Day 13 | Slovakia vs Romania + Ukraine vs Belgium | Czech Republic vs Turkey + Georgia vs Portugal

[RobinLFC]

6pm (5pm Uk) kickoffs:
Slovakia vs Romania
Ukraine vs Belgium

9pm (8pm UK) kickoffs
Czech Republic vs Turkey
Georgia vs Portugal

Still lots to be decided in terms of 3th placed teams seedings today. Czech Republic and Georgia both need a win in order to qualify, I believe Turkey is through if it doesn't lose with more than one goal (and Georgia doesn't beat Portugal). Portugal is already group winner and could field a B-team.

God knows what's gonna happen in Group E, anything is still possible there.

If Slovakia and Romania draw they're both guaranteed to go through I think?

Can someone explain me which 3rd place team is facing which team in the KO stage? I understand the best 4 from 6 system but I don't understand how it's determined which is playing England for example.

From what I understand we play you next round unless Turkey and Georgia both win, than NL plays the winner of group E. Probably Belgium.

Edit: you are German and with you I meant England.

Here you go:

3rd placed from E will be 95% qualified (alongside 3rd placed teams from C-D: Slovenia and Netherlands already in while B: Croatia is alreadyout). The last spot will be a battle between Hungary from group A and Czechia/Georgia from group F so the 2 combinations possibile now that remains are A-C-D-E or C-D-E-F.

- If Georgia and Czechia both fail to win FOR EXAMPLE then Hungary (A) qualify to the Ro16 and so based on that table (A-C-D-E) England (WC) would face Netherlands (3D)

- If Czechia beat 1-0/2-0 Turkey then Hungary would be eliminated so , based on that table (C-D-E-F) England would face 3E so one of Ukraine- Slovakia-Belgium-Romania.

- If Georgia beat Portugal C-D-E-F situation would happen regardless of Turkey v Czechia

TL-DR: Forza Czechia and Georgia.. Hungary must be knocked out to avoid Netherlands vs England

I believe so yeah, even if Ukraine vs Belgium also ends in a draw they'd both still have a better GD than Ukraine and would have more points than Hungary and Croatia.

 

[VorZakone]

Anyone know a good site to check which players are injured or suspended for the KO games?

Which games are the most compelling out of each time?

 

[Red Star One]

Which games are the most compelling out of each time?

Belgium will be red hot to seal the first spot and a super easy bracket, whereas Slovakia and Romania should be relatively happy with a draw, so for the 6pm kick off there’s no discussion

9pm is a fun one and I might watch Czech vs Turkey as this is the last chance for the Czechs and the Turks will still give their all considering they’re not safe yet.

Belgium vs Ukraine & Czechia vs Turkey in my opinion.

[calodo2003]

Those Belgian kits are rather nice.

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

In my head Roberto Martinez coaches Portugal and Belgium

 

[Helder-Carvalho]

Something's is wrong when 2nd spot in group F is much more rewarding than winning the group

 

[DJ_21]

How many goals will Lukaku get disallowed this game?

 

[kouroux]

That was Man City KDB

 

[Pronewbie]

Looking at Lukaku, I regret betting on Belgium.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Poor finish from Lukaku

 

[Offside]

Lukaku should’ve done better there

 

[Irwin99]

Is there any scenario where Belgium could play England in the next round or face them on that side of the draw? That could be a good game if it happened.

I think the earliest we can play Belgium is the semi final.

 

[Gazautd18]

Giving me Man City vibes tbf.

 

[calodo2003]

What a feeble attempt that was from Lukaku.

 

[calodo2003]

Giving me Man City vibes tbf.

I hear you, but they are more classy to me than the Puma kits City wear.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

They absolutely are.

 

[Bole Top]

Lukaku scored 85 goals for Belgium. damn.

 

[Markolan]

Yes if they finish 3rd they might face England in the next round.. England will face either Netherlands or 3rd placed team in group E next.

 

[Insanity]

Verthongen is still alive. WTF!

 

[moses]

Yeah, who doesn't love brown football shorts?

 

[Irwin99]

3rd probably unlikely for this Belgium team. Could be a tricky team for someone to face, even if they're not as good as they were 3 or 4 years ago.

 

[calodo2003]

Anyone else not seeing the page buttons?

 

[calodo2003]

Yeah, who doesn't love brown shorts?

Should have clarified the tops.

 

[moses]

Should have clarified the tops.

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

Cutting edge analysis from Martin Keown. "... at left back, he's a bit like Cucurella, in appearance". Well noticed, Martin. They both have curly hair.

 

[Rojofiam]

The Belgian kit is awesome

 

[moses]

The Belgian kit is awesome

They are wearing BROWN shorts.
