    Belgium's brown shorts - yes or no?

    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 ?

    In theory it's possible for 4 groups to finish like Spain's group with teams finishing on 9,4,2 and 1 points, and for 2 of those 3rd placed teams qualifying for the last 16.

    Great start. Georgia have been entertaining in this tournament.

    VAR penalty check. Ref goes to the screen. "He's not been sent over there to watch Coronation Street". Good line - maybe just me

    Oh - and 2-0!

    Never a penalty

    And now likely England play Slovakia in the last 16. How f*cking lucky are they

    England were the last thing on my mind. And people on here go on about the commentators being obsessed!.....

    To be fair to myself, I only realised as I saw it on Twitter and Tyldesley's just mentioned it! I don't have the mental capacity to figure out the 3rd place permutations!

    Romania, Netherlands, Austria, Turkey, England, Slovakia, Switzerland & Italy in one half of the draw. Spain, Georgia, Germany, Denmark, Portugal, Slovenia, France and Belgium in the other! As it stands

    I've given up trying to work out the game to game permutations. I think the only confirmed R16 one is Switzerland v Italy, but I'm probably wrong.


    Sorry. Germany v Denmark and France v Belgium too

    Wins for Georgia and Turkey see them through.

    Czech are out and Hungary are out as well after finishing the 5th 3rd placed team.

    England now have another 3 games to find some form for the final

    Have to say England are incredibly lucky here.

    That looks incredibly lop sided.

    Huge chance for England now and they haven't got out of second gear yet.

    It could well be their year as they are playing poorly but getting the rub of the green.

    Italy will knock them out on penalties after the game finishing 0-0 after extra time

    Fair point, though Belgium were well on top and had 2 tight goals disallowed. Slovakia then followed that result up with defeat to Ukraine and a draw with Romania. I think its fair to say England are fortunate to go from a potential game against Netherlands to Slovakia whilst the real heavy hitters are all in the other side of the draw

    Dont think any team deserved to qualify from group C really, bit of a poor advert for football.

    Agreed, generally speaking the games have got more b9ring the longer the tournaments gone on - time for a change of format I’d say. How about a straight knock out involving thirty two teams with a simultaneous plate competition for those knocked out in the First Round?
