You are right, but the statistic says as long Trap is coach of Ireland Italy never beat Ireland.....

So, the hope dies at last but nobody knows what Croatia and Spain will do.

I hope for a fair game like yesterday. Germany was better but if Denmark has scored and not Bender then they are sitting now in the Airplane.....

Tonight will be the day of truth for italian team

Shame the lightning didnt strike nasri while the anthem was going on - shows how much i hate nasri hahaha

lets hope the england game isnt suspended

Hi alexxxi

You're wrong man, Samir Nasri is probably the most solid player in the french team, he never fails in giving the ball and he saved us very often in scoring (against England, in qualifications...ect...)
Nasri is indispensable to the french team, he's a great football player and he will prove it again in the future...probably in this competition (Euro 2012)...trust me
In plus, he's a restless fighter, he never gives up Personally, i'm fan

Have a nice day

Great game from Portugal. Ronaldo haters can't say much today. I hope that they will keep up getting better and better in next games

Holland lost and that´s alright for me.
I´m pissed of,the whole game was bad playing of them.
They have such good players,but nothing works.
My heart is bleeding.

Now I must drink my pain away,and from now I go

If Italy win 3-0 against Ireland then they will also have 5 points with 5 goals for but only 2 against, giving them a goal difference of +3.

Even if the Spain - Croatia match finished 10-10 Croatia would still only have a +2 goal difference. So as long as Italy win by 3 clear goals, they would go through.

Of course that's only if Spain - Croatia draw. If Spain or Croatia wins, then Italy only have to win.

No, it doesn't work that way, alas, since goal difference is NOT the first factor to consider: the first one is what is called "classifica avulsa" (I don't know the term or expression in English) the table composed solely by the games played by the teams which finish with the same points; so, even if Italy won 10-0, if Spain and Croatia tie 2-2, Spain and Croatia will qualify...

Yep, I realise that now, after it was explained on TV after yesterdays matches. If two teams are on the same points, then it's their head to head record that is checked first. Only if they drew against each other is the goal difference considered.

I totally forgot they were using the same rules as the world cup.

When you look at yesterday matches, i don´t like the new rule because Russia has more goals as greece but must go home while they lost against the Greeks. Is this rule better as the last? I don´t think so, but i am not Platini or Beckenbauer....

I think these rules are fair enough.

Because Greece won 1 Vs. 1 against Russia.
And that´s what counts in a football match, doesn´t it.
Russia must blame themselves,because they had enough chances.

It´s a pitty, but that´s how it´s goes.

                Remember the famous Sweden-Denmark game?Bookmakers do not take bets. Before the game everyone knew,that the account will be 2:2.

This would be the proper punishment for football betting

How was it possible that they loose against Greece.
All credits to greece but fortune was on their side.

"Who scores is right"
Shots on target and ball possession are just a collection of statistics...

No ifs,no buts ,they had to win this game.
But your right,if you don´t score you just can´t win.
So simple can football be.
