Any Georgia win puts Georgia on 4 pts.
Then any outcome Czechia v Turkey puts at least one of them on 4pts+.
That puts Hungary out.
Hungary out = we play Slovakia.
50 mins to hold on! 😬
Just did the same with a free bet. I've really liked watching them so far.
Although I bet on them to beat Portugal - couldn't get odds on their next game with Poland... :wink:
Yes - but - Czechia not to win by 3 or more.
Next round is a piece of piss, I'm quite looking forward to enjoying the football without twisting my brain in knots...
With top 4 going through. How many fixtures though? You'd have to do what they're doing with Europa this year and not have everyone play everyone in the group, or you'd still be playing in August.
For a straight 'top 2' you'd need 8 groups of 3. But always one sitting out in the group stages...
I think they're a bit unlucky to go out with 4 points when at least 2 teams, maybe more, go through with 3 (and it could even have been 2 points going through at one stage). It's a screwy format :shrug:
I don't think it's unlucky they finished bottom of this group though, especially with...
Right, part 1 done.
Now to play Slovakia, we need:
Any Georgia win, or
Portugal win or draw, and Czechia win by 1 or 2.
All other roads lead to the Netherlands.

Group E unlikely scenarios which put Hungary straight through and us playing Netherlands:
Slovakia win, Ukraine win by 5+
Slovakia win by 5+, Belgium win
Romania win by 4+, Ukraine win
Romania win, Belgium win by 2+
A couple of other unlikelies but only if the team in 3rd gets a sh*tload of...

This. Just sitting on the CBs all game so nothing moves quickly enough. He's too close for a decent out ball from the defenders and when he has the ball he's too deep to do anything decent with it. He doesn't need to be part of the fannying about at the back, he needs to be in the space that...
Nope. We can't play anyone from F in the next round now.
It basically now boils down to: if Hungary go through, we play Netherlands - if Hungary go out, we play 3rd from Group E.
For Hungary to go out and us to avoid Netherlands, you need either:
1. Whoever comes 3rd in Group E to have drawn...
