    Why isn't that the case with two teams then?

    because if denmark were to beat germany each of denmark, portugal and germany would all have 1 better result and 1 worse result. There would be no way it could decide which team would go through. Germany would be ahead of portugal on result against but behind denmark, Denmark would be behind portugal but ahead of germany and portugal would be ahead of denamrk but behind germany. Basically it wouldn't work

    Quite difficult to decide what I would most like to happen tonight. A draw between Spain and Croatia would mean that we could play Croatia if we finish top. If Croatia win tonight, we'll be wanting to finish 2nd, which would be weird. Whatever happens, I'd much rather we got to play Croatia than Italy, but would definitely prefer Italy to Spain. I have no idea what to hope for here.

    anyone notice that the Irish team are numbered from 1 to 11; very unusual in these tournaments.

    Haven't you heard, there's no red cards or penalties in this tournament, but the ref of the first game didn't get the memo.

    Have to say, Joe, that I don't think any team looks unbeatable. We may not be fantastic but I still think we could beat anyone on our day. Very open tournament.

    apart from the Germans. I know the Spanish haven't been great tonight, but we won't beat them coz we won't get the ball

    It does seem that way. None of the so-called favourites have played as well as expected of them.

    What is it with the Croatian fans and those bloody flares? Are all Croatians this annoying? Because I might be going there this summer.

    I'd love to go. Beautiful place, filled with a lot of reminders from recent wars

    I want to go to Split on the Croatian coast, but also tempted by Athens.
