Meh, in my opinion the upper position should be given to who won the match beetween 2 teams. SO in this case that would still be the greeks to go on.

Agreed. Football is chaotic, and bad luck is part of that. Can't change rules everytimes one does not like a result.

Eh? What dumb rule is this? They didn't get the results - they're out. Simples. My only gripe so far is the final group games are on simultaneously.
What do I choose tonight? The Germany game or the Portugese....decisions, decisions......

The dutch are not up to it so far from what I've watched. I settle for Germany-Denmark tonight for the sake of better gameplay...
Too bad Russia and Poland are out of the game. Poland-Czech Republic was a decent match though.

Its Holland v Portugal for me.
I expect Germany v Denmark will be a draw.
They draw and the Dutch are out, if Germany beat the Danes the Dutch can qualify.
Put your money on Germany to play some squad players and settle for a draw elliminating the Dutch. Cynical view I know but true I think.

I'm sure that's exactly what is going to happen. The Netherlands are potentially a bigger threat then Denmark for the Germans.

We may win tonight, I very much doubt it, but even if we do, not with 2 goals difference

group phase means for me , addition of the results. That the "KO" system is counting already as the second decission factor in a group is new - and still odd for me. in the old system when 'points, goals, goaldifference' counted before the direct comparrison, russia would be second and greece out.
its just my personal opinion!
