    Cor. I might give it a watch.

    Also, a draw against Italy will not be enough for Norway, having lost to Croatia 5-1(!) in Croatia, and beaten them 2-0 in Norway, the head-to-head means Croatia will take second spot in the event of a tie on points.

    At least Pirlo is injured!

    That goal for those who aren't watching. Was a great goal, if only he'd score a few like that for us.

    Unless I'm misunderstanding (likely...), I don't know why the commentators are saying one goal isn't enough for Norway - I think it would have been.

    One more point would make them the highest points scoring third place team unless I'm missing a result, and therefore they would have qualified.

    I believe this tournament works on the head-to-head record within the qualifying stages.
    But why, rather than goal diff. or goals scored, mystifies me :emoticon-0112-wonde

    It works on head to head within a group, but then there's an odd number of groups so the team in third with the most points in the group stage (minus results against 6th place teams) bypasses the playoffs. I make it that Norway would have avoided it with another point, as it is Hungary qualify directly I think.

    Edit: I'd missed Turkey, whose result against Iceland has secured them the best third place team qualifying spot.

    There was the goal against Sunderland which was even better than this IMO. I seem to remember Hughton saying he would never manage it again...

    Hughton really knew how to build a players confidence.

    All I could see was a reference to midweek fixtures, which tend not to occur in the PL?

    Well, they mention Derby City, oops, County. He was sent off in that match but I am not sure he scored.

    <laugh> Ha, ha I was having a 'blonde' moment and read it incorrectly ! When they said he scored against Derby in the play-off final they were refering to Koo-Pee-Aah's final not ours ......................<coat>
