great chance for the Danish team to go to quarters ,i think everybody in this world was happy for them to qualify just for Eriksen and these fans 

 

I'm pretty sure Italians didn't forget the :DEN vs :SWE screwjob from Euro 2004 whatsoever :evil:

Because that game would only happen if :FIN qualifies from 3rd place and that's actually a very unlikely scenario.

 

:BEL will most likely play a 3rd place team from Group E - unless a team from that Group joins :FIN and doesn't qualify at all.

 

I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS 3RD BEST PLACED TEAMS SYSTEM WORK COULD U GIVE A SMALL BRIEF :d

I suppose you weren't around for the 1986-1994 World Cups when the same system was in place?

 

It all depends which four teams from which groups qualify.

 

If tomorrow there is a draw in :CRO vs :SCO then I'm gonna say 99% Groups B & D will be the ones to advance only two teams (unless Poland doesn't beat Sweden and Slovakia loses to Spain by three goals). Actually Poland beating Sweden is the biggest potential spoiler of my laid out plan.

 

If Groups B & D advance two teams then R16 matches COULD be: :BEL vs :SVK , :NED vs :POR, :ESP vs :UKR and :FRA vs :SUI (again, only most probable if Croatia vs Scotland ends in a draw).

 

The 3rd team options are listed here (those still possible in green).

No problem. It's kinda compliacted at first but not so much when you have the fixed pattern for all the scenarios. Croatia vs Scotland is the key game after which things will be much more clear. Ukraine, Finland and Slovakia must pray this game ends in a draw (which is not that impossible result).

 

Finland's path to qualify is quite improbable. They have to count on:

 

a) :CRO vs :SCO ending in a draw

AND

b) :POL not beating :SWE

AND

c) :ESP to beat :SVK by three goals

 

And if all those three things happen then you'll have :BEL vs :SUI in R16 and :FIN playing either :ESP or :SWE

Watched the match at a big screen event at the local stadium (6 screens for about 6.500 spectators). Almost felt as if we had won the tournament! What a match, what an atmosphere and what a feeling for our team!

Denmark was the surprise of 1992 and Greece of 2004 EURO!!

There are significant restrictions for Danish people yet? I thought all that inside Schengen wasn't so strict anymore :p 

I believe Danes have to quarantine for 10 days. That's at least what others are saying.

    • This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints. 
    • Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains. 
    • When did Kim Min-Seok switch to Hungary?
    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
