How do the Danes go through above Finland when they are both on 3 points?

Finland beat them 1-0 and I thought it was head to head before goal difference?

Danes go 3-1 as I type this!! Would be great for them to go through after the first game!

[Sir David Gray]

4-1 Denmark

[JXM73]

It goes to head to head first.

They're all on 3 points and Denmark have the best goal difference in the matches between the 3 teams.

[Pretty Boy]

Well that was a good few minutes for us.

I'm with you on this. It's how Russia were ahead of Finland despite Finland having better goal difference?

Edit - cheers SDG

[SQHib]

That’s what I thought too - but there is 3 teams on 3 point and they all beat each other so to speak

[Sir David Gray]

Thats what I thought too but the Danes are 2nd on the live tables as it stands.

Yes sorry I added to my post.

It's a 3 way tie so the first thing that's looked at is the results between the 3 teams. Denmark's goal difference is superior to both Russia and Finland's goal difference in the group matches between the 3 teams.

[andy1875]

It goes to head to head first.

They're all on 3 points and Denmark have the best goal difference in the matches between the 3 teams.

I didnt see your second part. Ta for clarifying.

The Danes are a right good side to watch.

Good on them after everything they have been through in this tourney!!

[Sir David Gray]

I'm with you on this. It's how Russia were ahead of Finland despite Finland having better goal difference?

Because when it's only 2 teams on the same points it's the head to head that counts first.

At the moment it's a 3 way tie on points.

[Potty78]

Thats what I thought too but the D2anes are 2nd on the live tables as it stands.

Must be because the other three have beat each other so then it goes to goal difference

[Glory Lurker]

Fancied Wales to beat either Russia or Finland, Denmark will be a lot tougher though. Didn’t think Wales would knock out Belgium in the last tournament so anything can happen, will be a good game in Amsterdam to kick off the knockouts.

[Sir David Gray]

:agree: It is.

Basically Belgium's results are wiped so it's;

Denmark - For: 4 Against: 2
Finland - For: 1 Against: 1
Russia - For: 2 Against: 4

[Brummie_Hibs]

It's now completely in our hands.

[Jim44]

Being a bit petty here, but English commentators can’t see past the EPL. Andreas Christensen scores a screamer for his country but, in the eyes of the English tosser, “Christensen of Chelsea scores ........”. Who the **** cares which club he plays for?

No Welsh fans allow in Amsterdam for the game the news reporting due to Holland being an amber country atm. Such a shame for them.

Yep. Couldn't resist it and I've picked up a ticket on a reselling site. It's a once in a lifetime game.

It had better be worth it :greengrin

[Sir David Gray]

Finland can still go though although they are -2 now

I think for Finland to go through I think they need two of the following to happen;

Hungary to beat Germany by 4 goals AND France to beat Portugal.

Sweden avoid defeat to Poland AND Slovakia beat Spain or Spain beat Slovakia at least 3-0.

Croatia and Scotland draw.

I think!

[MWHIBBIES]

Finland can afford for Spain to beat Slovakia, it would just need to be by at least 3 goals along with Sweden avoiding defeat to Poland.

[007]

Yes but before today's results Scotland could have
theoretically gone out on 4 points and a -1 goal difference if we were to beat Croatia 1-0. Winning will be hard enough let alone having to potentially win by more than 1 and not even knowing it beforehand.

Now we know that any win will definitely get us through, pretty useful to know that going into tomorrow's game.

Most of Europe aren’t going to be happy about that, based on our numbers. this could get nasty going forward, especially if England go deep into the competition and they’re made to play out of London to go to Budapest or Munich or somewhere. What will the Daily Mail say?

Like the athletes moving around they won't have to quarantine.

England want to get the World Cup in 2030 so they need to lay the red carpet down to those from UEFA.

1-0 Portugal. Ronaldo penalty.

I don't fancy any of the teams from the top half to win it, they all have deficiences, if I had to pick a team that I would like to win it I would pick Italy, for me they've played the best football and are well represented in all areas of the park, but it's quite open.

They were rotten, they had no idea on how to break the Hungarians down. They'll get more space to work in against England but they just don't have the fire power that England can call on and defensively the Germans are weak on their right flank. I'm just hoping the Germans manage to take the game to penalties :greengrin

Thoroughly enjoyed that this evening apart from the commentator who said England were at a disadvantage because the teams in that group had all had top games against top players. England meanwhile had played lesser teams and would not be match sharp.

It was the only negative from last night having to listen to the football panel experts of Shearer, Lampard and Ferdinand being chaired by Lineker, with Jenas providing the expert commentary. Switch over to BBC 2 and it was Danny Murphy. FFS, why can't they get some non-English people to do this job for the games that don't involve England, like Keane, either of the O'Neill's, the ex-Croat West Ham boss that I can't recall, Moyes etc. So many candidates, but instead we get these England greats ramming the England perspective down our throats constantly.

I'm a bit disappointed as in the 1st game of the tournament involving Italy and Turkey, I thought they did well not to mention England every other second. But now they revert to type again.

Yep the all English panel was a joke. Absolute echo chamber. A bit of a different perspective required. Also wonder why someone like Mark Hughes or someone Scottish are only on the panel when their team plays. England were not involved last night no need for wall to wall opinion.

[Smartie]

It’s a wide open competition, I think it’s really hard to call.

France look like they should have the best players but they’ve been fairly unconvincing in the past 2 games and I wonder if they have enough strong, positive characters for when the going gets tough.

Italy have been the most impressive so far but they’ve not played anyone of real note.

A few decent teams have deficiencies somewhere in their team that will probably stop them from winning (England, Netherlands, Portugal).

It’s actually been a cracking tournament already, Scottish disappointment aside, and it looks set to have a few twists and turns yet.

France have won titles in the past while being unconvincing in the group and even QF/SF stages.

They definitely had luck on their side last night.

I was watching the game with a French pal of mine, he was asking what had happened to Thierry Henry, he remembered the bbc used to use him as a pundit. They’ve had Évra and Emmanuel Petit in the past. Its much better when they bring in international pundits

Henry is part of the Belgian coaching staff.

Watching Copa America on BBC red button channel on Sky. Standard Definition was never this bad even back in the day was it?

Surely can’t be difficult in 2021 to give us a non blurry picture?

Watched the Uruguay Bolivia match last night on the same media as you, looked perfectly normal to me.

[The Baldmans Comb]

These are English TV channels so I have no problem whatsoever that they are packed with English supporting pundits as thats what every other the country in the world do so its all perfecly normal.

On the whole English pundits are very knowledgeable and on the whole fair and of course they can be biased when they let their emotions run away with themselves which is just to be expected.

I wouldn't be giving their TV channels any money but I admire their professional studio TV coverage.

[He's here!]

The Welsh national anthem is up there with the best in the world (it's a toss-up between God Save the Queen and Flower of Scotland for the worst in my view. Both dirges). Best heard in a packed national rugby stadium.

Not seen any of the Wales games so far. Can they reach the last eight?

Except they are not of course. Their coverage covers all parts of the uk and are meant to be unpartisan. Unfortunately you are right BBC see themselves as EBC.

Denmark showing Bale the way to goal, they need to get tighter.
That stadium looks sensational even from the top tiers.

If they were English channels there would be no argument, but they aren’t.

They’re better than us :greengrin

I’m very impressed with Connor Roberts, right back, plays in the championship with Swansea, looks a level above that.

[EI255]

Would like Wales to win. But I don't want to be subjected to Savage's crap.

Don’t know too much about Roberts, though so far, I’d agree with you on that. Wow! That could be costly yellow,,,,,, and that very special goal.

Baggio scored one like that in Itallia90

[whiskyhibby]

Should have been 0-2 there

[JohnMcM]

Starting look as though Denmark not only did their homework on Wales but also went to night school.

[HoboHarry]

Denmark have stepped up a gear since the goal....

[hibsbollah]

Dolberg is absolute quality

[HibbyAndy]

No danger that's a free kick on the goalkeeper

Can't VAR intervine when we see goalys getting to much protection ? Seems VAR covers every other area of the pitch

[Lago]

Dolberg is absolute quality
And the next game Scotland have is against Denmark, hope Steve Clarke is making notes because they look quality.

How would you remedy it though? Drop ball where the ball fell? Indirect fk? Very hard to do.

[JohnMcM]

It’s impressive how over the last twenty minutes or so how Denmark have mainly managed to get at least one more attacker than defender in the box when they attack.

[660]

It’s a shame Bale isn’t playing

[HibbyAndy]

Not really got a clue to be honest but we can't have goalkeepers with absolute no contact on them falling to the ground and winning free kicks

Was the most dangerous player on the pitch for the first 15 minutes.

Wales getting a chasing. They're no much better than Scotland. Bale and Ramsay aside they are very average.

Hope west England get humped out this evening

I don't think the people of Wales would recognise such a description.

Hahahaha

2-0 Denmark game over.

Should have been a foul further up the pitch but that defending is abysmal!

Netherlands/Czech Republic

[JohnMcM]

Denmark have done really well to stop the Bale/Ramsey interplay so far. When either one of them gets the ball, the Danes pretty much just double mark the other.

Not so much now, now the game is being stretched a bit.

[EdinMike]

Games gone a bit flat since the second goal, can’t see Wales doing much. Which means they’ll probably score in a minute or two !! 😅

[MWHIBBIES]

Will Bale pack it in after this? Can't see any clubs wanting to deal with his wage demands

[Onion]

Denmark are quality .

:agree:

And Wales minus Bale < Scotland

Heard on the grapevine he would love to play for Hibs at Easter Road with Leigh Griffiths and Billy Gilmour. :greengrin

Cornelius run was fantastic, with 4 defenders around him, cool as a cucumber

[Lancs Harp]

Not sure about that. England havent conceeded a goal yet and Demark have let 4 in. Whats that based on? :wink:

Played very well tonight though Denmark and Wales simply havent got the answers.

A possibility, perhaps a last pay day in China or the MLS if someone will stompt the cash up.
