downendcity Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 How did the ref miss that? Blatant shirt tug - pretty sure it would have been given had it occurred at the other end of the pitch. Can't believe how France have come away with 7 points from 3 games where they have been pretty poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Idiot commentator in the Albania game. Romania player shoves an Albanian player over while they`re waiting for a throw in to be taken and rightly gets booked. Commentator can`t understand why a free kick isn`t given. BECAUSE THE BALL WASN`T IN PLAY YOU KNOB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coppello Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Right, any idea who we can now potentially play in the next round? People were saying Romania but I am assuming they've been replaced by Albania now. However, other people have mentioned NI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Albania win 1-0. Think that is going to be a decent one for the others who might end up third. In order of importance, three points, -2 Goal difference, one goal scored. Obviously need to beat two in third place, but for instance, if they finish third, Wales could lose by two, and NI by three and still be above Albania.

If England win the group they'll play third placed in group A (Albania) unless they AREN'T one of the four best third placed, in which case they will play third placed in group C (probably Northern Ireland) unless they ALSO aren't one of the four best. In that case, England will play group D's third place which is harder to predict but I reckon will be Czech Republic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, so there's quite a chance that we will play Albania or NI if their GD doesn't get hammered by Germany. I'd quite like to avoid the teams in Group D!

For instance, if the teams from groups A B C and D qualified, we can not play A as the others will not fit. It is complex as they also want to avoid the possibility of two teams from the same group playing before the semi finals. Best explanation, with a table for the possible outcomes, is shown here http://www.eurosport.com/football/euro-2016/2016/explained-3rd-place-teams-at-euro-2016-how-it-works-who-plays-whom-and-who-s-set-to-grab-a-spot_sto5651583/story.shtml The table, WA standing for winner group A. We hope to be WB! Also just to add there are many more options that see us play the third from A and D than C. I will be testing on this later!

Pretty much, although in some ways sadly NI looks unlikely, as there is only one outcome that leads to that. This all assumes we finish first of course to be relevant..or third!

Hope this one does not come back to bite us on the bum. Sturridge and Vardy in fairness no one is going to argue with. No Ali or Rooney however...surprised if I am honest with that many changes that Hart keeps his place. Slovakia is no 'gimme'. Hope he knows what he is doing.

North London Red Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Just got back to central Lyon after Albania v Romania - wasn't a bad game, and the Albanian fans created an excellent atmosphere. Pic below. Also just seen the supposed England team for tomorrow night. Six changes? I could understand two or three changes, but six? To me that looks a little disrespectful to the Slovakians, who are no mugs - we aren't guaranteed a last 16 spot yet and to me we should name our strongest possible 11 to try and win the group.

cityexile Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 The worry, and we have done this before, is that if it is tight we know a draw will get us through, but the other result dumps us down to second. No Rose or Walker, who had been good giving us width as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. I remember 2010 when a 2-0 win against Slovenia would have meant winning the group - Capello went defensive for the last 20 minutes as we held on to win 1-0 - then the USA scored in stoppage time against Algeria (as we were leaving the stadium in Port Elizabeth) to knock us off top spot. It also meant we played Germany in the last 16, instead of Ghana. And a mad scramble to get the last of the relatively few hotel rooms available in Bloemfontein....

Yes, if memory serves didn't the players and management team claim after that game that they'd rather finish second because it meant we'd play the last 16 game in the evening rather than in the afternoon heat? Never mind that we then played Brazil one round later in the afternoon heat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
