It's based on which combination of groups the third placed teams come from.
I see that they’re split so there’s only two possible fixtures for each 3rd place team, but what needs to happen for them to move from one fixture to the other? I’m guessing Georgia moving above Slovenia moves them from one fixture to another. But not sure which way around.

Is there more kids at these games than usual? The crowd sounds like the ones you get at masters football or something

Why rest almost your whole first team, but not the 39-year old dude who they apparently still see as their most important player?

Georgia do play good football for a lesser nation but they don't half miss some sitters.

It basically depends on whether a third place team from this group is one of the four best third place finishers.

If they are, then Hungary are out.

This has shades of the Portugal-Czech game where Portugal’s amazing options off the bench will brute force through them eventually.

Apart from Spain and Germany, the big teams have been pretty shocking.
Not sure you can include Germany in the same bracket as Spain. They battered a shocking Scotland. Otherwise they've been pretty bad too. Spain and Austria - to a lesser degree - are the only teams that have lit up the competition.

This ref seems to be letting Georgia get away with a lot of obvious fouls here. I can't understand how Ronaldo didn't get a penalty or Palhinha didn't get a free kick when he got battered outside the box.

Portugal missing Bruno’s and Bernardo’s creativity
This match is precisely why I don't rate Felix. All the technical ability but his mentality is awful. Bar that shot, he's just strolling around like the prima Donna that he is. Might be one of the players I hate the most during my lifetime.
