poland was the favourite to win right?
u sure?As things stand Czech Republic and Greece progress, Russia and Poland out.
after the first match, they start to doze off.after russia's first game performance...this is quite a surprise
after russia's first game performance...this is quite a surprise
u sure?
Except for Greece the leopard whose spots has never change since 2004, we have witnessed ugly football by teams to escape elimination but the bigger disappointment is that Russia flopped at this stage. So take this expensive lesson from today's games.
oh ic, understood.Greece progress in virtue of beating Russia.
teams in Group B & C better wake up.So take this expensive lesson from today's games.
not only on that, don't seems to have sense of urgency too.The Russians were too stubborn. Die die must attack through the middle where spaces are no more than millimetres.
what happen Ukraine and England draw and France lost? England and Ukraine or England and France?
France is through even if they lose the last game.
Ukraine must beat England to progress,
So if Ukraine beat England, England is out even if France
lose to Sweden by 1 goal.
England and France 4 points
England goal average is even if they lose by 1 goal, more will be worse.
If France lose by 1 goal they are still plus 1 goal.
in this case goals average take into consideration because Eng and Fra
head to head is even i.e. 1-1, wherereas Rus and Gre, head to head
Gre beat Rus, Gre progress even though Rus have better goals average.
In a nutshell, if both England and France lose their respective matches, the team which has the superior goal difference between the pair will qualify.
England is also out if France win against Sweden.
Any other result (draw or win) will mean both teams will qualify.
Except for Greece the leopard whose spots has never change since 2004, we have witnessed ugly football by teams to escape elimination but the bigger disappointment is that Russia flopped at this stage. So take this expensive lesson from today's games.
Russia, Ireland and Sweden can watch the Euro at home.
Next could be Netherlands and Italy.
