on Belgium 

 

[B Maverick]

Lukaku!

Belgium for Morata, which is spanish for Offside?

 

[AAABatteries]

Keep pouring it on Belgium 

What??  They called that off - that's crap

 

[Moe.]

I must have missed a replay because I thought Lukaku was on by a mile 

 

[B Maverick]

Just saw the lines and Lukaku's toes were off. 

 

[encaitar]

I must have missed a replay because I thought Lukaku was on by a mile 

He's off because he has size 12 feet instead of size 11.

 

[Moe.]

Just saw the lines and Lukaku's toes were off. 

Something the proposed changes (thicker lines or whatever) would have interpreted as on, right?

 

[AAABatteries]

I'll be honest - I don't really want to watch Finland vs. Wales.

[The Z Machine]

Where do things stand now for this group?  I can't keep track.

 

[AAABatteries]

I still don't understand why they are saying Denmark isn't in 2nd.  Can somebody explain it to me?

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;

Belgium

Denmark

Russia

Doubtful the lines will be thick enough.  I saw somewhere (might have posted earlier about it) that FIFA was studying whether to change it from 1 goal scoring part in front is off to 1 goal scoring part behind is on.  I am all for that change.

 

[The Z Machine]

DANES DANES DANES

 

[AAABatteries]

OH MY!!!!

Who is they?

UEFA site has it as I listed above - real-time table.

This stadium is what half the generic FIFA ones look like.

they're second on fotmob.

you guys get too worried about this imo lol 

 

[B Maverick]

Russia's PK was a poor call.  Nice of Belgium to score, then Denmark to score.

I'm not.  That's the equivalent of making the line like four feet thick.

 

[AAABatteries]

The ESPN announcers.  Having said that out loud I realize my mistake.

 

[B Maverick]

GOAL!!!!!!

Denmark make it 4

Goes back to the even is on mantra I grew up with.
