Re: OT: Euro04
Indeed, hence my edit. Though I guess I am responsible, as France scores only when I am writing they are losing, and not before. (Sadly it happened as well in a certain other game against England. *Sighs* It hurts quite a lot when you leave with England leading, and comes back a few minutes later to see you have just lost the game.  ) |

Re: OT: Euro04
Great Game!
Croatia nearly would have beaten France! If that Last shot on the goal from the croatians...nah...nevermind, a relative slow match, but lots of goals :-)
France still can be kicked out by Suisse (even if they need to win with at least...hmm...3 goals?!)
That would be weird...

Re: OT: Euro04
Switzerland needs to win with four more goals than France to manage to get through. How likely is it? Not quite I would wager.
Intimidator, I happen to be for England, and so I would rather see France gone from the competition. Alas, they managed to get a draw against Croatia, meaning they will get through. (Unless something really, really weird happens against Switzerland that is) |

Only if England draw with Chroatia and three teams have 4 points. If England win or lose, Swiss go through regardless of the margin of the victory.
Thus, Swiss can win 1:0 and qualify or win 3:0 and still fail. Bizzare

Re: OT: Euro04
Oh, I didn't know about a certain rule, which would allow Switzerland to pass if they have as many points as France. Thanks for the clarification!
Now what would be truly weird: both France and England don't make it. Hmm, perish the thought! (I have nothing against France finishing third of the group though. *Smirks*)

Re: OT: Euro04
Not that difficult.
I am sure that after watching both games Swiss discovered the secret how to beat France :
Never ever back pass to goallie !!
