thepharoah 2,405 Posted June 25, 2024 #951 Share Posted June 25, 2024 BTW Denmark was tied with Slovenia even in yellow cards , so ranking before start of qualifications made it 2nd and Slovenia 3rd . I guess if Belgium doesn't top group E , Denmark will really regret being better in ranking than Slovenia , as Slovenia will get mush easier game Link to comment https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/15486-mens-football-uefa-european-championship-2024/page/96/#findComment-640302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roamingrover86 856 Posted June 25, 2024 #952 Share Posted June 25, 2024 Yes, apparently Denmark & Slovenia are separated by qualifying ranking.

Expand If Czech Republic doesn't beat Turkey or Georgia doesn't beat Portugal then England will play Netherlands in 1/8. If Czech Republic beats Turkey by less than three goals (which would eliminate Hungary) that sends the 3rd team from group E to play England (very likely it could be Slovakia) @hckošice So Czechs winning 1-0 or 2-0 eliminates Hungary but 3-0 most likely eliminates Turkey if at least one match in Group E ends in a draw.

Bring back 16 teams! Expand I can even accept 32 teams, anything to have a regular format where simply the top-X goes through to the knockout round Of course I'd prefer 16, no doubt, but 32 would be a lot better than 24 and this 3rd place nonsense. .

FireRun 192 Posted June 26, 2024 #956 Share Posted June 26, 2024 I read somewhere that we (Slovenia) hold the record for most matches played at the Euros without winning. Yesterday was our 6th match. We have 5 draws and 1 defeat. And yet we still somehow managed to qualify to the 2nd round. After the 2010 slap where we lost the chance of qualifying in the last seconds because USA scored, we feared it was going to be the same. Losing points against Serbs with that lucky goal hurt a lot. But finally some luck came our way. Let's see what we can do now. If Croatia has shown us anything is that you can just park the bus and play for penalties to progress. Also grande Kek! best coach on the planet.

Excluding Serbia & CIS due to Yugoslavia & Soviet Union/Russia connections the only teams winless in Euro finals except Slovenia are Latvia (3 games), North Macedonia (3 games) and Georgia (2 games) FireRun 1 Link to comment https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/15486-mens-football-uefa-european-championship-2024/page/96/#findComment-640370 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which in some cases wasn't too hard... And that's why you want players who either can keep their frustrations in check or use them as extra drive instead of just using it for dumb tackles .

Faramir 372 Posted June 26, 2024 #960 Share Posted June 26, 2024 But in this case being 3rd is better, the Slovenian coach should have told the 3rd keeper to go taunt the referee after the final whistle just to be safe. thepharoah 1 Link to comment https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/15486-mens-football-uefa-european-championship-2024/page/96/#findComment-640395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
