The Euro 2016 Thread

And when are they deciding? Tonight, after the two games? Friday morning? 3pm Saturday?

 

All the matches have to finish, so that magic sums can be performed.

 

Ah yes, maths! Not my strong suit, so glad to leave it to others

 

Where's Beddy when you need him.

 

The moment the final group games end it will be known!

 

You need the below chart, the wall chart and a clear mind.

On the left hand side are the group numbers. Once we know the four best third place finishers then we will know which selection to use on the above chart.
So if the four best third place teams come from groups A, B, C & D then we use the top example.

Unfortunately, I have formatting issues, but on the right hand side of the selection is the order of who plays who, which matches with the order of the winners line above.

So in the top example, winners of group A play third place team in group C
Winner of Group B(Wales) play third place team in group D
Winner of Group C play third place team in group A
Winner of Group D play third place team in group B

It's probably best to just wait until the group rounds are over, but if you want to try and guess on who Wales might face based on current results, then I can tell you that groups A & D currently have the worst third place records, so the current selection would be B C E F.
That would put Wales against the 3rd placed team in Group C which is Northern Ireland, but this is the only set of third places which will see the home nations play each other. It's more likely that Wales will play either Turkey or Albania

Or just patience and wait until you are told.

 

Southampton's new manager will reveal the draw in his/her first press conference

 

2-0 Turkey

 

Penalty to Spain.

 

That's not a penalty.

 

Thanks - you've just given me a migraine

 

Saved! Justice.

 

What a complete farce. Not a penalty and the keeper came at least 3 yards off his line. Awful refereeing all round.

 

So rules now allow goalies to do that with a penalty?!

 

No. There's no excuse for missing that. Shocking refereeing.

 

Are those guys in black just behind the goal line just for show Tom? What exactly are they there for?

 

I don't have a ****ing clue!

 

Those extra officials behind the goal never do anything. What's the point in them.

 

2-1 Croatia!
