Not sure there's too much to get excited about there, but then again some of the best entertainment has come from some of the more unlikely matches.

The group kicking off at 5 currently has all 4 teams on 3 points so it should be interesting in that respect at least.

UEFA have officially confirmed that Denmark finished ahead of Slovenia in Group C because of a yellow card shown to Slovenia assistant coach Milivoje Novaković.

Denmark and Slovenia finished level on points, goal difference, goals scored and yellow cards shown to players.

Didn't appreciate that! It's the first one I'm watching down the pub, so I guess they'll show Belgium, with updates from the other one.

Same post from me as for the previous game: England have many excellent players but they are not even a good team.

I'd be mad if I were an England fan. With Wales, I think you accept we have a lot of players with deficiencies and results often go against us but England have no excuse on that front.

Someone on TV said last night that Germany alone have scored more goals than all the teams in Engerland's group put together!!!

Romania and Slovakia both go through if they draw. Be interesting to see how that plays out and if one team goes for the win.

Belgium needs to finish third and batter England, if they get them, they seem to be making the draw up as it goes along.

Have heard them say they may play third placed in this group or Holland or could be another team?

7 goals in 6 matches in England's group. 5 drawn games and 1 win (Bellinghams goal v Serbia).

Germany have scored 8 goals.

The more I think about the 24 team format the dafter it seems.
Firstly, the group stage consists of 36 matches. All that does is eliminate 8 teams from the competition.
Secondly, there is the distinct possibility of someone finishing bottom of a group on 4 points with them being eliminated. At the same time a team finishing 3rd in their group on 3 points will go through to the last 16.

Is it even possible to finish 4th on 4 points in a group only containing 4 teams ?
