    Yep but it gives you an incentive to do it every game. For example you could win your first game 10-0 and finish on a +8 gd level on points with 2 teams on negative gd, but those 2 teams scored more goals in the games between the 3 of you so you go out, hence you need to attack every game to the last minute and score as many as you can.

    Holand has to beat Portugal at least by two goals difference and Denmark losing to Germany. In this scenario Holand goes through.

    Portugal can win and still not get through and can loose and go through :huh:

    Head to Head seems a bit confusing because in the Euros it's only a 4 team group, think of it in a 20 team league.

    It's the last game of the season, Man Utd vs Man City who drew the reverse fixture earlier on in the season. Man Utd are 3 points behind in the league with a massively inferior goal difference, in our system it's already game over because Man Utd would need to win by loads and it's not going to happen, say both teams have a cup final to play soon they'll just play their reserves and have done with it. With the head to head system Man City can't afford to lose as Man Utd would go ahead of them regardless of goal difference and it makes the game have massive meaning and would be hugely exciting.

    It depends on your opinion of what merits being ahead when you're level, who has scored more goals against the other teams in the division or who has performed best against in the games against the team they're level with. I tend to agree more with the head to head system as when teams like Man U Man City Chelsea etc meet early on in the season they'll go for it against each other instead of being cagey as they don't know if it will have an effect later on in the year.

    Its the old fashioned likes pick on the English thing........

    To be fair they where fairly strong on Russia, yet weren't on Poland. Its a chance for them to make a really tough stand on racism. To be fair we will get a tiny fine that means nothing like Croatia did.

    So long as Germany win, I'm not losing any money tonight as backed them £45 to win. £21 (just a bit less than the profit from germany win) spread across numerous bets all in favour of German/Dutch wins. Can win a total of £200 profit from all that. Covered myself a bit by laying Germany for £28 for £45 profit so really only £21 at stake.

    Robben is the type of player that mis controls the ball or mis places a pass and then throws his arms in the air like it's somebody else's fault.

    He is a tit.

    I also notice Tyldesley is ****ing himself off over Ronaldo and Nani.
    Pure coincidence that they are a Man Utd player and an ex Man Utd player?

    He is also a tit.

    Do you think Benders would have been happy to play alongside Kuntz?

    Portugal looked very good tonight, fully deserved their win.

    Still can't stick Ronaldo though.

    Very reasonable odds on betfred for a Spain win. Had £150 on Germany to win tonight, you can imagine my relief when that last goal went in. Germans looked clueless tonight, lots of the ball but kept trying to pass through 10 players and walk it into the net thinking they were Spain. So many oppurtunities to shoot and score even inside the box but they still passed it every time. Hats off to Denmark I had them written off before a ball was kicked but they came out and gave it a ****ing good go, even though they're going home they will be going home with their heads held high.
