duchessXI Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 The qualification situation of Group C (The Group of Death)http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story...008&cc=4716 Holland's barnstorming displays against Italy and France mean they have already qualified as winners of the group. But it's far more complicated for second place between Romania, Italy and France. For Romania the task is simple. If they pick up three points against what is likely to be a below-strength Dutch side they will be through. Romania and Holland were grouped together in qualifying with Romania taking four points from the two meetings. If Romania lose they can only stay in the competition if France and Italy finish goalless, but even that has conditions. If they draw they need Italy and France to draw also. Italy and France, as mentioned, must rely on Holland taking points off Romania. In that event the winner of the Italy-France match will go through. Should Italy and France draw and Romania lose, then all three sides will be level on two points. The first decider is head-to-head, and when three teams are involved a mini-league is created. The results for the Netherlands are ignored. As Italy have a goal difference of 1-1 and France 0-0, then France cannot overtake Italy in the event of a draw. Italy will always remain ahead of them on goals scored. So France have to win to stand a chance of reaching the quarter-finals - any other result and they are out. If Italy and France draw 0-0 and Romania lose, then Italy and Romania will have identical records in the three-team mini league. It will then go down to goal difference. If Romania lose by fewer than three goals they will qualify. If Romania were to lose by more than three goals then Italy would finish second. If they lose by three goals it will be decided on goals scored. A 0-3 defeat will mean they have an identical scoring record of 1-4 with Italy, so the positions would be decided on co-efficient. Italy's co-efficient is 2.36 and Romania 2.25, so under the 0-0/0-3 scenario it would be Italy who go through. However, if Romania lose by three goals at a ratio of 1-4 or greater then they would finish second by virtue of goals scored. Clear? Basically, If France and Italy draw 0-0 Romania have to lose by fewer than three goals or 1-4 and upwards by ratio. Now, if France and Italy draw 1-1 or any greater number then Italy will go through as they will have scored more goals than France or Romania in the three-team mini-league Quote Link to comment

_eRon_ Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 european girls are so hot!!! want to touch the hinny!! hehe Quote Link to comment
biggyprox Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 How true, about zidane. I remember one of my fondest memories sa football was when me and my brother went to podium to watch the finals for the 2006 world cup, italy v. frasnce. I never thought that a lot of people would show up that night. But that night was special, for zidane and for italy. Everybody knows the story. To the present day, I think this Euro was a test not for france but for henry. He really did seem like he wuld take the reign of france as head man but i guess he isnt as special as zidane is. Thought domenech would do a better job as well. I've always favored the French team to win these internationals, most of the squad are well known. My next bet to be winners are germany or netherlands. Please, not spain, torres is just a huge pansy! And please not the italians. Theyre a bunch of crap! Quote Link to comment
redshirt Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 the orangemen is the best looking (performance) team imo...My word, DH in the futbol thread. WHAT?!?!?! The czech girl is a fraud? Sverge FTW! Quote Link to comment
