I have a question. German media is reporting, that in case of a three way tie with Germany, Austria and Hungary, Austria will advance to the semis. Is that really true?

 

I thought Germany would advance. Both Germany and Austria won against Hungary, and their duel was a draw. But Germany beat Hungary with a higher margin. Did I make a mistake somewhere?

The first tiebreaker causes Hungary to drop out as both Germany & Austria won (and tied each other). The tiebreaker is performed again just between Germany & Austria.

 

Not sure why Austria will automatically advance. The breaker will be through the overall goal difference which Germany currently holds the advantage and could still advance with narrow wins/losses.

No

 

they will create a table only considering results between those 3 teams and Germany will finish higher than Austria since they beat Hungary by a bigger margin

Huge respect to the team!

Portugal lost the lead at the end...

 

Huge opportunity for Slovenia to secure a spot at the OQT against a Denmark with nothing to play.

 

Portugal now needs to rely on other results if they want to reach the OQT. They need one of:

1. Slovenia lose or draw against Denmark
2. Iceland defeats Austria
3. Sweden/Hungary/Germany to win the European Quota and Egypt to win the African Quota

28-25

 

Slovenia finished 3rd in the group and reached the OQT!

So if  wins or draws against  they will provisionally get the second OQT spot, if they get the European quota then the second OQT spot goes to .

 

 needs to defeat  by 15 goals and  needs to lose to  for them to provisionally get the second OQT spot, if not then it will go to .

 

As mentioned before  can still qualify to the OQT as a World Team so two of  can still qualify.
