In this case I fail to see how it could be possible, yeah. Its generally the last thing on the list for all UEFA competitions though, and you can have two clubs with identical UEFA rankings - they don't seem to bother trying to pick a nominal "higher" if the coefficient points are the same for clubs.
It happend in the 1990 World Cup with Ireland and Holland.

can someone please explain to me as I am confused about part of this rule.
I get the head to head bit, but last night watching the Poland Czech game, when it was 0-0 in that game and Greece were winning 1-0, they had the table up and said if it stays like this Russia (on 4 points) were going to win the group and Greece (on 4 points would be second)?
they're in play table at half time with 0-0 in poland game and 1-0 to greece was
Russia 4
Greece 4
Czech 4
Poland 3
now Czechs previously beat Greece 2-1 so why were they only third and needed to now win? their hth with greece is better?
and why were Russia top as Greece were beating them?
when Czech's scored they rightly went to top on 6 points but Greece stayed second and Russia went from first to third on BBC
wtf

Read my post from earlier in the thread post #15, that explains how it's worked out in the event of three teams level on points (basically if 3 teams are level on points its results from all the matches between them that are used to work out the head to head standings)
