    The annoying thing is that Germany have nothing to lose by conceding any more. They could lose 100-0 and they'd still finish above Portugal if Portugal lose. So they can afford to chuck everything at Hungary.

    With my Saints hat on, wonder if this makes Digne a doubt for opening day.

    Actually, I take that back. They could lose out to Finland. But they can still afford to concede two more first.

    Yes but more likely Portugal score again which takes them out.

    I didn't include that scenario because it seemed too improbable...

    Oh absolutely. But that doesn't have any relevance to the size of a German loss. Germany have nothing to gain by "holding onto" a 1-0 defeat. They can afford to risk conceding in pursuit of an equaliser.

    Why do people want us to play Portugal rather than Hungary?

    I would obviously prefer Hungary so want a french win, but the main thing is avoiding France

    Unfortunately England can't play Hungary without Portugal going out. And with a £200 jackpot at my work sweepstake, I want Portugal through.
