Fulham Broadway 17,315 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 So it could be auf wiedershen to the two World Cup finalists tonight if Romania win; CLEAR AS MUD - The Netherlands have won Group C and will play the Group D runners-up in the quarter-finals. Romania will qualify for the quarter-finals if they beat the Netherlands, eliminating France and Italy. If Romania fail to beat the Netherlands, the winner of France v Italy will go through. If France and Italy draw, a point against the Netherlands would be enough to send Romania through. France must win to have any chance of qualifying. If France and Italy share a score draw (1-1, 2-2, 3-3 etc), Italy will go through if Romania lose (by any score). In this scenario, Italy, Romania and France will be level on two points each but Italy would have scored more goals in games between the 3 teams. Romania will finish bottom of the group if they lose and France and Italy draw 2-2, 3-3 or 4-4. France will finish bottom if they draw 1-1 unless Romania lose 3-0 or by a four-goal margin. If France and Italy draw 0-0, Romania can lose by one goal, two goals or by a three-goal margin other than 3-0 but still qualify. In this scenario, Italy and Romania would have identical head-to-head records, but Romania would have better goal difference in ALL group matches or, in the case of the three-goal defeats, goals scored. France would finish bottom, having scored fewer goals head-to-head v Italy and Romania. If Romania lose 3-0 to the Dutch, Italy would qualify with a 0-0 draw against France because of their superior coefficient points. France would finish bottom as they would have scored fewer goals head-to-head v Italy and Romania. If Romania lose by four goals or more and the other game ends 0-0, Italy would proceed with a better overall goal difference than Romania. France would finish bottom as they would have scored fewer goals head-to-head v Italy and Romania. If France and Italy draw AND Romania avoid defeat, then Romania go through.

Kez 2,727 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 France and Romania out. Yet another win for Holland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSheva7 0 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Sweden are out in the hands of the Russians. They really impressed me today, Russia were so energetic and they out did Sweden in everything. We should really take a look at some of their young players! Some of these QF match ups are really interesting like Holland v. Russia, thats sure to be an entertaining game. And of course Portugal v. Germany will be a tough one too.

warnie_666 1,081 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Germans were just too powerful for the portuguese. Deco was invisible on the field. I dont think Scolari did enough to attack. From the begining I always said, its either Germans or Portugal. German efficiency will go on to win now that Portugal are out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EskWeston 696 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Germans were just too powerful for the portuguese. Deco was invisible on the field. I dont think Scolari did enough to attack. From the begining I always said, its either Germans or Portugal. German efficiency will go on to win now that Portugal are out. Was you watching the same game as me? Deco was probably the best player on the pitch, was very impressive. Attacking was never Portugals problem, their most obvious problem caught them out in the end and that is the lack of a top class striker..... Cracking game though.
