In that case (i.e. Greece=1A, Montenegro=2B), it will be most probably Croatia v. Montenegro in one of the semifinals, and Greece v. 3A/2B (might be Canada or Russia) in the other. Then either CRO or MNE will be in 3rd place game.

Of course it is possible that we lose to Montenegro, but I personally think that game could go either way. I do not think it is fair to expect that Montenegro will beat us. We usually beat them or draw with them in recent years.

Yes I do think too that all games between the Big 3 are open-ended esentially, results-wise.

PS. and you have a point that it is fair to assume that CRO will beat RUS, but GRE v. MNE can go either way.

Yea after today I would be shocked if Canada qualifies.

Well there goes Canada's (slim) chance at qualifying. It was always going to be a tough ask to defeat one of but anything could happen in a single match. Now we will have to defeat Croatia (the strongest of the three IMO) just to have two chances to defeat another stronger opponent.
