Hammerafc Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Every tournament that has group stages has teams that go out with more points than teams that go through in other groups. It happens all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 (edited) One thing the pundits are right about, bar the Netherlands vs Austria game, the 3rd games in the groups have been poor viewing. Edited June 26 by DeeTillEhDeh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s shite and must be an absolute killer, but them’s the breaks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Ukraine must have suspected that they would need a win today, given a draw suited the two sides in the other game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be the first time that Ukraine have tried to have rules magically rewritten for themselves tbf, after their 'send us to the 2022 World Cup' gambit. Hope all their loser fans with their laser pens enjoy their night. The BBC are clearly correct in judging that it's the format's fault that a Ukraine team with attacking talent played like a bunch of turds and created very little today, or that Gareth and co bored everyone shitless last night despite having nothing whatsoever to lose. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qos_75 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Lineker is a fucking idiot. What is so difficult to grasp about elimination from the Group stages? You finish bottom, then you are out. It isn’t exactly a new concept. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s shite and must be an absolute killer, but them’s the breaks. Same boat. Different opponents/quality in each group so it’s pointless saying they finished on 4 points in 4th but someone else in a different group got 3 points. So what?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a farce that is It really isn’t - it’s just round robin groups and what can happen. Despite Lineker’s greets, maybe not being rumped 3-0 by Romania might have helped the Ukrainian cause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 1. De Bruyne is a cock. 2. The final round of the groups has been dreadful after a promising start to the tournament. 3. Interesting hearing Rooney talking about how teams just want to score the perfect goal and are too shy of crossing or shooting, saying its all Pep’s fault. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
