I just criticize the eurocentric prejudice that made everyone predict Macedonia when Tunisia has a lot of players based in european clubs and has produced great results in the past. Ok, i dont remember saying that and i dont agree. Macedonia isnt really a strong team and non-european teams like Argentina, Tunisia, Egypt or Qatar can beat them any time. In my opinion Hungary and Russia are stronger, but Macedonia qualified, so there is nothing really to argue about. Iceland is very "up and down", so its difficult to say if they wouldve done better than Macedonia here.

Oops, you are right if Spain beat Sweden by 2 goals, then both teams will have a GD of -1. let's say Spain beat Sweden X to X-2. then: SLO +2 GD SWE -1 GD / Goals 22+X ESP -1 GD / Goals 21+X SWE advances virtue of scoring more goals.

They are pretty good considering their size, but ... 1) They have no teams in water polo, rugby or football. 2) Spain or France are (much) stronger overall in team sports. no team in football are you serious !! they have been many times in the final / semi world cup /euro and these players legends : Vanbasten, koeman, Gulit ...Cruyff and in women's water polo they won the silver in the WC just look at the table of medals they are always one of the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netherlands also didnt qualify for european championships in football this year, they arent very strong anymore and you cant compare their current team to the team they had about 40 years ago. Its almost like saying that Hungary is very strong in football, with players like Puskas, Kocsis, Bozsik, Hidegkuti, Grosics, Czibor or Lorant.
