They could use a Euro 2012 group tableAnd ask a single question about that
This could replace the entire C4 unusable paper
That is how complex these rules seem to be
What is wrong with straightforward Goal Difference

I could not see for the life of me how the Dutch can go through ... even if they win
After my 20th reading I now think that ... if all 3 are on 3 points they re-do the table ignoring the games with Germany and look at goal difference there
Or something like that -

Re: They could use a Euro 2012 group tableI've given up trying to understand, I just know they have to win with 2 goal difference and germany need to win. I don't understand why or how.(Original post by TenOfThem)

Re: They could use a Euro 2012 group tableHa(Original post by Danny.)
It goes by head to head results, then goal difference. Not that hard to understand guys!
That is where you share my initial confusion
If Germany and Holland win tonight and 3 of them are on the same points ... then it is GD before head to head but not including GD in games with Germany

Even if the dutch win by what they claim to be a 2 goal lead. They'd still come 3rd if we are to assume the same rules for Russia because they already lost head to head against Denmark.
So I really don't understand what they mean, they're using one rule one minute and switching from h2h to gd the next.

Re: They could use a Euro 2012 group tableThere is one set of rules if 2 are on the same points and a different set of rules if 3 are on the same points(Original post by TheGrinningSkull)

Re: They could use a Euro 2012 group tableThat second goal was superb wasn't it(Original post by Brit_Miller)
All that matters is that Ronaldo scored twice to finally get some points for my dream team.

Re: They could use a Euro 2012 group tableIf the group had ended
GER 9
DEN 3
POR 3
NED 3
The 3-way tiebreaker goes:
1. Points obtained in the matches between teams in question
- Equal, as DEN beat NED, POR beat DEN and hypothetically NED beat RUS
2. Goal difference in matches between the teams in question
- DEN even, POR was +1 before tonight, NED was -1, so if the Dutch won by two they'd be +1 and POR -1, so they go through
(If Holland won by 1 goal it goes to the next step)
3. Goal difference in all games(ie who lost to Germany by the least)
- Again this would all be even at -1
4. Goals scored in all games
- Portugal wins this step
Runaway, runaway....
