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

Important goal for England.. As it stands it will be England vs Slovakia in the Ro16

How did this goal affect that?

Edit: nevermind, Slovenia are on 3 points and would be out, gotcha.
 
How are these third places games worked out? I can’t figure out if Slovenia will play Portugal or Romania, or whether that’s still up in the air.

It's based on which combination of groups the third placed teams come from.
 
I saw Ronaldo was playing and assumed they must be. But they've rotated everyone but him, bizarre.
Ronaldo and Diogo Costa are the only starters playing.
 
Chances of us drawing Romania as well as being on the easy half of the draw getting bigger.

Would be an hilariously "easy" draw for placing 3rd.
 
The commentator just said the same but why? Netherlands and Slovakia are both on 4 points, both Won 1, Lost 1 and drew 1 but Netherlands have scored more goals?
Look at the post #5 of this thread. I did post the table that UEFA use.

In case of the four best-placed teams are from group: C-D-E-F's (as it's now) then we have:

- WB (Spain) v 3F (Georgia)
- WC (England) v 3E (Slovakia)
- WE (Romania) v 3D (Netherlands)
- WF (Portugal) v 3C (Slovenia)

If England were legit... they wouldn't care one bit about who they were about to face, that's an inferiority problem when you are the so-called (pre-tournament, not now with easy draw) favourites. Totally got it in 2018... but with 3 top 10 Ballon d'Or players in there and we're still fishing for the easy route?

Ronaldo starting and being ultra desperate for that goal is hysterical though. I bet he regrets that assist now.
 
Renato Sanches, João Felix, António Silva, Benfica do love to overrate their players.

Though one weird thing about the Dutch is that they always seem to underperform against the "lesser" nations and perform equal to or better than some of the top nations.

What are you rambling on about?
 
What’s this permutation about the Czechs needing to beat Turkey so England avoid Netherlands?

It's important that Hungary (3 points -3 GD) get knocked out so England avoid Netherlands. Hungary are eliminated IF:
- Georgia beat Portugal, no matter what happens in the other match. (It's current case)

OR:

- Czechia beat Turkey by 1 or 2-goal margin, no matter what happens in the other match.

As things stand it's England v Slovakia and Netherlands v Romania..

I see, I missed that post, thanks.
 
130km/h freekick.

Wish they would show speeds more often.
 
Portugal moves the ball well. They are looking better than most teams that I have seen even today.
 
António Silva what a tragic performance. Gifts Georgia a goal and now prevents a Portugal goal.

I'd expect nothing less than Georgia pulling of a shock win here considering it benefits the world's luckiest man - Gareth Southgate.
 
The feck just happened? Just saw the red, was it a straight red?

e - nm, two yellows
