Excuse me, what ?
My understanding is simple, that only happens if they are equal on points and on goals scored, as it is, they went out because denmark had scored more goals, if italy had got another 3 (I think) they would have gone through.

Ahhhh! I get it now! Cheers Ortega.

Because Italy drew 1-1 against Sweden and Denmark drew 2-2, they were always going to make it.

If all teams were on the same points then a new table gets drawn out including games only played against teams on the same points. Hence any goals italy scored agaisnt bulgaria dont count in this table.

ÂLÂS†ÂÎR can you read?

I seem to remember putting "after that point" when talking about Gerrard and James. Can other members clarify that part of my post did actually process?

I wasn't talking about Heskey at that point was I? We were talking about the reasons for England's loss. Heskey was not the sole reason we lost.

I only know they said it went to whoever has scored the most goals in the group, italy were always going to lose out on that one and serves them right for being so negative.

I didn't understand that either GP.

I was speaking earlier to my brother; if that game finished 2-2 (which it did), then theoretically, if Italy won 10-0, wouldn't that Goal Difference be enough to send them through?

I don't understand the whole group thing. I was hearing that a 2-2 draw between Denmark and Sweden would be enough to send them both through no matter how many goals Italy scored.

How does that work or have I misread the situation?

Oops !
I forgot about latvia.

I think all of them except Latvia/Greece have a good chance.

Euro can be funny sometimes. Who thought the danes would have won it in 92?
