Wrong. For teams level on points it only bears in mind the games between those teams initially. Some weird version of head-to-head. As Italy would have 1-1, 1-1, while Spain and Croatia would have 1-1, 0-0, Italy would top the group.

I guess they're using standard points/GD/goals like they do for other competitions. I'm not sure why the Euros uses such weird rules, but the same reason why Croatia's superior GD to Italy matters nowt in terms of qualifying, nor do Spain's.

yeah, I can't figure it out. I actually thought that if 3 teams were on the same points, and their head to head results were the same (i.e. all draws) then irrespective of scores they go to GD.

Not sure I'm a fan of head to heads going above goal difference. Its only UEFA who do it like this. The World cup goes to GD first

Neither were offside in the end. I was sure it was initially, but both runs were perfectly, perfectly timed from the replay.

Commentators saying it puts a huge ask on Croatia, but it really doesn't. 1-1 forces the issue to GD doesn't it?

I feel really sorry for Croatia. Their performances both in terms of offensively and defensively throughout the tournament have been great. They've definitely been better than any team in Group A, and probably than any in Group C.

I'm willing to bet that a lot of clubs will be looking at various Croatian players to see if they can get them. Any that have previously scouted will be gutted as prices will rise a fair amount.

Edit: And good penalty shouts as well. Can anyone say there's been a good refereeing performance yet this tournament?

I've only seen it in real-time & the replay once, but it looked to me that the goalscorer was off when the ball through was played.

I'm not even going to pretend to understand why 1-1 would have been enough for Croatia, but not 0-0 :unsure:

      I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over.

      UK Politics

      Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.

      Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.

      2027 Headliners

      By incident · Posted

      Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
